Your slip and fall injury case is important to us. In order to secure the compensation you deserve, it is vital that you rely on the experience and skill of legal counsel. A Stuart personal injury attorney could guide you through the legal process and help you secure a fair outcome in your case.

How Injuries Often Occur

There are numerous situations where slip and fall injuries could occur. Some falls are the result of negligence, while others are largely unavoidable. Even when you are careful, unexpected conditions can lead to a slip and fall accident, such as:

  • Unmarked wet or otherwise slippery surfaces
  • Food or beverage spills
  • Inadequate lighting
  • Uneven surfaces
  • Poorly maintained flooring
  • Damaged carpets or floor mats

Depending on the circumstances of your fall and the type of property where it occurred, someone’s negligence may be the reason your slip and fall occurred, in which case you may be able to recover compensation with the help of our experienced slip and fall attorneys in Stuart. If you are wondering why you should hire a lawyer, consider that these types of cases can become complex because the parties associated with the property may work quickly to try to get you to accept an unfairly low settlement. Our attorneys have decades of experience with slip and fall cases, and we can fight tirelessly to maximize the compensation you can get for your injury.

Common Types of Slip and Fall Injuries

Slips, trips, and falls can result in a wide range of physical injuries. These injuries can occur when you strike the ground after losing your balance. Some fall injuries involve twisting joints or breaking bones as you attempt to brace yourself during the fall.

Some of the common injuries in slip and fall cases include:

  • Sprains and strains
  • Concussions and other traumatic brain injuries
  • Cuts and lacerations
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Paralysis
  • Leg injuries
  • Back injuries

Each of these injuries could be disruptive in your daily life. If you are recovering from a serious injury from a fall that was not your fault, you could be entitled to a monetary award. Whether you suffered a traumatic brain injury or broken bones, our firm could aggressively pursue justice on your behalf.

Determining Negligence

Property owners, people leasing properties, and property managers have certain duties and obligations they must fulfill. When they don’t, and an injury results, then they may be held responsible for causing the injury. For example, they have certain obligations to maintain reasonably safe conditions at their properties, or to provide you with a warning of unsafe conditions that have not yet been attended to.

If you have a case, you may be able to recover compensation for the following and for other things:

  • Current and future medical expenses
  • Loss of wages
  • Rehabilitative therapy expenses
  • Pain and suffering

Our lawyers have all of the resources, knowledge, and skill of a leading law firm, and we provide each of our clients with personal service. We will work to help you address your immediate needs after your slip and fall, such as making sure you get the medical care you need. Then we will begin building your case as you focus on getting better.

Compensation for a Slip & Fall Injury

When you hire an attorney to pursue a premises liability case on your behalf, your ultimate goal is to secure financial compensation for your injuries. The value of your potential settlement might not be certain, but our firm will work tirelessly to identify the full amount you are rightfully owed and help you secure the compensation you deserve.

Some of the types of damages that could be available to you include:

  • Medical bills. Your medical expenses could be substantial following a slip, trip, or fall. From emergency room care to ongoing treatment, these expenses can cause sudden and unexpected financial strain. Thankfully, you could recover compensation that pays for this treatment.
  • Lost wages. Missing work can be unavoidable following a slip and fall accident. Any time you miss work, you could also lose out on the wages you were counting on. For serious injuries, you could lose out on weeks or months of income. Replacing that income could be possible through a personal injury lawsuit.
  • Pain and suffering. Physical pain and suffering can come with any slip and fall accident. The injuries often heal over time, but there are situations when your pain could become chronic. This is common following nerve injuries or brain trauma. You could recover compensation based on your pain and suffering.
  • Diminished future earnings. Some injuries are so severe that they permanently limit your ability to perform certain tasks. If your disabling injuries limit the type of work you can do, it could have a negative impact on your future earning potential. You could be entitled to financial compensation based on the wages you will miss out on in the future.

Our firm could review all of the facts of your case before advising you on what it might be worth. Our team is ready to aggressively pursue a fair outcome in your case. Reach out today to learn how we could help.

What does a slip and fall lawyer cost?

Concerned about the cost of hiring an attorney following a slip and fall accident? That is understandable. Attorneys might have developed a reputation for high fees, but you have the opportunity to pursue your case without paying anything upfront. This is thanks to our firm’s approach to billing. We only take slip and fall cases on a contingency fee basis.

A contingency approach to billing gives you the opportunity to move forward with your case without paying anything out of pocket. Our attorneys only collect a fee if we recover damages on your behalf. We keep a pre-determined portion of anything we collect in your case, meaning you will only pay legal fees if you recover damages in your case.

