Personal injury cases are legal disputes that arise when one person suffers harm from an accident or injury, and someone else might be legally responsible for that harm. In cases where the slip and fall accident involves someone slipping on the premises of another and, as a result of that, suffering injury, it is automatically considered a personal injury case.

Other injuries you can get from slip and fall accidents include broken bones, soft tissue injuries, traumatic brain injuries. hip fractures, sprained ankles, and spinal cord injuries.

In order to prove slip and fall negligence in a case, you must prove that the property owner had a hazardous condition on their property; the property owner failed to warn anyone of the danger or correct the hazard; and that the dangerous condition directly caused your injuries.

It all depends on the severity of the case. However, the average accident settlement in Miami or anywhere in Florida is about $15,000. When injuries are severe, the average settlement can be higher.
