Call now to find out how Rosenberg & Rosenberg can pursue these and other damages on your behalf.
If you slipped, tripped, or fell at a corner store or gas station, whether you were inside, on the sidewalk, or in the parking lot, you could sue the store owner for damages. However, you must be able to prove that the property owner or business owner was negligent.
Proving negligence generally requires establishing the following four elements:
For a slip and fall at a convenience store, for instance, you must prove that the owner had a duty of care to prevent or address dangerous conditions on the premises. They may violate this duty by, for instance, leaving a puddle of water by the front door without any warning sign.
If you slip and fall in the puddle, you can use video, photo, or witness evidence to prove that their failure to clean up or warn about the water caused your injuries. You can then use documentation like medical bills and financial statements to show how the slip and fall injuries caused you to suffer losses.
The process can be complicated, especially if you are receiving treatment for serious injuries. A Florida premises liability attorney with Rosenberg & Rosenberg can help you navigate the legal process while you focus on recovering your health.
Florida law limits the time you have to file a lawsuit for injuries on someone else’s property. You typically have two years from the date of the injury, but this can vary depending on your case details. You can therefore benefit from contacting our slip and fall attorneys in Florida as soon as possible.
Not only can prompt legal attention ensure you meet filing deadlines, it can help your attorney recover critical evidence. CCTV at gas stations, corner stores, and convenience stores is often overwritten on a regular basis. Witnesses can forget important details about the accident over time, and the accident site is unlikely to remain the same. Rosenberg & Rosenberg can begin gathering this evidence while you are still receiving treatment for your injuries.
Whether you slipped at a gas station off the interstate or tripped over a loose tile at your local corner store, Rosenberg & Rosenberg can gather evidence to establish the cause of your injury and support your claim for medical bills and other damages. Over the past 50 years, we have recovered millions of dollars in compensation for injured people throughout Florida. Let us seek justice for your slip and fall in a convenience store.
