FAQs
The settlement size for a slip and fall accident claim depends on various factors, such as the extent of your injuries, the cost of medical treatment, the impact of the injury on your work and quality of life, and your pain and suffering.

Under Florida law, you can still seek damages for a slip-and-fall accident even if you are partially at fault. However, the amount of compensation you can receive may be reduced depending on your percentage of fault. Florida follows the comparative negligence rule, which means that if you are found to be partially at fault for the accident, your damages will be reduced proportionally.
For example, if you are found to be 30% at fault for the accident, your damages will be reduced by 30%. However, if you are found to be 50% or more at fault, you may not be able to recover any damages.
Hentschel x Lanza slip and fall lawyers will help you navigate the complexities of Florida's comparative negligence laws and determine the best course of action to obtain the compensation you deserve. Contact us today for a free consultation.
