We May Be Able to Hold The Property Owner Accountable For Your Slip And Fall Injuries
A Wesley Chapel slip and fall injury attorney can help you protect your rights during this period. Distasio Law Firm may be able to build your case to prove negligence and liability in a slip and fall case. We can identify the potentially liable parties, whether the fall was caused by a property owner, occupier, or another party tasked with keeping the property safe.
To hold the responsible party liable for your related damages, we will need to show:
They (or someone acting on their behalf) knew about the hazard.
They should have known about the hazard.
If either of these is true, and they failed to take appropriate action to protect your health and wellbeing, the negligent party may be liable for your injuries.

The Time Limit on Your Wesley Chapel Fall Injury Case
Under Florida Statute § 95.11, there are limits to how long fall victims can wait to try to hold the property owner or occupier responsible by taking the case to court. This time period is typically two years. If you do not act before this deadline, you may lose your right to recover compensation.
