Slip and Fall Cases in Pinellas Park, Florida
If you’ve experienced a slip and fall accident in Pinellas Park, Florida, you might be wondering if you have a valid case for compensation. Slip and fall accidents can result in serious injuries and significant financial burdens. This blog will help you determine if you have a case and explain why Kemp Law is the best choice for your legal representation.
Understanding Slip and Fall Cases
Slip and fall accidents occur when someone slips, trips, or falls due to a hazardous condition on someone else’s property. Common causes include wet floors, uneven surfaces, poor lighting, and debris. To have a valid case, you must prove that the property owner was negligent and that their negligence directly caused your injury.
Key Factors in Determining Your Case
Negligence
To establish negligence, you must show that the property owner knew or should have known about the hazardous condition and failed to address it. For example, if you slipped on a wet floor at a popular local spot like The Shoppes at Park Place, and there were no warning signs, this could indicate negligence.
Causation
You must demonstrate that the hazardous condition directly caused your injury. If you tripped on a broken sidewalk near England Brothers Park and sustained an injury, you would need to show that the broken sidewalk was the direct cause of your fall and injury.
Damages
Lastly, you need to prove that you suffered damages as a result of the accident. This can include medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. An example would be if you required medical treatment after falling at Freedom Lake Park and had to miss work.

FAQs

How Do I Know Who Was At-Fault?
Fault is determined by the evidence collected during the investigation. We look to many things to determine fault in the case: we look to the police report, we look to witness statements, we look to the property damage to the vehicles, skid marks, layout of the cars, etc. Sometimes we even have to refer to accident re-constructionists to do a professional examination of the all the evidence to do a recommendation for us, but that does not happen in very many cases.
-
Will I Recover Monetary Damages?
It depends on who was at fault for the accident. If you were at fault, your insurance company will pay for the damage to the vehicle. If you were not at fault, the at-fault driver’s or owner’s insurance policy will pay for the damage, and if they do not have enough coverage to cover the damage to your vehicle, your collision coverage (if purchased) would pay for the damage to your vehicle.
-
What Documents Will I Need?
We like you to bring the driver’s exchange of information that the police officer gives you at the scene. We also like you bring any photographs of damage at the scene. Also bring your health insurance cards and your auto insurance cards or declarations page, so we can review the coverage available to you.
-
What Should I Say To The Insurance Company?
The at-fault party’s insurance company could ask you to give them a recorded statement. You do not have to give them a recorded statement. However, if your own insurance company asks you for a recorded statement please seek advice from your attorney so that they can assist you in giving that statement. But yes you do have to comply and you do have to give your insurance company a recorded statement.
-
Will I Have To Go To Court?
Actually, most cases, or a large percentage of the cases are resolved pre-suit, which means the cases never go to court. We work with the insurance companies before filing suit to try to find a fair resolution for the client, which save money on expenses, court costs and attorney’s fees.
