    You Can Expect Our Aventura Fall Injury Attorneys to Fight for Your Rights

    When a fall injury occurs in Aventura, FL, the property owner or lessee is often legally liable. Our Aventura slip and fall lawyers can take the necessary steps to document the cause of your fall and show that it only occurred because of the liable party’s negligence. With strong evidence, we can often settle these cases without taking them to trial.

    Some ways we win these cases for our clients include:

    • Negotiating a fair settlement agreement with the liable party, their legal representatives, or their insurance company
    • Taking the case to trial and asking for a verdict and payout
    • Mediation, often required before setting a trial date
    • Arbitration, as sometimes required by the Florida Courts
    Get Timely Assistance After a Slip and Fall

    Per Florida Statutes § 95.11, injured parties usually have two years following their Aventura injury to file a complaint in a Miami-Dade County civil court. Families pursuing a wrongful death case have two years after the date of their loved one’s death. Missing these deadlines could severely affect the outcome of your case, making it difficult or impossible to recover fair compensation.

    Our slip and fall lawyers prefer to know about your case as soon as possible after your injuries occur. This ensures we can act quickly and protect your rights, begin our investigation, and preserve crucial evidence. We can handle your legal action while you heal.

    Our Slip and Fall Lawyers Understand How Aventura, FL, Fall Injuries Occur

    • Restaurants
    • Shops
    • Grocery stores, such as Publix or Whole Foods Market
    • Aventura Mall
    • Founders Park

    What You Should Do After Falling in Aventura

    When a fall happens, it is important to get the medical care you need right away. However, it is also crucial to ensure the hazard is documented, if possible. Take pictures with your phone, check if there are cameras nearby that captured the fall, or ask an eyewitness to take pictures or video of the scene. This could help prove your case later.

    If you did not or could not document the scene, the attorneys at Rosenberg & Rosenberg can still help you. Our premises liability law firm encourages you to connect with us as soon as you can.

    Applying the Four Elements of Negligence in Premises Liability Claims

    To recover compensation, our slip and fall attorneys must show:

    • The property owner or occupier knew about the hazard or should have known about it
    • They did not properly address the hazard
    • The hazard caused your fall
    • You suffered physically and financially as a result 

    For example, imagine you fell at an Aventura grocery store. There was spilled liquid in one of the aisles, and you slipped. The video available from the store’s cameras shows a worker walking past the spill and doing nothing. In this case, there is evidence that an employee knew about the liquid, the employee failed to remove the slip hazard, and you slipped and suffered injuries.

    Evidence Our Lawyers Can Compile in Your Aventura Slip and Fall Case

    The evidence our premises liability lawyers in Aventura might use to build this case against the grocery store includes:

    • Video from the premises showing the hazard and the fall
    • Eyewitness statements
    • Photographs from the scene
    • An accident scene survey 
    • Your relevant medical records
    • Expert testimony about your injuries and ongoing treatment needs
    • Documentation of your damages, including income statements, bills, and receipts 

    Many of these items are commonly used as evidence to support a financial recovery in a fall injury case in Aventura. Our attorneys understand what it takes to fight for just compensation and present a robust and convincing case to the insurance company or in court.
