Question:
I slipped and fell due to faulty steps in Southwest Florida; do I have a case?
Answer:
If you slip and fall due to faulty steps in Florida, then you absolutely can potentially have a claim. We had a young lady come to us and said, “I slipped and fell on the steps at my apartment complex, and I was hurt badly.” We started to look into that case for her. We got involved early on. Through some requests for documents from the apartment complex, we found out that they had painted these steps with a paint that was not non-skid or non-slip, and that’s required because these were outdoor steps that can get wet.
There are all different sorts of faulty step claims. You can have the wrong sort of paint used. You can have steps that have the wrong size risers or wrong size treads. You can have step cases where the steps are broken up. We’ve handled all of these sorts of cases. We’ve been handling faulty step slip and fall cases for nearly 60 years in Florida, so this is right in our wheelhouse. If you have a slip and fall because of some faulty step issue, please feel free to reach out to our law firm. We’d be happy to help you.
{"@context": https://schema.org,"@type": "FAQPage","mainEntity": [{"@type": "Question","name": "How long is it going to take to resolve my slip and fall injury claim in Southwest Florida?","acceptedAnswer": {"@type": "Answer","text": "The amount of time that it can take to resolve your slip and fall injury claim in Florida can really vary. Sometimes an insurance company will come right away to the table and they’ll want to get the case settled. We’ve had clients who were able to settle the case within two to three months after the accident happens, but that’s really a rarity. More likely than not, you’ll have to go through a few months process of getting your medical treatment, and then we get to the point where your medical treatment’s complete and we can send a special damages or demand letter to the insurance company. That can then settle the case within the next couple of months. If that doesn’t settle it, then you have to file a lawsuit.
Oftentimes in slip and fall type of injury cases, the insurance company will try to string the case out and try to make you file a lawsuit because they understand some attorneys will actually tell their clients to walk away from the case because the attorney’s not willing to file the lawsuit. Our firm is willing to file a lawsuit. We are a trial firm. We litigate slip and fall cases to try to maximize the value of those cases.
The easy answer is sometimes we can get these cases settled within a matter of months, but oftentimes, in a slip and fall case, you’ll have to file the lawsuit and then go through that litigation process, which can take several more months. We have board-certified civil trial attorneys that can make that litigation process as easy on you as it can. We do all the heavy lifting, guide you through the case, and help maximize the value of your case. If you have a slip and fall or trip and fall kind of case, feel free to reach out to our law firm. We’d be happy to help you.
