What should you do after a slip and fall accident in South Florida?

If you’ve been injured, taking the right steps immediately can help protect both your health and your potential claim.

• Seek medical attention promptly. Even if your injuries initially seem minor, some symptoms may not appear right away. Follow your doctor’s recommendations and keep records of your treatment.

• Report the accident. Notify the property owner, manager, or business as soon as possible and request that an incident report be completed. Ask for a copy for your records.

• Document the scene. Take photos and videos of the exact condition that caused your fall, including wet floors, uneven pavement, broken surfaces, missing handrails, poor lighting, and the presence—or absence—of warning signs.

• Gather witness information. If anyone saw the accident or the hazardous condition, collect their names and contact information.

• Be cautious with insurance companies. Avoid giving a recorded statement or accepting a quick settlement before you understand your rights and the full extent of your injuries.

Under Florida premises liability law, property owners and others responsible for a property may have a duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions and warn visitors about certain dangerous conditions. Establishing a claim can depend on proving that a hazardous condition existed, that the responsible party knew or should have known about it, and that the condition caused your injuries.

Florida generally provides two years to file most negligence-based personal injury claims, but exceptions and different requirements can apply depending on the circumstances.

If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall anywhere in South Florida, Willis Law, P.A. can help you understand your legal options.

How long do you have to file a car accident claim in Florida?

For most negligence-based personal injury claims arising from accidents on or after March 24, 2023, Florida law generally provides two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit under Florida Statute § 95.11.

Importantly, the clock does not generally stop because you are still receiving medical treatment, negotiating with an insurance company, or waiting to see how your injuries develop.

A few important things to know:

• The two-year deadline applies statewide, including throughout South Florida.
• Accidents that occurred before March 24, 2023, may be subject to the prior four-year deadline.
• Limited exceptions may apply, including certain claims involving minors, government entities, or injuries that could not reasonably have been discovered earlier.
• Insurance and PIP requirements are separate from the lawsuit deadline. Seeking medical treatment within 14 days can be important for preserving PIP benefits.
• Waiting can make your case more difficult as evidence disappears, witnesses become harder to locate, and surveillance footage may be overwritten.

The safest approach is not to assume you have plenty of time. If you've been injured in a car accident, speaking with an attorney early can help protect important evidence and ensure you understand the deadlines that apply to your specific situation.

At Willis Law, P.A., we represent car accident victims throughout South Florida and help clients understand their legal options.

After an injury, you may have two main paths to compensation: negotiating an insurance settlement or filing a personal injury lawsuit. Understanding the difference can help you make informed decisions about your case.

Insurance settlements often resolve faster and can avoid the time, expense, and uncertainty of litigation. The process typically involves medical records, bills, a demand for compensation, and negotiations with the insurance company. However, once a settlement is accepted and a release is signed, you generally cannot pursue additional compensation for the same claim.

A personal injury lawsuit becomes an option when a fair settlement cannot be reached. Filing suit does not necessarily mean going to trial. Through discovery, both sides exchange evidence, answer questions, and take depositions, and many cases ultimately settle before a verdict.

Several factors can influence which path makes sense, including the severity of your injuries, available insurance coverage, disputed liability, the strength of the evidence, and the long-term impact of your injuries.

Florida also follows a modified comparative negligence system. If you are found more than 50% responsible for your own injuries, you may be barred from recovering damages. And for most negligence-based personal injury claims arising after March 24, 2023, Florida generally provides a two-year deadline to file a lawsuit.

At Willis Law, P.A., we help injured individuals throughout Boca Raton and South Florida understand their legal options and pursue the compensation they may be entitled to.

If you're weighing a settlement or considering a lawsuit, don't make a decision without understanding the potential consequences.

When a teen driver is involved in a car accident, the moments that follow can be overwhelming for the entire family. Knowing what to do can help protect your child's health, legal rights, and future.

