The Right Lawyer
Makes All the Difference

Not every attorney understands what it takes to win a Florida slip and fall case. At our firm serving Daytona Beach, Palm Coast, and surrounding communities, we’ve spent decades going up against property owners and insurance companies who try to minimize valid claims.
We build every case with care by securing records, witness statements, and expert input. That's because your recovery isn’t just about money. It’s about justice, dignity, and peace of mind.
With us on your side, you can pursue damages for:
- Emergency and ongoing medical care
- Time away from work and lost wages
- Pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment
- Wrongful death or loss of companionship in fatal cases
We don’t settle for less — and don’t get paid unless you do.
How We Prove Liability To Strengthen
Your Case
Establishing who is at fault and what their responsibilities were is the heart of every premises liability claim. We investigate not just what happened, but what the property owner should have done to prevent it.
Establishing Negligence
To hold a property owner accountable, we consider:
-How long the hazard existed and whether it should have been removed
-Whether the area was properly marked or restricted
-If regular safety inspections were conducted
-Whether poor lighting or weather conditions contributed
-Whether it was reasonable for the hazard to remain at the time
Defending Against Blame
Insurance companies may try to reduce or deny compensation by shifting blame onto you. Florida’s comparative negligence rules mean your compensation can be reduced if you’re found partially at fault. We work to protect your share by addressing:
-Distractions at the time of the fall (like texting)
-Ignored safety signs
-Whether you were lawfully on the property
Frequently Asked Questions About Slip and Fall Cases in Daytona Beach
What if I was partially at fault under Florida law?
You may still have a case. Florida follows a modified comparative negligence system, which may reduce your compensation if you’re found partly at fault. Our attorneys work hard to protect your rights and maximize recovery under Florida’s legal framework.
How long do I have to file a slip and fall claim in Florida?
Most personal injury claims in Florida must be filed within two years. But claims involving government property like city sidewalks or state buildings can require formal notice within just 30 days. We’ll make sure you don’t miss a deadline.
