Slip-and-Fall Claims

Jacksonville Slip and Fall Accidents

If you or someone in your family has been injured in a serious fall on property owned by another individual or corporation, contact a personal injury lawyer at the Law Offices of Ronald E. Sholes in Jacksonville. Our understanding of Florida premises liability law on issues ranging from building code violations to negligent security can help you recover the damages you need in the aftermath of serious slip and fall injuries.

We represent persons who have slipped and fallen on dangerous surfaces under such circumstances as the following:

• Uneven sidewalks, driveways, or parking lots
• Unlit stairways or hallways
• Poorly maintained escalators
• Wet or oily floors in grocery stores, auto repair shops, or other retailers
• Broken or missing handrails on porches or in stairwells

While the injuries suffered in a severe slip and fall case are not usually disabling or life threatening, sometimes they are. there's no telling where a person's head will land or what it will strike. For elderly persons, a fall on a hard surface can result in a broken hip, which can mean a long period of immobility, dependent living, and a painful convalescence.

Our personal injury lawyers will make a thorough investigation of the facts necessary both to establish the defendant's liability and the proof of your complete damages. In the most severe injury cases, we work with consulting physicians to present expert testimony as to the extent of your injuries and your prospects for recovery. We also work with rehabilitation therapists to present evidence as to the practical difference the injuries mean for your daily life, your ability to work, and the assistance and resources you need to meet the challenges of ordinary living.
