What to Do After a Slip and Fall Accident
Because a slip and fall accident on a dance floor can occur suddenly and without warning, it is important that you know how to react and what steps to take following your accident. Abiding by these important steps will assist in building a stronger legal claim as you consider your options. Those steps are as follows:
1. Seek Medical Treatment
Following a slip and fall accident on a dance floor, your first concern should be to monitor your health. Injuries from a slip and fall accident on a dance floor can range from minor bruises to serious or even life-threatening. If your injuries are severe, get to a medical facility as soon as you can.
Additionally, even if you do not think that your injuries require medical attention, it is still a good idea to visit a medical professional anyways. Numerous accidents result in lingering pain that can develop into severe health issues. By seeking proper medical aid as quickly as you can, you are giving yourself the best chance to properly recover from your accident.
2. Report the Dance Floor Accident
After attending to your health, the next step is to report the accident and your injuries to the owner of the premises or the host of the event you attended. Keep in mind that you should make a request for a written report. By creating a written record immediately after your accident, you are preserving an authentic recounting of how the accident took place and what injuries you suffered. Additionally, when providing details for the report, you should give as many details as you can regarding the circumstances of your accident.
By detailing what happened while the accident is still fresh in your mind, you are more likely to remember crucial details that will strengthen your claim compared to waiting several months after your accident to report what happened. Importantly, you should refrain from admitting to any fault in the accident or otherwise claiming something that could hurt your case as any statement may be used against you to lower the value of your claim or even eliminate the value entirely.
3. Document the Evidence
You will want to gather additional evidence to strengthen your slip and fall injury on a dance floor claim. If you are able to, document what you observe following the accident. Information you should collect includes:
● Pictures of your injuries
● A copy of the accident report
● Any available camera or surveillance footage of the dance floor
Furthermore, it is a good idea to take photos of the accident scene. Taking photos will help boost your claim’s credibility. Additionally, keep a record of all the medical expenses incurred, including any emergency care, medical evaluations, prescription pills, physical rehabilitation, and surgeries. This will help your slip and fall accident lawyer determine your case’s monetary value and likelihood of success.
4. Speak with a Slip and Fall Personal Injury Lawyer
Finally, after treating your injuries, reporting your accident, and documenting evidence, you should contact a slip and fall personal injury lawyer. A slip and fall personal injury attorney will listen to your side of the story, read through the documents you have gathered, and offer you their professional opinion on how strong your claim is. Additionally, a lawyer can obtain evidence to help your claim.
At Zinda Law Group, our slip and fall personal injury attorneys want to hear from you on how your accident happened. Our lawyers can properly walk you through the possible legal outcomes and compensation that you could receive.

I had the best experience with the Zinda law Group! Shivangi Was the the most professional and caring attorney anyone could ask for! She did everything in a timely matter and answered all the questions I could ever think of. Her paralegal, Danielle was always there for me throughout the entire process.

I had the privilege of working with Zinda Law Group recently and was thoroughly impressed with the level of service and support they provided.

These attorneys worked very hard and efficiently to bring the justice that they saw fit. When I had a question they explained in terms I understood and not above and beyond me. I appreciate it when people can come down to my level and not intimidate and use trepidation on someone in feeling like they are the fly while they're the spider waiting for the right moment for the fly to walk into its web.Neil and Shivangi always whenever they called asked me how I was at the beginning of our conversations and is there anything I needed at the end of each call. Each call they made to me, was made very professional, personable and felt heart felt as if you were part of the family.

They always wanted to make sure I understood everything before the next item we needed to talk about.

Thank you Michael and everyone that helped with my case, yall are the best!! My attorney was Christina , she and her team gave me the best outcome for my case .I am giving an honesty review at first I was very upset because I kept getting moved around and I never knew who I was talking to because they switch attorneys and kept changing my paralegals.. I was going to go with another law firm but Christina helped me with my case from then on out and she worked around my schedule to talk to me which I appreciate. Also my last law firm took 30 percent, and this one took 33 percent which I wasn’t to happy so just a heads up. Overall I rate this 4 stars cause I’m just happy the case is over with and I get to go back to my life.Update: I just received another call from my attorney and they have worked to negotiate my case with the billing and have put more money in my pocket. All the money that I had spent while working on the case has came back to me. I can fully move on and say that I have gain every penny that was lose during those hard times.

