Slip and Fall Accident in Jacksonville

Brett Hastings, a slip and fall attorney in Florida, advises seeking medical care immediately if you slipped and fell on someone else’s property, even if you think no injury resulted. Slip and fall injuries sometimes seem insignificant or aren’t painful until several days later. Waiting for pain to develop or waiting to see if the injury heals on its own can jeopardize your rights to collect compensation for medical costs, suffering and financial loss caused by the fall. Hastings Injury Law will tell you that with every accident you should have a medical professional examine the injury and follow up with a call to us for a free consultation.

Even if don’t think an injury occurred, if someone was negligent in maintaining their property when you slipped and fell, the property owner could be liable for any injuries that eventually arise. If you slip and fall, we can help you get compensated for medical costs and other factors. Florida law requires personal injury lawyers to prove, as part of the process, the incident in question caused the injury for which compensation is being sought. One of the best ways to do that is show hospital or doctor records indicating the injury was diagnosed immediately after the fall. The full extent of your injuries may not be immediately obvious, but failure to get examined by a medical professional increases the difficulty in tying the injury to the slip and fall incident.
