What You Should Do After a Slip and Fall Accident
Your actions immediately following a fall can make or break your ability to prove owner negligence. Follow these critical steps:
Ensure safety & call 911 if you are seriously injured.
Collect evidence — Take photos of the hazard (wet floor, broken railing, inadequate lighting) and your injuries.
Exchange info with witnesses & property management (but avoid giving extensive statements).
Complete an incident report with the store or property manager.
Seek medical treatment immediately to document your injuries.
Avoid recorded statements with insurance adjusters.
Call Maaswinkel Law before signing anything or agreeing to a low offer.
If you delay medical treatment, property insurers may claim your injuries weren’t caused by the fall.

Slip & Fall Risks & Statistics
As experienced premises liability lawyers in Orlando, we know local risks. Slip and fall accidents are common in high-traffic commercial and public areas. Common causes in Central Florida include: inadequate lighting in parking lots, unmarked spills in retail stores, broken stairs or railings in apartments, and damaged sidewalks near tourist areas. We are prepared to hold owners of large commercial properties, grocery stores, and tourist attractions accountable for failing to maintain safe premises.
Common Questions
When clients meet with a Slip and Fall Attorney, the same questions often come up.
Do I have a case? You generally have a case if a property owner was negligent in failing to fix a hazard or warn visitors, and that failure directly caused your injury.
What are the deadlines? Under Florida law, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim.
Is it expensive? No, at Maaswinkel Law, there are no upfront fees; we only get paid if we win your case (contingency fee basis).
What if I was partly at fault? Florida’s comparative negligence law still allows you to recover compensation, even if you were partially responsible for the accident.
