Many people think of fall injuries as minor. They picture scrapes and bruises. However, some fall injuries can be much more serious. From serious lacerations to fractures to concussions, many fall victims require emergency medical care.
Many require an urgent care visit, and others could warrant a stop at an emergency department or an ambulance to go directly to the closest hospital. This is often Broward Health Coral Springs on Coral Hills Drive.
According to Florida Health, there are also designated trauma facilities nearby, including Broward Health Medical Center (Level I) or Broward Health North (Level II).

Falls are among the most common types of injury accidents. While they can be relatively minor, this is not always true. It is possible to suffer serious injuries from a hazard almost anywhere. Some places where a property owner or occupier’s negligence might cause a fall include:
Falls are also common because of the wide range of hazards that can cause a slip or trip to occur. If the property owner or lessee—or their employees—were aware of any of the following issues and they caused you to fall, you might have a case against them.
Some common fall hazards include:
While we often refer to these as “slip and fall” cases, we can help victims build a case based on many types of fall accidents and injuries. This could include:

Many injury cases settle without going to trial. Still, strong evidence is necessary to recover fair compensation. Our attorneys must present a case that compels the insurance company and liable party to offer an appropriate payout based on our client’s expenses and losses. This means we must convince them they are better off paying now than going to trial and being forced to do so.
Alternatively, sometimes, we must file a lawsuit and prepare a case for trial. Some cases are only decided when a jury issues a verdict.
In general, the two ways we recover compensation for fall injury victims are:
We demand fair compensation from the property owner and their insurance carrier, providing evidence of what happened, their liability, and the damages our client suffered. This often leads to back-and-forth negotiations and may result in a settlement agreement for fair compensation.
Litigation begins when an attorney from our team files a lawsuit in the appropriate civil court. This process includes discovery, where we exchange evidence with the defense and take depositions from witnesses, and pre-trial motions. This process prepares us to go to a jury trial. At trial, we present our evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and advocate for a verdict on our client’s behalf.
It is important to note that Florida only gives victims up to two years to file a lawsuit in most cases. Under Florida Statutes § 95.11, you could lose the right to litigate your case if you do not act quickly to enlist our help with your case.
Under Florida Statutes § 768.81, you cannot recover compensation for your damages if a jury finds that you are more than 50 percent at fault for your injuries. This is known as modified comparative negligence.
Because of this statute, it is common for liable parties and their insurance companies to try to blame injured parties for their own falls. Our Coral Springs slip and fall accident attorneys must aggressively work to counter these allegations and present strong evidence to highlight the danger of the fall hazard and the liable party’s inaction to correct it.
