Types of Slip & Fall Accidents in Inverness, FL
Many people may chalk up a slip and fall to their own clumsiness, but often property owners are to blame. If a property owner was aware of a problem and didn't fix it, resulting in your injury, they can be held responsible. Common reasons why people slip and fall include:
- Uneven floor or walkway surfaces
- Poor stair design or broken steps
- Wet or slippery floors
- Inadequate lighting
- Torn carpeting
- Icy walkways
- Obstacles in walkways
- Unsecured wires and cords
- Building/construction code violations
Unfortunately, many property owners won’t admit responsibility and may try to convince you the accident was your fault when that's simply not the case.
If you've been involved in a slip and fall accident in Inverness due to any of these conditions, we can often help!
Who's At Fault?
Put Our Inverness Slip & Fall Accident Injury Lawyers On the Case!
To win a slip and fall case, you must show another party breached their duty of care, which means they failed to maintain “the measures that a reasonable person would take to reduce the risk of harm.” That means a property owner must have either been aware of the hazard and failed to fix it or should have been aware of the hazard and had a proper inspection been performed.
Unfortunately, who’s at fault in a slip and fall isn’t always clear, and property owners and their insurance companies usually won’t accept legal responsibility unless the liability is obvious; instead, they'll argue it was your fault or that your injuries aren’t as bad as you claim.

What Our Clients Say About Lowman Law Firm’s Inverness Personal Injury Attorneys
Dealing with insurance companies is not a pleasant experience and I wanted a professional on my side. I met with Joe Lowman who explained the process to me and put me at ease with me realizing that I had a competent, capable and experienced team fighting for me. They navigated through getting my car fixed and countless medical appointments and kept me informed as things progressed. Joe Hill was awesome at taking the facts, communicating with the doctors offices and insurance companies and getting the best outcome possible. The outcome was greater than I thought was possible. This would not have been possible without the awesome work, skills and professionalism of Joe Hill. He is great and I will always recommend Lowman Law Firm. You guys are fantastic!
