A fall is never “just” a fall

People brush off slip and falls as clumsiness until the injuries turn out to be serious. A broken hip, a torn shoulder, or a head injury can change your daily life for months. Too often the property owner and their insurer are quick to blame you and slow to take responsibility. You have the right to push back, and in Land O’ Lakes, Merricks Law Group is right here at home to help you do it.

We see you, not a file number

To a big insurer your fall is a claim to minimize. To us it is a real injury that happened because someone did not keep their property safe. That difference shapes how we handle your case: experienced attorneys who give you straight answers, return your calls, and fight for what you are actually owed.

How we help after a Land O’ Lakes fall

Falls happen where property owners cut corners: spills at the shopping centers along Collier Parkway, uneven pavement in parking lots, broken stairs, and poorly lit walkways. Winning a claim in Florida generally comes down to showing the owner knew, or should have known, about the hazard and failed to fix it or warn you. That takes evidence, records, and knowledge of Florida’s premises-liability rules, and that is the part we handle for you.

Frequently asked questions

Do I really have a case if I fell in a store? Possibly. It generally comes down to whether an unsafe condition caused your fall and whether the owner knew, or should have known, about it. A free consultation is the easiest way to find out.

What if the store already cleaned up the hazard? That is exactly why photos, the incident report, and witnesses matter. An attorney can also seek maintenance records and surveillance footage.

How much does a slip and fall lawyer cost? Nothing up front. We work on contingency, so there are no fees or costs unless we win. Your consultation is free.
