A serious fall can leave you with more questions than answers.
Was it just an accident?
Could it be a personal injury claim?
What if it happened while you were working?
Can workers’ comp and a personal injury claim both apply?
In Florida, the answer depends on where the fall happened, what caused it, who controlled the property, and whether you were working at the time.
Not every fall is a case. Rainwater tracked into a store entrance, for example, can be very difficult to prove as a claim. But falls caused by a leaking cooler, broken flooring, unsafe mats, poor lighting, jobsite debris, or another hazard may deserve a closer look.
This is especially important for workers, delivery drivers, contractors, healthcare workers, and others who may be injured while working on someone else’s property. In some situations, both workers’ compensation and a third-party personal injury claim may need to be evaluated.
At All Injuries Law Firm, our attorneys handle both personal injury and workers’ compensation cases for injured people across Southwest Florida.
