Negligence means that someone had a <strong>duty of care<\/strong> to someone, but <strong>breached that duty<\/strong>, and as a result, <strong>the person they owed the duty to sustained an injury<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a <strong>slip and fall case<\/strong>, a person must be able to prove that the fall was caused by the negligence of the property owner. This is typically demonstrated in slip and fall cases by proving that the property owner knew that conditions existed, and did nothing to about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing to consider is that Florida is a <strong>modified comparative negligence<\/strong> state. This means is that even if someone could prove that the negligence of the property owner caused their injury if their own negligence contributed to the fall as well, then their potential damages may be <strong>reduced by the amount that their own negligence contributed to their injuries<\/strong>, up to 50%. If they are found 51% or more at fault, they are prohibited from recovering any damages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Statute_of_Limitations_in_Indian_River\"><\/span>Statute of Limitations in Indian River<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"364\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kogan-disalvo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/iStock-948703858-statute-of-limitations.jpg\" alt=\"Close-up of an hourglass, pen, and magnifying glass on top of a legal document\" class=\"wp-image-6619\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to know that anyone injured in a slip and fall must file a claim within a certain period, otherwise, the claimant may forfeit the right to receive compensation. <strong>The statute of limitations for a slip and fall case in Florida is two years<\/strong>, meaning a person must file their case within two years of when the fall occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although many cases could be resolved outside of court, it is important to file as soon as possible. The sooner a case is filed the more time is saved as well as court costs and fees, filing insurance claims and negotiating with the other side. An <strong>Indian River slip and fall lawyer<\/strong> may know the importance of planning ahead and not wait until the last minute to initiate a case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gaining_the_Counsel_of_an_Indian_River_County_Slip_and_Fall_Lawyer\"><\/span>Gaining the Counsel of an Indian River County Slip and Fall Lawyer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"364\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kogan-disalvo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/kogan-disalvo.jpg\" alt=\"The attorneys at Kogan &amp; DiSalvo in front of their office building\" class=\"wp-image-8027\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you fell on someone else\u2019s property and sustained injuries, you have already been through a lot.
