Here is another topic from the accident lawyer from Boca Raton (injury lawyer Delray Beach, accident attorney Boynton Beach, injury attorney Lake Worth).
As we have spoken about before, in order to have a case, you must show the person or entity that you are suing is at fault (liability), that you sustained injuries (damages) and that your injuries were caused from their fault (causation). You must prove all of these elements and if the defense disproves any ONE of them, then generally there cannot be a case. Here, if you fell but were NOT injured, you would generally not have damages (you may be entitled to something legally for the embarrassment but I believe that would likely be nominal in most instances). It would be an unfortunate incident but if no injuries, no medical treatment, and essentially nothing wrong with you, then there would be no damages and generally no case. Yes, in such an incident, the store very well may have been negligent and did something wrong but if no damages ensued, this would generally not be a case.
I handle cases against: Publix, Winn Dixie, Albertson’s, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Aldi’s or any local supermarket.

The advise contained in this blog is intended to be of general matter and not as to a specific situation, so please call a licensed Florida attorney, like the lawyer at Drucker Law Offices, to determine if and how Florida law applies to your case.
