Miami Slip & Fall Attorney
Slips, trips, and falls account for a surprising number of severe injuries each year. According to the National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI), falls account for over 8 million hospital emergency room visits annually, making them the leading cause of hospital visits. Slips and falls account for over 1 million visits or 12% of total falls. NFSI also reports that slips and falls are the leading cause of occupational injury for people aged 15-24.
A significant portion of these injuries can and should be avoided. Many times they are caused by easily cured hazards, such as un-cleaned spills, uneven surfaces, poor lighting, unsecured cords, rugs, and carpets, unmarked changes in elevation, or building code violations.
Under Florida law, property owners have a duty to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition and to warn others of hidden dangers. This is true for those who maintain and operate stores, residential commercial complexes, restaurants, and other businesses which are open to the public.

We help you get the medical care you need when you need it. Our lawyers and staff help you make appointments, obtain medical advice, and recover from your injuries, both physically and financially. We are at your side each step of the way.
03. Review
Our lawyers and medical experts review your medical records to determine the most effective way to present your injury claim.