I highly recommend Zinda Law Group for your next case and for any of your future cases. 5 Stars across the board thank you so much for everything! Joh Harper, Priyonka Bhikha, and the rest of the team gave my case a quick and satisfactory conclusion. The attorney, Mr. Harper did an absolutely amazing job keeping me on the same page as far as the case goes. Honestly, if anybody is hurt in a car wreck or another personal injury case, I WILL STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU SPEAK TO THEM. I was in a motor vehicle collision about two years ago. From the minute I picked up the phone to speak with a representative to the case finally settling, it was a great experience. I worked with Burgess Williams and his team (Kathy, Ryan, and Linda) throughout the process. They were all very professional and helpful when I needed them the most. Great Firm. I was in motorcycle accident- T-boned at a full stop with my daughter riding on back. Zinda's team was instantly responsive. Christina was very compassionate, organized and scheduled time before every legal event to discuss goals and overview. The process was 2 years but during that time the lawyers and staff (John and Shane were also great) were always available and understanding. The team is focused on doing what is right and by the book. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone who is suffering from a motorcycle accident. Jason Aldridge and his paralegal Mara did an absolutely amazing job on my case. They were very responsive to all emails, calls and even texts. They treated me with dignity and respect from start to finish. I never once felt like my case was at the back of the list or anything. Not only did they explain and walked me through everything, they got me the help I needed and a final outcome over what I had expected. I would highly recommend this law firm, Jason and Mara to anyone seeking legal assistance. Highly Recommended-100% Satisfied!.From the initial phone call I felt confident I chose the right firm. They explained the process and I was always in the loop, even when we were at a stand still. Very grateful I was quickly referred to them by a friend who had a similar case. Both of us are happy with the end result. Thank you! My team of lawyer were very professional and communicated extremely clearly. They kept me updated on their status and did not make me worry at all about my situation. They explained everything to me very well and put things into simple terms for my understanding. I am very satisfied with their performance. I would recommend them to anyone that's been involved in an accident and feels skeptical in engaging an attorney.When one gets into an accident, you're traumatized, confused, angry and helpless.That was me last year, getting all kinds of advice becomes your next norm, to use or not to use an attorney.I was in so much pain from my injuries but at the same time knew I had to act fast.I called Zinda Law Group for consultation, they took my case seriously and treated me with respect, they were very professional and understanding.Elizabeth, kudos to you, you're true to your word, Integrity should be your last name.Jason Aldridge my attorney went to work immediately, he assured me that all be well and I should concentrate on my healing and he will do the rest. Thank your Sir, You did just that.His team, Mara, Zuleyma and Andrew, they all become my support system, so professional and lots of respect in each and everyphone call or email. Thank you guys.I would recommend anyone to use Zinda Law Group. I honestly loved not dealing with the hospital bills while I was recuperating. It gave me peace of mind going through this process and Zinda took care of everything. They found awesome health providers for me and haven't had to worry about anything while they've been taking my case. I've been well informed, communicated with, responded to and understood by Zinda. They have been efficient and effective while working on my case and I'm so glad I choose to go with this law firm. When I was injured in a car accident in March of 2020 the insurance companies were not concerned with my well being. I called Zinda Law group & spoke with Reagan, who went over my concerns & later had Jono contact me. After reviewing my information with Jono my case was immediately put in motion. I worked mainly with Sam Thomas who truly was a blessing to me, he was very supportive & genuinely concerned with my well being, everything wasn't simply about the case it was about me being healed & getting the proper treatment that I needed. Sam was also emotionally supportive when I went through several losses in my family & is a great friend. In all everyone was extremely supportive & all worked for me which was quite a different legal experience for me from Law groups in my past. I was well supported, always informed, treated with respect & made the priority in all decisions. Zinda Law Group made sure I was compensated completely & that I didn't have financial stresses over hospital bills after all was said & done. Sam, Katrina, Mary Catherine, Reagan & Jono I just want to thank you & all of Zinda for the incredible experience & the wonderful caring people that you all are, you are truly Golden in your field. I am so glad I got in touch with Zinda! My car accident occurred just 4 days prior to moving, during the busiest week of the year at my job, and just a week before the quarantine was declared a new reality for all of us. Everyone at Zinda remained persistent, supportive, and most of all advocated for me throughout such a chaotic time. I’ll always be grateful for the care they took to make sure my health and well-being were taken care of. So super grateful to know that a split second mistake someone else made doesn’t have to dictate my life. Thanks! My experience with Zinda Law Group was better than expected. After an accident that totalled my car, I reached out and was paired with a wonderful attorney. She communicated frequently and responded to my calls and texts in a timely manner. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and answered all of my questions. I was kept in the loop during every step of the process. I would call Zinda Law if I ever need this type of support again. I had an excellent experience working with the attorneys at Zinda Law Group! They were knowledgeable, professional and patient. They walked me through every step of the long process of getting treatment after my car wreck and kept me updated with timeframes and next steps. I would absolutely recommend anyone working with them! I was referred here by a family member. Our lawyer jason and his team did and amazing job. They kept me updated in everything made sure I understood what was going on. My son was hit by a van in the hospital jason came right over. He's awesome so much down to earth straight forward. I would recommend him and his firm to everyone and I have thank you zinda but most of all thank you Jason for being there for us for being a friend Zinda Law Group was recommended to me from another satisfied client and I certainly received excellent service. The attorneys and staff are very proactive with communication and I knew every step of the way what was happening on my case. I never felt pressured with decision making and they went above & beyond to answer questions with satifactory explanations. This is a very professional group of attorneys & support staff. In addition, they were willing to meet me at a location more convenient for me. I appreciated their concern for my time. Could not speak highly enough of the firm. I was involved in my first accident and thankfully had Zinda Law Group supporting me through the scary time. Jono took care of me every step of the way. He made me feel like I was a priority through the entire process. A big thank you to Jono and the rest of the Zinda crew! ‹

