Common Slip and Fall Hazards in Miami
Miami slip and fall accidents commonly occur due to wet floors without warning signs, uneven sidewalks, poorly lit stairways, loose carpeting, spilled liquids in stores, and deteriorated walkways. Our Miami personal injury attorneys investigate the specific hazard that caused your fall.
Proving Liability in Slip and Fall Cases
To win a slip and fall case, we must prove the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn visitors. Our Miami slip and fall lawyers gather evidence including surveillance footage, maintenance records, and witness statements.
Trip and Fall Accidents
Trip and fall accidents often involve uneven surfaces, broken sidewalks, potholes, debris, or unexpected changes in elevation. These cases require thorough investigation to establish that the property owner was negligent in maintaining safe walking surfaces.
Injuries from Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall injuries can be severe, including broken bones, head injuries, spinal damage, and torn ligaments. Elderly victims are particularly vulnerable to serious injuries. Our Miami personal injury lawyers ensure all medical costs and future care needs are included in your claim.
"I slipped on a wet floor at a grocery store and broke my hip. The store tried to blame me, but Eugene Mesin proved they were negligent. I received $275,000 for my injuries and medical bills."

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do after a slip and fall accident?
Seek medical attention immediately, report the incident to the property owner or manager, take photos of the hazard and your injuries, get contact information from witnesses, and contact a Miami slip and fall lawyer as soon as possible.
Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault?
Florida follows comparative negligence rules, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you can still pursue a claim.
How long do I have to file a slip and fall lawsuit in Florida?
You generally have two years from the date of your slip and fall accident to file a lawsuit. However, it's important to contact a Miami personal injury lawyer quickly to preserve evidence and investigate your case.
