Slip and falls in Gainesville happen everywhere — at grocery stores along Archer Road, in restaurant entryways, in parking lots, and at hotels and apartments across Alachua County. If you fell because a property owner failed to clean up a spill, fix a leaky cooler, or warn about a wet floor, you may have a premises liability claim worth real money. Treatment at UF Health Shands or HCA Florida North Florida Hospital for a fractured hip or torn rotator cuff can run into six figures.
As a Gainesville-area slip and fall attorney serving Alachua County, Zach West knows how to preserve the evidence — surveillance video, incident reports, employee statements — that property owners and their insurers try to lose or “misplace.” Every slip and fall case is unique, and Zach personally takes the time to understand how the fall has affected your life and pursue every dollar of compensation you’re owed under Florida law.

Slip and Fall Cases We Handle
Slip and fall cases are about proving the property owner knew (or should have known) about the hazard. West Law Firm builds those cases across Gainesville, Florida.
Wet or Freshly Mopped Floors
Without warning signs, a wet floor in a store, restaurant, or office is a classic premises liability case.
Spilled Food or Drinks
Common in grocery stores and restaurants. The key question is how long the spill was there before someone slipped.
Tracked-In Water from Rain
Entryways without mats during Florida rainstorms are a frequent source of falls.
Pool Decks & Slick Surfaces
Hotel pool decks and water-park surfaces have specific safety standards that owners often ignore.
Slippery Parking Lots
Oil spills, painted lines, and poorly maintained surfaces in parking lots cause serious falls.
Uncleaned Spills in Restrooms
A frequent overlooked source of falls — restroom flooring with no proper drainage or signage.
