Tampa Slip and Fall Lawyer

How a Tampa Slip and Fall Lawyer Can Help

Stores and landlords routinely dispute these claims. We document the hazard and the notice they ignored.

Stores and landlords routinely dispute slip-and-fall claims, arguing the hazard was 'open and obvious' or that they had no notice of it. Under Florida law, an injured customer generally must show the business knew or should have known about the dangerous condition.

We act quickly to secure surveillance footage, incident reports, and cleaning or inspection schedules before they are overwritten, then use that record to establish the notice the law requires. Fast documentation is often the difference between a denied claim and a recovery.

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

• ✓Past and future medical expenses
• ✓Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
• ✓Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
• ✓Property damage and out-of-pocket costs

Slip & Fall FAQs

How much does a Tampa slip and fall lawyer cost?

Nothing up front. Mark H. Wright handles slip & fall cases on a contingency fee — you pay no fee unless we recover compensation for you, and your initial consultation is always free.

How long do I have to file a slip & fall claim in Florida?

Florida generally gives injury victims two years from the date of the injury to file a personal-injury lawsuit (shortened from four years by a 2023 reform). Some claims have shorter deadlines, so it is important to speak with an attorney quickly.

What is my slip & fall case worth?

Every case is different. Value depends on the severity of your injuries, your past and future medical costs, lost income, and how the injury affects your life. We evaluate all of these to pursue the full compensation you are owed.

Do I have to go to court for a slip & fall case?

Most cases settle without a trial. But Mark prepares every case as if it will be tried, which is often what convinces an insurer to make a fair offer.