If your teen is involved in a crash:
• Seek medical attention as soon as possible—even if injuries seem minor.
• Call law enforcement and obtain an official accident report.
• Document the scene with photos and gather witness information, if it's safe to do so.
• Be cautious when speaking with insurance companies, and avoid admitting fault before all the facts are known.
• Encourage your teen to stay off social media while the claim is pending, as posts can sometimes be used by insurance companies.

Florida has specific laws that apply to teen drivers, and in some situations, parents may also face legal responsibility for damages. Understanding your rights and responsibilities early can make a significant difference in protecting your family's interests.

At Willis Law, P.A., we help families throughout Boca Raton and South Florida navigate the legal challenges that can follow serious motor vehicle accidents. If your teen has been injured—or you've been injured in an accident involving a teen driver—we're here to help you understand your options and pursue the compensation you deserve.

A day on the water should create lasting memories—not lasting injuries.

Whether you're on a boat charter, sightseeing cruise, or jet ski tour, operators have a responsibility to provide a reasonably safe experience. Unfortunately, accidents can happen due to inexperienced operators, poor maintenance, overcrowding, inadequate safety instruction, or negligent operation.

If you're injured during a boating excursion in Florida, taking the right steps early can help protect both your health and your legal rights:
• Seek medical attention immediately.
• Report the accident to the appropriate authorities and tour operator.
• Take photos of the scene, your injuries, and any hazardous conditions.
• Collect witness information whenever possible.
• Avoid discussing fault before speaking with an attorney.

Many people assume that signing a liability waiver prevents them from pursuing a claim. That's not always the case. Depending on the circumstances, businesses may still be held responsible if negligence contributed to your injuries.

At Willis Law, P.A., we help injured clients throughout Boca Raton and South Florida understand their legal options after serious boating and recreational watercraft accidents. If you've been hurt due to someone else's negligence, we're here to help you pursue the compensation you deserve.

Not every traumatic brain injury is obvious. After a pedestrian or bicycle accident, symptoms of a concussion or traumatic brain injury (TBI) may not appear until days—or even weeks—later.

If you're experiencing headaches, dizziness, memory problems, brain fog, mood changes, fatigue, or difficulty concentrating after a crash, don't ignore them. You don't have to lose consciousness or suffer a direct blow to the head to sustain a serious brain injury.

If you believe you've suffered a TBI:
• Seek medical attention and ask about a neurological evaluation.
• Keep a journal documenting your symptoms and how they affect your daily life.
• Follow your treatment plan and save all medical records.
• Speak with an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.

Florida law generally gives injury victims two years to file most personal injury claims, so taking prompt action is essential.

At Willis Law, P.A., we understand the lasting impact a traumatic brain injury can have on your health, career, and quality of life. If your injury was caused by someone else's negligence, we're here to help you pursue the compensation you deserve.

After an accident, every moment counts.
Evidence does not last forever. Witnesses become harder to reach, surveillance footage can be erased, and important details can be forgotten over time.

The sooner you take action, the better your chances of preserving the evidence needed to support your claim and protect your rights.
If you have been injured due to someone else's negligence, do not wait to get the guidance you need.

Truck accident claims are different—and so are the tactics insurance companies use to protect their bottom line.

Because truck accidents often involve catastrophic injuries, multiple parties, and higher insurance policies, insurers frequently work quickly to limit what they pay. Understanding these tactics can help protect your rights.

Common insurance strategies include:
✔ Asking for a recorded statement before you know the full extent of your injuries.
✔ Delaying the claims process to increase financial pressure.
✔ Offering a quick settlement before future medical needs are known.
✔ Questioning the severity of your injuries or claiming they were pre-existing.
✔ Requesting broad access to your medical history.
✔ Monitoring your social media activity.
✔ Attempting to shift blame under Florida's comparative negligence laws.

If you've been injured in a truck accident, it's important to seek medical care, preserve evidence, keep detailed records, and avoid speaking with the insurance company before understanding your legal rights.

At Willis Law, P.A., we know how insurance companies handle truck accident claims, and we're committed to protecting our clients every step of the way. We investigate thoroughly, preserve critical evidence, and fight for the compensation our clients deserve.
