Common Slip and Fall Hazards in Jacksonville

Slip and fall cases arise in various settings throughout Jacksonville, including:

  • Retail Stores and Restaurants: Common risks include spilled liquids, slippery food debris, cracked tiles, and poorly placed floor mats.
  • Sidewalks and Parking Lots: Cracks, potholes, broken curbs, and poor lighting often cause dangerous walking conditions.
  • Office Buildings and Worksites: Hazards include slick floors, torn carpets, exposed cables, and unmarked steps.

If a property owner fails to address known hazards, they may be liable for resulting injuries. For additional information, see our page on legal concepts.

What To Do After a Slip and Fall in Jacksonville

Following an accident, time is critical. Here’s what to do:

  1. Seek Medical Attention: Injuries such as fractures, concussions, or internal damage might not be immediately obvious. Prompt care supports both health and legal claims.
  2. Report the Incident: Ensure the fall is officially documented by store managers, landlords, or law enforcement.
  3. Document the Scene: Take photographs, gather names of witnesses, and save clothing or shoes that might support your case.
  4. Avoid Giving Statements to Insurers: Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts. Always consult your lawyer first.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I slip and fall in a Jacksonville business?

Immediately seek medical attention, report the incident to a manager or supervisor, take photos of the scene, and gather witness contact info. Then contact an slip and fall injury accident attorney in Jacksonville to protect your rights and begin building your case.

Can I sue for slipping on a wet floor in a Jacksonville grocery store?

Yes. If the store failed to clean up or warn about a known spill, you may have grounds for a premises liability claim. Florida law requires property owners to maintain safe environments for visitors.

How long do I have to file a slip and fall lawsuit in Jacksonville?

Florida’s statute of limitations for personal injury cases, including slip and fall, is two years from the date of the accident. Contacting a Jacksonville slip and fall lawyer early ensures evidence can be preserved.

What types of compensation can I recover in a slip and fall case?

You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and long-term disability. Visit our Types of Damages page to learn more.

How do I prove a property owner was negligent in my fall?

Our legal team investigates maintenance records, surveillance footage, incident reports, and witness statements to show that the owner knew—or should have known—about the hazard but failed to act.

Are slip and fall claims hard to win in Jacksonville?

These claims can be complex, especially when insurance companies try to shift blame. That’s why working with a trusted slip and fall attorney in Jacksonville is critical to gathering strong evidence and expert testimony.
