Two years from the date of the accident under the 2023 Florida tort reform. Before that, the deadline was four years. Claims against government entities, like a fall on a City of Largo sidewalk, have even shorter notice requirements.

Fight Bad Faith Tactics From Largo Property Owners and Insurers
Big-box stores, apartment complexes, and hotels carry insurance built to lowball slip and fall claims. Adjusters train to minimize payouts and delay recovery. That is bad faith, and Florida law lets you fight back.
Common bad faith tactics we fight include:
- Denying a claim without a proper investigation or a valid legal reason.
- Offering a lowball settlement that won’t cover your medical bills.
- Taking months to approve or pay your claim (unreasonable delays).
- Using a biased adjuster who ignores obvious hazards in the video.
- Demanding excessive paperwork just to slow your case down.
Our Largo slip and fall attorneys hold property owners and insurers accountable for these practices.
Handling Denied or Lowballed Largo Slip and Fall Claims
Florida Statute 768.0755 puts the burden on you to prove the store knew about the hazard or should have known about it. Insurance adjusters use that rule to deny valid claims and blame you for the fall. They hope you will give up.
You have the right to challenge a store or property owner who:
- Claims the spill happened seconds before your fall with zero evidence to back it up.
- Blames your shoes, your phone, or a pre-existing injury for the fall.
- Destroys or conveniently loses surveillance video before you can see it.
- Pressures you to give a recorded statement within 24 hours of your injury.
We pull inspection logs, subpoena store video, hire forensic experts, and build cases that push insurers to pay fair value for your Largo injury.
Know Your Rights: Compensation for a Largo Slip and Fall
Florida law gives slip and fall victims the right to recover every dollar of harm a negligent property owner caused. When a store, landlord, or insurer refuses to pay fair value, you can sue to recover the full amount of your damages and often more. We help you seek every category you are entitled to.
This compensation can include:
- Medical Expenses: ER visits, surgery, physical therapy, prescriptions, and future medical care for ongoing injuries caused by the fall.
- Lost Wages and Earning Capacity: Every day of work you miss, plus the lifetime difference in earnings if your injury means you cannot return to your old job.
- Pain and Suffering: Florida caps nothing on pain and suffering in slip and fall cases. Pinellas juries return six-figure verdicts for serious back injuries, broken hips, and brain trauma.
- Loss of Enjoyment and Consortium: Compensation for the golf, walks, and hobbies you can no longer enjoy, plus your spouse’s claim for the impact on your marriage and household.
Our experienced Largo slip and fall lawyers evaluate your claim to make sure you receive the maximum possible recovery.

Maybe. You still have to prove the store knew or should have known about the spill. A missing warning sign helps your case, but it is not enough on its own. We look at how long the spill had been there, whether employees walked past it, and whether the store has a documented inspection policy.
Expect this. Every insurance adjuster opens with you were not watching where you were going. Florida’s modified comparative fault rule means they only win that argument if they convince a jury you were more than 50 percent at fault. That is a high bar when there is a real hazard involved.
Nothing up front. We work on contingency, which means our fee is a percentage of what we recover for you. If we don’t win, you pay nothing. We walk you through every number before you sign anything.
Straightforward cases with clear liability can settle in 4 to 8 months. Complicated cases, or cases where the insurance company denies everything, often take 12 to 24 months, and sometimes longer if we have to file suit and push toward trial.
