According to the Florida Department of Health, fall related hospitalizations in Okaloosa County increased each year between 2016 and 2019.
In 2019, the most recent year with available data, 653 people in Okaloosa County were hospitalized due to falls. That averages out to nearly two hospitalizations every day.
The lifetime risk of dying from a fall is about 1 in 106, which is comparable to the risk of dying in a car accident.
For older adults, falls can be especially serious. One in five falls results in a significant injury. While a fall may not always seem severe at first, it can lead to life changing injuries or even death for some individuals.
This is, understandably, the most common question we get. The truth is, every case is different. You might be wondering this because you’re concerned whether what you get will cover all of your damages.
We can assure you that our goal is to get every dollar you deserve.
Some things that can affect the value of your case are:
Accidents that result in serious injuries or loss of life are often associated with higher case values. The best way to understand what your case may be worth is to speak directly with our Destin personal injury attorneys as soon as possible.
We offer free consultations with no obligation, so you can get the information you need to make the right decision for your future.
You can seek compensatory damages to cover your monetary losses (economic damages) and your pain and suffering (non-economic damages).
Damages can cover things like:
In some cases, punitive damages could be available. These are extremely rare. They’re only awarded in cases where the defendant harmed you intentionally or through extremely reckless conduct. We’ll advise you as to whether seeking punitive damages could make sense in your case.
In many cases, yes. Florida follows a modified comparative fault system, which means responsibility for an accident can be shared among multiple parties. Each person involved is assigned a percentage of fault, and that percentage directly impacts the amount of compensation they can recover. If someone is found to be more than 50 percent at fault, they may not be eligible to recover damages.
For example, if you were found to be 30 percent responsible for an accident and your case was valued at 100,000 dollars, your recovery would be reduced by 30 percent, resulting in an award of 70,000 dollars.
Having an experienced Destin slip and fall attorney on your side is critical when it comes to challenging unfair blame. Insurance companies and at fault parties often try to shift responsibility onto the victim to reduce or deny payouts. Our team is prepared to push back and fight for the compensation you deserve.
When you hurt yourself in a fall, the consequences can be tragic, particularly for older adults.
Falls are the number one cause of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). We work to calculate past and future costs associated with all of your injuries.
We represent victims with slip and fall injuries of all kinds, including:
It’s crucial to seek medical attention as soon as possible after your fall, even if you don’t think you’ve been hurt. Many injuries require a doctor’s expertise to diagnose.
It’s not uncommon for multiple parties to be potentially liable for your injuries. That’s why it’s so important to have an experienced slip and fall lawyer conduct a comprehensive investigation before proceeding with your case.
Slip and fall accidents are a type of premises liability case. The law has some specific requirements depending on why you were on the property.
But, in general, unless you were trespassing, the property owner has a duty to:
If you were injured in a slip and fall, it is unlikely that a crime was involved. In most cases, you will need to prove that your injuries were caused by a property owner’s negligence in failing to keep the premises safe.
To succeed in a claim, you must establish four key elements of negligence: duty, breach, causation, and damages.
Under Florida premises liability law, if your injury was caused by a substance on the floor of a business, you must show that the business had actual or constructive knowledge of the dangerous condition.
This can be challenging. If the hazard was not in an area where staff could reasonably have discovered it, proving your case may be more difficult. That is where experience matters.
