Handling cases in Wauchula, Bartow, Haines City and Lake Wales

A slip and fall accident is one of the most common ways a person can sustain a serious injury, and it is also the most unpredictable. These accidents happen anywhere and at any time, and they often take place due to the negligence of a homeowner, business owner, construction crew or municipality. Our attorneys at Kaylor, Kaylor & Leto, P.A. work diligently to find out who is responsible for your slip and fall injury and to help you collect damages. We are committed to securing the proper compensation for your pain, so you can recover and move on with your life.

The most common slip and fall accidents

A slip and fall accident is virtually unavoidable in certain instances, no matter how careful you are. Our slip and fall accident attorneys work to recover compensation for victims of any type of accident, including:

  • Cracked sidewalks — Cracked sidewalks pose multiple dangers to anyone walking on them, and they can cause a range of injuries, including twisted ankles and torn knee ligaments. Depending on where the sidewalk involved is located, the property owner or the municipality in charge of the roads in the area is at fault for its condition.
  • Slippery floors — Slippery surfaces can cause a serious injury to anyone walking on them. Even if there is a sign warning people about a surface, the building owners and maintenance crews have a responsibility to make sure their floors are as safe to travel on as possible. We pursue the negligent party to help victims of a personal injury recover the proper compensation.
  • Dangerous parking lots — Large parking lots are filled with many hazards, including cracked pavement and potholes. These types of surfaces can cause a serious slip and fall accident, resulting in bruises, broken bones and torn ligaments. It’s the responsibility of any business or property owner to maintain a safe walking surface for pedestrians.
  • Hazardous conditions — One of the most common causes of a slip and fall accident is a hazardous walking condition due to weather, including rain, snow and ice. These surfaces should be shoveled and plowed by the property owner before anyone can walk on them.
