Slip and fall accidents may leave you with varying degrees of injury. If you are seriously hurt and that too at no fault of your own, it is necessary to talk to an injury attorney to file a claim. Florida laws state that the victim must file the claim within 4 years from the date of the incident.

What is the objective? Well, the chief objective is to get compensation for the injury. Otherwise, you may have to pay for the hefty medical bills on your own. This is especially difficult if you miss work and lose wages. It is also important to ensure that the entity responsible for the incident realizes their negligence and pay for it.

Any sort of ‘hazardous condition’ may form the basis of the case. Kissimmee property owners are liable for the injury in case the condition was permanent, e.g. a broken staircase. However, if it was temporary, e.g. spilled milk on the floor of a departmental store, the responsibility of the property owner or manager is questionable. The factor that he/she knew about it and did nothing could help your case.

Your Kissimmee injury attorney can help assess responsibility in a slip and fall accident. Under Florida comparative negligence rule, the compensation amount may diminish if the victim was also partly responsible for the accident. Suppose there was a sign warning about a water spill and you did not notice it. You may not be able to get a good compensation in such a situation. It all depends on the circumstances of the incident.
