If you suffered injuries to your back, neck, or spine in a fall on someone else’s property in Tampa, your fall may have been preventable. A Tampa back injuries lawyer from Distasio Law Firm may be able to help you collect proof and build a case against the property owner or another party who failed to prevent your fall in Hillsborough County, Florida.
Property owners and managers must remove all hazards as soon as possible. Failing to do so leaves them liable for any injuries that occur. If we can build a case showing the property owner knew about the hazard that triggered your fall or that they should have known about it, they may be financially liable for your damages.

Benefits of Hiring Our Firm To Lead Your Tampa Injury Case
If you’ve suffered a backinjury or lost a loved one from such injuries, hiring our firm may provide several benefits. While you can handle your case on your own, there are risks to going without an attorney. If you pursue compensation without a lawyer’s help, then you may:

Back and Spinal Cord Injuries Are Possible After Any Type of Fall
Slip and Falls generally occur due to one of three factors:
- A lack of traction
- An object or other hazard left in the walkway
- A broken or missing railing, broken handrail, or hazard on the stairs
Any fall can lead to back injuries, depending on how far you fall, how you land, any previous injuries or conditions, and other factors. According to Mayo Clinic, a back injury may result in any of the following symptoms, either as an immediate symptom of an injury or as a lasting sign of the damage done:
- Intense pressure or pain near the injury site
- Stinging pain or other intense nerve-related sensations
- Loss of movement below the injury
- Change in sensation or loss of sensation
- Issues with bowel and bladder control
- Painful spasms
- Changes in sexual functioning
- Difficulty breathing
Paying for the care and support necessary following a back injury is difficult, even when you expect a full physical recovery. We understand the need to pursue a payout in your case, and we believe you should not have to assume the financial burden of the injuries you suffered as a result of someone else’s negligence.
