Accidents While Traveling in Florida-Claims by Tourists or Residents

Accidents that occur either while residing, traveling or vacationing in Florida can lead to serious injuries. In addition to auto crashes, bicycle or motorcycle or scooter accidents and boating incidents, tourists’ and/or residents’ injuries can result from negligence arising from premises related as well as other causes:

  • Swimming pool accidents.
  • Amusement Park accidents.
  • Hotel/motel/Airbnb injuries.
  • Parasailing/parakiting/bungee jumping/hang gliding/skydiving injuries.
  • Festival and concert injuries.
  • Trade show and convention injuries.
  • Sexual assaults and other violent or criminal attacks as well as Negligent Security.

There are a few things that can and should be done, if able, immediately after an incident to preserve evidence and improve the possibility of recovering full financial compensation for losses sustained. These include, but are not limited to:

  • Seeking immediate medical attention(i.e., ambulance/rescue, hospital/urgent care, doctor).
  • Reporting the incident to local police and/or premises owner/operator/manager.
  • Documenting the scene with photos/videos and/or obtaining surveillance videos.
  • Collecting/gathering witness information (names, phone or cell numbers and addresses of people who saw the incident).
  • Contacting an Attorney and seeking legal representation.
