Determining Liability for Your Slip and Fall Injuries
You do not expect to slip and fall when you visit a friend, restaurant, or store. As an invitee to a property, you might attend an event, special sale, or dine with friends expecting that you are free from harm.
When you experience serious injuries due to a slip and fall accident, Florida law protects your right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Your case may qualify for a personal injury lawsuit under any of the following conditions:
- The property owner failed to correct known dangers.
- The invitee to the property was unaware and not warned of possible danger.
An invitation to visit another person’s property implies the property owner has used a reasonable amount of care to maintain an environment that is free from foreseeable harm.
Common Dangers that Can Cause a Slip and Fall Accident
Your injuries may have resulted from a poorly maintained property that the owner was aware of its dangers yet failed to fix or warn others about. Common dangers that can cause a slip and fall accident include:
- Torn carpet
- Cords across flooring
- Staircase with no handrail
- Poor lighting
- Wet floors
For example, a wet floor caused by an existing roof leak can cause you to become seriously injured. The property owner’s failure to fix the known leak demands accountability for your injuries.
Your injuries are not your fault and you are not alone. At Ben Crump Law, PLLC, a Miami Gardens slip and fall injury lawyer will fight for the rights of personal injury victims. We believe no one should suffer physical, financial, and emotional stress due to a negligent property owner.
If you experienced a serious slip and fall accident due to no fault of your own, we can help. Call Ben Crump Law, PLLC, now for a free case evaluation: (855) 933-4005.

Recovering Compensation from a Slip and Fall Accident
Your injuries may include multiple health-related issues—all requiring expensive and ongoing medical treatment and care. Before we can pursue compensation for your injuries, losses, and other expenses, Florida law dictates that we must prove the following:
- The defended owed you a duty of care.
- The defendant was negligent, either through their actions, or by failing to act in a way that protected you from harm.
- The defendant’s negligence caused your injuries.
- You or your family sustained damages due to the defendant’s negligence.
Each personal injury lawsuit is different. At Ben Crump Law, PLLC, we can typically seek the following damages from the liable party from a slip and fall accident:
- Medical costs, such as hospital and doctors’ fees.
- Costs for ongoing medical care, including prescription medications and therapy.
- Lost wages for time missed from work due to your injuries.
- Diminished earning capacity, if your injuries prevent you from returning to your career.
- Pain and suffering caused by the inaction of the negligent property owner to correct or warn others of a known safety hazard.

Wrongful Death
Beyond the severe injuries, like traumatic brain injuries, that are possible in a slip and fall accident, some such events can result in death. If you lost a close loved one due to a slip and fall accident, call us at (855) 933-4005 today.
A wrongful death claim is a legal action that allows us to seek additional financial awards on your behalf, like costs associated with final medical expenses, funeral costs, and more. No amount of money can ever replace your loved one, but it can ease your financial stress during this difficult time.

Be Wary of an Insurance Company’s Quick Offer
While your slip and fall accident was a traumatic event, you do not have to deal with your case alone. Our team of Miami Gardens slip and fall injury lawyers can help protect your best interests moving forward.
One way we do this is by representing you during negotiations with insurance companies. Insurance companies might reach out to you soon after the accident to either assign blame for your accident or to pressure you into accepting a low dollar settlement. Accepting an initial offer from an insurance company can prevent you from pursuing a possible civil action later should your medical condition worsen.
Do not speak with insurance company representatives or any property owners on your own. Let our firm handle the details of your case so you can better concentrate on your health and medical care.
