West Palm Beach, FL Beachside Slip and Fall: When Fun in the Sun Turns Not So Fun

A West Palm Beach, FL beachside slip and fall can have devastating consequences – whether you slipped on a slick floor at a public bathroom and suffered a concussion, or you hurt yourself at a concession stand. What are some common ways people hurt themselves in South Florida, and what are typical consequences of these accidents?

Examples of West Palm Beach, FL Beach Slip and Fall Accidents
  • A tropical storm floods a beach arcade with slick oil (possibly from the roads). An unsuspecting senior goes out after the storm to check out the beautifully churning waves. She steps on the surprisingly slick arcade, slips, and breaks her hip during the fall.

  • A group of teenagers out for a raucous Saturday afternoon heads to a beachside concession stand to enjoy ice cream sundaes, french fries, and other foods which are not necessarily good for them but certainly taste good. Unfortunately, a restaurant worker at the food stand failed to mop up a spill from a dripping soda machine. A 19-year-old girl slips and hits her head hard on the tile. She is rushed to the hospital with a concussion.

What to Do After a Beachside Slip and Fall Accident?
Step one, obviously, is to get immediate medical help. If possible, collect evidence from the scene, including photographs of where you slipped and fell and documentation of what employees said about the conditions such as, “I really should have mopped up that spill earlier.”
