Cases We Handle

We handle all types of slip and fall accident cases at marinas across Florida. Whether you fell on land, on a dock or into the water, we are prepared to fight for the financial compensation you deserve. Some examples of the types of cases our lawyers handle include:

• Slips and Falls on Docks and Fingers – From rainwater to seawater to slippery ropes and lines, various issues can lead to slip and fall accidents on marina docks and fingers. Like all businesses in Florida, marinas have a legal duty to ensure the safety of their premises, and this means that they can be held fully liable for accidents on their docks and fingers in many cases.
• Slips and Falls on Boat Decks – Boat decks can be dangerously slippery as well. Teak, cork, fiberglass and other common boat decking materials can all be extremely slippery when wet. In addition to handling premises liability claims, we also handle boat accident claims, and we can help you seek just compensation regardless of who (or what company) is responsible for your injuries.
  Slips and Falls in Marina Parking Lots – We also handle slip and fall cases involving accidents in marina parking lots. When you are visiting a marina, slip hazards in the parking lot may be among the least of your worries. But, these hazards are common as well, and they can (and frequently do) lead to sudden and unexpected falls that result in serious traumatic injuries.
• Slips and Falls at Marina Restaurants and Shops – Marina restaurants and shops have a duty to ensure the safety of their premises as well. Puddles, spills, recently cleaned floors and other slip hazards can all cause accidents that leave unexpecting victims facing significant (and, in some cases, long-term) losses. Regardless of the severity of your injuries, you are entitled to full compensation for your present and future losses if a marina restaurant or shop is to blame.
• Slips and Falls into the Water – A Florida slip and fall lawyer at Searcy Denney can also represent you if you slipped and fell into the water. For obvious reasons, these accidents can be extremely dangerous, and recovering after a fall into the water can be a long, difficult and expensive process. We handle cases involving physical injuries suffered during falls into the water, concussions, near-drowning injuries and all other forms of trauma.

Again, these are just examples. From negligence claims against charter companies to product liability claims against boat manufacturers, we handle all other types of slip and fall accident claims as well. No matter what happened, we can help—but it is important that you contact us as soon as possible.

Proving the Cause of a Slip and Fall Accident at a Marina

Contacting a Florida premises liability lawyer promptly is important because you need to be able to prove the cause of your slip and fall accident at the marina. Without proof of what happened and who (or what company) is to blame, you won’t be able to recover the financial compensation you deserve. Once you contact us, we will be able to launch an investigation right away, and we will be able to work quickly to preserve as much evidence as possible.

• Some examples of the types of evidence that we may be able to collect to prove the cause of your slip and fall accident include:
• Forensic evidence from the location where you slipped and fell (i.e., proof that the walking surface was slippery or had been inadequately maintained)
• Surveillance camera footage from the marina or a marina store or restaurant
• Statements from marina employees about known safety risks or maintenance issues
• Eyewitness testimony
• Photos and videos taken by eyewitnesses (including photos and videos posted on social media)

Proving the Financial and Non-Financial Losses You Are Entitled to Recover

Along with proving the cause of your slip and fall accident, filing a successful premises liability claim also involves proving the financial and non-financial losses you are entitled to recover. Injuries from slip and fall accidents can get very expensive, and serious injuries can impact your life in ways that you could not previously have imagined.

A Florida slip and fall lawyer at Searcy Denney can assist with gathering the evidence needed to prove your losses as well. In a typical case, this will include:

• Your medical records from after the accident (including scans, test results and your doctor’s notes about your injuries, diagnosis and treatment needs)
• Your employment records if you have missed time from work
• Your receipts for prescription medications, medical supplies and other out-of-pocket expenses
• Documentation of your pain and suffering
• Documentation of the other ways your injuries have impacted (and are continuing to impact) your life
