A Slip and Fall Can Lead to Serious Injuries and Considerable Damages
A slip and fall accident can cause various injuries. Your age, whether you have pre-existing injuries, and even the position of your body when you land are all factors that may affect the nature of your injuries in a slip and fall accident. Common slip and fall injuries include:
- Concussions and similar traumatic brain injuries
- Bone fractures/breaks, particularly in the hands, wrists, arms, and hips
- Neck injuries
- Back injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
While some injuries in a slip or trip and fall are “minor,” others can affect you for months, years, or even the rest of your life. The care you require can be costly, especially if your injuries are permanently disabling or require in-home care.
If your accident resulted from a property owner’s carelessness or actions, you may file a claim or lawsuit seeking compensation for the cost of your medical treatment.
You could also seek compensation for lost wages if your injuries prevent you from working. Sometimes, when injuries are particularly severe, an injured party can seek compensation for future losses. These may include the cost of ongoing medical treatment and lost earning capacity.
You can also recover compensation for non-economic damages that don’t directly affect your wallet. For example, you may be eligible for pain and suffering if your injuries caused you to experience physical, mental, and/or emotional pain during your recovery.
A member of our team can review your case to provide a clearer sense of the damages that may be available.

Can I Afford to Hire an Attorney for My Slip and Fall Injury Case?

Steps to Take in the Days and Weeks Following a Slip or Trip and Fall Accident
Don’t wait to take legal action after a Pompano Beach slip and fall. The statute of limitations in Florida requires you to file a lawsuit within two years of your accident, per Florida Statute § 95.11. You’ll lose the right to sue for compensation if you miss the deadline.
Along with contacting a member of our team, other steps to take (and to avoid) following a slip and fall include the following:
- Continue to receive medical care and follow a doctor’s orders. This demonstrates a commitment to recovery and indicates your injuries are serious enough to require continued treatment. Keeping copies of your medical records and bills also generates evidence that may be helpful in establishing why you’re eligible for financial compensation.
- Don’t discuss your case socially or post about it on social media.
- Limit interactions with the insurance company or its adjusters. Be very cautious to avoid making statements that could otherwise suggest your own negligence played a role in the accident or that your injuries aren’t that serious.
Luckily, you don’t have to interact directly with the insurance company much at all if you hire our team. Instead, you can refer any representatives of the insurance company to your lawyer.
