If you suffered an injury because of one of these types of incidents, call our experienced Stuart slip and fall attorneys for a free consultation.

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.

I had the pleasure of having Amanda as my paralegal over my case and she made my experience a lot smoother. She was attentive and compassionate when speaking with me and explained the legal jargon seamlessly. Now that my case has finally wrapped up I can say that I would recommend Kogan & DiSalvo to anyone in need of personal injury representation. Yes they are a giant of a legal team but with a great team that feels personal to you. If you’re reading this, in search of representation, I wish you the best and hope you choose a team that will passionately represent you.

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..

My neighbor used Kogan & DiSalvo twice and had such a positive experience that after I was involved in a car accident she told me that I really should call them, so I did. After I filled out the form online someone called me within 3 minutes. She was very kind, compassionate and very sympathetic to my situation. From the beginning she let me know that she needed to speak with the attorney and find out some more info before she could say if they could even help me. The honesty from her was very appreciated. Although I’m not finished with my case I am very very happy with how things are going and even more so with the treatment I recieve from everyone I have dealt with. I am treated like a person, not a number, which is unfortunately very rare. They honestly do care and do truly want to help. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a personal injury attorney.

Unfortunately I was involved in an accident, for which I didn’t see the need for an attorney. But I am happy I took the advice to get the help of the team at Kogan & Disalvo. They made sure my medical bills are paid.
Thank you

My wife and I were hit in the rear by an 18 wheeler, that was loaded with bricks. Fortunately we were able to walk away, but I sustained damage to my back and neck. I can’t thank this law firm enough for the advice they gave me. It took quite a while to finally settle the case. Tiffany did a great job preparing me for my disposition, and I was very pleased the way she handled the eventual arbitration.
Thank you Tiffany, and the entire staff for their professionalism. I have no hesitation in recommending them to others in need of legal advice.

5

I highly recommend hiring Kogan & DiSalvo! They worked very efficiently and diligently to settle my case. There were a few setbacks and delays but Amanda Hudson conquered them without hesitation! If I ever need an injury lawyer I will only trust Kogan & DiSalvo!

Brian Andino was an outstanding lawyer who, along with his hard-working team, handled my personal injury case with professionalism and care. I was injured in a parking lot that was not maintained properly, and Brian, supported by his diligent staff, helped me navigate a complicated legal process with ease. His team was always responsive, organized, and ensured that I stayed informed at every stage of the case.

Brian’s expertise was evident in the way he built a strong case, and his team’s attention to detail made a significant difference. Together, they fought hard to secure a fair settlement for my injuries, holding the negligent parties accountable. I always felt like Brian and his team genuinely cared about my recovery and well-being.

I highly recommend Brian Andino and his dedicated team to anyone in need of skilled, compassionate, and thorough legal representation.

We would like to thank the team at Kogan and DiSalvo and wish them all a wonderful Thanksgiving. When my wife and I were involved in a small crash in 2021, we met with Ted DiSalvo at the Boca Raton office. Ted was so helpful and made us feel like he really cared about us and took our case even though it was minor. In 2022, we were rear-ended by a commercial plumbing truck that caused major injuries to my wife and I. We naturally called Kogan and DiSalvo back. We knew that they would take care of us again. Tiffany Fanelli was assigned to our case, and, Wow! For over 2 years, we worked with the team at Kogan and DiSalvo. There were times that we had doubts about what our future looked like, but Tiffany always encouraged and reassured us that she was working hard to resolve this case. Recently, Tiffany put together the most impressive presentation we have ever seen in our professional careers and Tiffany won our case in a big way. We are so thankful for what Tiffany was able to accomplish. And equally grateful to the entire team at Kogan and DiSalvo. We highly recommend them if you have to deal with a similar situation. To everyone at Kogan and DiSalvo, we wish you a happy Thanksgiving and a wonderful holiday season.

Our attorneys were very professional and efficient.
They communicated frequently and were very patient answering our questions and or concerns. In addition, they negotiated settlements with medical providers which reduced our expenses resulting in larger settlement proceeds.
In closing they did a fantastic job, and I would strongly recommend them.
