Florida Wellness in Tampa cares about you
Why is immediate medical attention so important?
Your body needs prompt medical attention for better healing. Not all injuries are visible or felt at the moment of the accident, which makes it critical to have a doctor examine you as soon as possible. Some injuries appear days after the incident, and you may experience pain that limits your normal activities. Seeing a doctor ensures your injuries are looked after appropriately and documented accurately.
Accurate documentation is important to make your case in court. At Florida Wellness in Tampa, we go beyond caring for your physical injuries: we keep a file of your medical records and coordinate with your lawyer to help make your case for compensation. You deserve to be compensated and your medical bills paid if someone else's negligence caused your injuries.

What matters next
What qualifies as a slip and fall claim?
It is the responsibility of business owners, landlords, and property owners to provide a safe premise. Slip and fall falls under the broader term “premises liability”: a property should be kept in reasonably safe conditions, so if someone is hurt because of a lack of safety, the owner may be held responsible. Falling and getting injured on someone else's property, with proof of negligence, may qualify for a slip and fall claim.
These accidents are difficult to prove because there are many variables to consider before the owner is held liable. Factors such as a person's age, the type of shoes or clothing worn, and how long a hazard was left on the floor are all weighed. This is why it is important to document the incident as it happened, when it happened.
What do you need to make a case in court?
- Pictures of the scene
- Witnesses
- Reports from police, store, or landlord
- Medical records
Having all these types of documentation not only helps build your legal case, it also helps your doctor get a complete picture of what happened and the injuries you received, so we can determine the right treatments for you.
