Miami Lakes, FL - October 23, 2025 - Slip-and-fall accidents can lead to more than just temporary discomfort—they can cause serious, life-altering injuries. This fall, Mario Serralta & Associates is launching a public awareness effort to educate Miami residents about the wide range of slip-and-fall injuries that may entitle victims to financial compensation under Florida law.
“Many people assume they can only take legal action if they suffer a catastrophic injury,” said Mario Serralta, founding attorney of the firm. “But even seemingly minor falls can lead to lasting damage, especially when caused by someone else’s negligence. If a property owner failed to keep their space safe, you have rights—and you may be entitled to compensation.”
The firm’s campaign comes at a time when Miami’s fall season brings more outdoor events, increased foot traffic in retail and residential spaces, and greater exposure to common hazards such as wet floors, broken sidewalks, and poor lighting.
Mario Serralta & Associates highlights several types of injuries that may qualify for compensation:
-
Fractures and broken bones — Particularly in the wrists, hips, or ankles, which are common during falls on hard surfaces.
-
Head injuries and concussions — Even a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) can result in long-term symptoms.
-
Back and spinal cord injuries — Herniated discs, sprains, or spinal fractures often require months of treatment.
-
Soft tissue injuries — Such as torn ligaments or muscle damage, which may not be visible but can limit mobility.
-
Knee and shoulder injuries — Including dislocations or ligament tears caused by sudden impact or twisting.
-
Chronic pain or complications — Especially in older adults, where a fall may trigger long-term decline or mobility loss.
Slip-and-fall victims may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation, and pain and suffering. But time is limited—Florida’s statute of limitations generally requires claims to be filed within two years of the accident.
To make the process more accessible, Mario Serralta & Associates offers free consultations and provides all services in both English and Spanish. The firm operates on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients pay nothing unless the firm successfully recovers compensation.
“If you’ve suffered a fall in a store, parking lot, or public place—even if you think your injury is minor—don’t wait to speak with a lawyer,” added Serralta. “Understanding the true impact of your injury and your legal options is the first step toward recovery.”
