YOUR LIFE IN LANTANA
When an ordinary errand changes your routine
From shopping along Dixie Highway to visiting a restaurant near Ocean Avenue, everyday outings should not leave you trying to reconstruct an accident alone. Tell us where you fell, what you noticed, and what happened afterward. We look at the particular property and circumstances, rather than assuming every fall has the same explanation.
What we look at after a fall
The condition at the scene
A spill, uneven surface, loose flooring, or lighting problem may be relevant. Photographs can help show the condition before it changes, but your safety comes first.
Who knew and who was responsible
Ownership alone does not answer every question. We examine who controlled the area and what they knew or should have known about a dangerous condition.
What the injury has changed
Appointments, work restrictions, and help with household tasks tell part of your story. Keep records that explain the practical effect on your daily life.
Useful things to keep together
- Get the care you need. When possible, record the location, time, and names of people who witnessed the fall.
- Save any incident report, photographs, receipts, and messages from the property owner or business.
- Bring your questions to a consultation. We can discuss missing evidence, insurance contact, and the next steps that may apply.
Questions about this practice area
Does falling in a store automatically mean I have a case?
No. The condition, responsibility for it, and evidence of notice can matter. For a temporary substance on a business floor, Florida law addresses whether the business knew or should have known about it. Your facts need individual review.
What if the floor was cleaned before I took a photo?
You can still call. Witness accounts, an incident report, video, or other records may help explain what happened. Tell us what you remember without guessing at details.
Can someone help me make the first call?
Yes. A relative can help you organize the timeline and join the conversation. Initial consultations are available by phone, video, or at our North Palm Beach office.
