Deltona, Volusia County · Slip and fall claims
A wet floor at a store, a broken step at an apartment complex, a cracked walkway in a shopping center: if you were hurt in a fall in Deltona because a property was not kept safe, Tomas Robirosa can help, in English or Spanish.
Falls can cause broken bones, head injuries and back injuries, especially for older adults. Florida law does not make a property owner responsible for every fall, but owners and businesses do have to keep their property reasonably safe. If you were hurt in a slip and fall or trip and fall in Deltona, this page explains how these claims work.
A property owner or business generally has to keep its property reasonably safe and warn visitors about dangers it knows about or should know about. When someone falls because of a dangerous condition, the key question is often whether the owner knew, or should have known, about the problem in time to fix it.
For falls caused by a substance on the floor of a business, such as a spilled drink, Florida Statute 768.0755 requires the injured person to show that the business had actual or constructive knowledge of the condition. Constructive knowledge can be shown, for example, when the condition existed long enough that the business should have found it, or when it happened regularly.
Florida's modified comparative fault rule also applies. If you are found partly at fault, your recovery is reduced, and if you are found more than 50% at fault, you generally cannot recover.
For most negligence claims in Florida, the deadline to file a lawsuit is generally two years from the date of the incident. Every case is different, so speak with an attorney to confirm the deadline that applies to you.
A successful claim can include medical bills, future treatment, lost income, pain and suffering and other losses. Because falls often cause fractures, surgeries and long recoveries, it is important to document your injuries and treatment from the start.
