QUESTION
My 8yr old daugther slipped on a wet floor and suffered a cervical strain.
Asked on Jun 24th, 2014 on Slip and Fall - Florida
More details to this question:
I have called the business owner 3 times and have not gotten a response. NOTHING was done when the incident happened. No accident report, no "I'm sorry" - nothing. The floor was wet and there was a wet floor sign but it was about 6 feet from the actual area, on a dry section of floor, under a counter and not clearly visible. All I would like is to be reimbursed for the $200 x-ray cost.

From a practical legal perspective, this is simply not a viable case. You should always ask them to see if they will reimburse, but if they won't, that is typically the end of it. If you inist on pursuing it, as a "matter of principle", which is not a finanically practical decision, you will simply need to retain an attorney to handle the issue on a traditional hourly rate/retainer as opposed to a contingent fee.
