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 Hawthorne, 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.

Slip and Falls in Hawthorne & Alachua County
Local knowledge that matters when your case is filed in Alachua County.
Where Slip and Falls Happen
In and around Hawthorne, slip and falls most often happen at the places people visit every day — convenience stores and gas stations along US‑301, local shops and restaurants, parking lots, and public buildings — where wet floors, spills, poor lighting, or neglected maintenance create hazards the owner should have fixed.
Where You’ll Be Treated
Hawthorne does not have a hospital of its own, so people seriously injured here are typically transported about 20 miles to UF Health Shands Hospital or HCA Florida North Florida Hospital in Gainesville. We work directly with the billing departments, ER physicians, and lien holders at the Gainesville hospitals that treat most Alachua County patients.
Where Your Case Will Be Heard
Because Hawthorne is in Alachua County, these cases are filed in the Alachua County Courthouse — part of the Eighth Judicial Circuit — at 201 E University Avenue in Gainesville. Our office is just steps from the courthouse, and we are there regularly for our Alachua County cases.
Serving Hawthorne Slip and Fall Victims
Our office is in downtown Gainesville, a short drive up US‑301 from Hawthorne and minutes from the Alachua County Courthouse. We represent injury victims and families throughout Hawthorne and across North Central Florida.
