“Accident Case”
Goldstein, Buckley, Cechman, Rice and Purtz, PA was the only law firm who would take our car accident case. Andrea Pleimling Smith was very thorough, explained everything in a very detailed fashion, and was easy to reach when questions arose. She kept us informed every step of the way. Without her, we would have suffered a severe financial loss due to an accident which was not our fault. Florida’s No Fault law is terrible and very unfair. Andrea and her team were very helpful in recouping all of the money we were required to spend!

“Thank you again for everything”
Thank you again for everything you did for me. Your compassion and concern was greatly appreciated. I have all the faith in the world with you by my side. If ever I know someone who needs an attorney, I will recommend your office. Everyone I had dealings with was very professional. Good job.

Question:
What are some common mistakes people make if they have been injured in a slip and fall?
Answer:
A common mistake that someone may make with a slip and fall injury claim in Florida is not contacting an attorney immediately. We’ve recently spoken to a lady who tried to handle the case on her own for the first few months, was not able to get anywhere with the insurance company, and then came to us. She’s already months behind, where she could have already been negotiating her settlement, and we have to get the case and put the case together. What happened in that case is she did not put the defendant restaurant on notice of her fall, and there was a video of the accident that was destroyed by the restaurant because they did not know that she was going to make a claim.
If you hire an attorney right away, that attorney can then put the restaurant or premises on notice, and then they can get any evidence that exists, such as a video, potentially an incident report and witness statements. Those things can help ultimately maximize the value of your case. Try to hire an attorney right away. We have four board-certified civil trial attorneys at our law firm, which means we’re experts in the area of personal injury, and we understand how to handle slip and fall cases and help clients navigate through those.
Feel free to reach out to us if you have had a slip and fall. We are experts in slip and fall cases and can help maximize the value of your case.