In the rare cases where we are unsuccessful, you will never owe us anything in your case. That means you can move forward with a personal injury lawsuit without facing the risk of walking away with nothing but a bill from your attorney.

After my car accident, I was not sure where to turn, but the incredible team at Kogan & DiSalvo turned what felt like a nightmare into a smooth process. Each team member went above and beyond to make me feel supported, and confident that my case was in the best hands possible.

My paralegal Sam was an absolute superstar. She handled my case with precision and care. Any time I had a question, she was just a phone call away, ready to provide clear, detailed answers and updates. Her attention to detail and commitment to helping me was very reassuring.

Angelica was the friendly face and welcoming voice that made every interaction with the firm feel personal and comforting. From the first phone call, she treated me like a priority, always greeting me warmly and ensuring I was connected to the right person promptly. Her professionalism and genuine kindness made every visit to the office a positive experience, even during stressful times.

My amazing attorney Rachel took the time to explain every step, ensuring I understood my options. Her dedication to securing the best outcome for me was evident in every decision they made. Ultimately, their hard work resulted in a settlement that exceeded my expectations, giving me the support I needed to move forward.

I’m beyond grateful for their efforts and would highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation.

After 4 years and 9 months, our case has finally been settled out of court thanks to Todd Baker and his team: Debra, Lesley, and Amahnia. Before Todd Baker took over our suit, we had almost given up on our case. Todd and his team came highly recommended. After meeting with Todd, we decided to put our trust in him to pursue our case. We are thankful that we did. Without Todd Baker, we know we wouldn’t have gotten the settlement we did. We would highly recommend only working with Todd Baker and his team.

My husband slipped and fell in a store due to a leaky ceiling. He immediately called Kogan & DiSalvo. He spoke to someone right away and they were on his case. He went to the doctor that they provided and was diagnosed. The attention that he received from the staff and lawyers was just amazing. All of his questions were answered, and we had complete satisfaction with the way this case was handled even though it was a very small case. We appreciate everything that was done for him, and I would definitely recommend Kogan & DiSalvo for anyone that has had a slip or fall. Thank you again!

The number one injury attorneys in Florida!!
In September of 2024 , I was in an accident and hired a well known attorney in the state to which refused to return my calls and was very disappointed which ended in their representation of myself!
I then hired Kogan and DiSalvo,, and was VERY satisfied with them!
They returned EVERY call and answered my questions and concerns… to which ended in a settlement in 4 weeks!!
I would recommend Kogan and DiSalvo to those frustrated with misleading information… they are on top of their game!!
Thank you… Paul and team.

I was injured in a bicycle accident with an automobile in which I accumulated thousands of dollars in medical bills. I contacted Kogan & DiSalvo to see how to handle these bills, they explained the whole process and that I wouldn’t have to pay them any upfront money. I was assigned an attorney and a paralegal who explained every step of the process as it progressed. I dealt with Amanda who answered every question I had and I had a lot of them. They got all of my bills paid.I received payment for a new bicycle as well as a settlement from the accident. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of help.Lastly I would like to thank Amanda who was super helpful throughout this case.

I was injured while shopping at the largest corporate stores in the US. Numerous attorneys at Kogan and DiSalvo helped settle my case with a positive outcome. They set a new standard for case review of unusual elements involving the injuries I sustain ed. After continual delays by the defendants,Tiffani held fast and resolved the issues through mediation. Kogan and DiSalvo came highly recommended by friends in the business. I would also like to recommend this group for your litigation needs.

From the moment I googled injury lawyers, the first name that appeared was Kogan & DiSalvo. I’ve seeing them painted in the back of the cross many times instantly felt a sense of relief that all that right away. Boy am I glad I trusted my instincts. From the initial phone call that I made at the time of my injury I was guided over the phone what to do. It was almost like having a family and solo me through a rather traumatic situation. My attorney Ted DiSalvo has been amazing, however I did most of my correspondence with Amanda Hudson (she was like a big sister) guiding me and reassuring me an answering every question that I had throughout this long process.

Kogan and DiSalvo they treated me like family from day one. If you are ever in a position that you need a great injury firm that pays closer attention to you then your own family; Kogan & DiSalvo is who you need to call. They will make sure that you do not get shorchanged . They will get you the money that you deserve.

Lastly I know I sound like a broken record but Amanda Hudson was amazing “you rock Amanda” You made this a truly great experience..