How Does a Slip and Fall Dance Floor Case Work?
It is important to be aware that just because you suffered an injury after a slip and fall on a dance floor, that does not automatically entitle you to compensation. Instead, the burden is on you to demonstrate that the injuries suffered as a result of the slip and fall were because of the actions, or inactions, of the responsible party.
What Are the Elements?
The elements of a slip and fall accident on a dance floor claim are as follows:
1. The Responsible Party Owed You a Duty of Care
The first element that you must prove is that the party responsible for the dance floor had an obligation to use reasonable care in keeping the dance floor safe, monitoring for debris or other hazards, and alerting people on the dance floor to any potential dangers.
2. The Responsible Party Breached the Duty of Care
The second element you must prove is that the party responsible for the dance floor failed to use reasonable care and therefore did not maintain the dance floor’s safety. This is known as negligence. An example of negligence would be if the responsible party failed to clean up a wet spot on the dance floor or failed to place a wet floor sign near the wet spot which would have otherwise alerted guests to avoid that particular area.
3. The Responsible Party’s Breach Caused Your Accident
The third element you must prove is that the responsible party’s negligence were the direct cause of your slip and fall injuries. For example, if the responsible party was aware of a wet floor spot on the dance floor and did not verbally warn patrons or at least place a wet floor sign on the floor, you can demonstrate a direct causation between the responsible party’s actions and your accident.
4. You Suffered Damages as a Result of the Accident
The final element you must prove is that you suffered damages as a result of your slip and fall on the dance floor accident. One way to prove damages is to provide receipts of any medical treatment you received as a result of your accident.
What Is the Standard of Care for Someone Who Owns a Dance Floor or Hosts an Event?
The law requires that an owner of a premise or host of an event must exercise a duty of reasonable care to people who are on the property. Importantly, the exact level of reasonable care that an owner must exercise varies depending on whether the person on the premises is a licensee, invitee, or trespasser.
First, a licensee is a person that is on the property without an invite, but with the owner’s permission. An example of this would be any guests at a dance club who are friends or family members of the owner of the dance floor. Typically, the standard of care of the owner or host is to warn of any dangers on the property that the owner or host knows of but is not known to the licensee.
Next, an invitee is a person who was offered, expressly or implicitly, an invitation onto the property. The invitation could be for a hosted event such as a dance competition or a party for a charitable organization. Typically, the law requires that the owner or host displays the highest duty of care to an invitee. Unlike for a licensee, the owner or host must go out of their way to fully inspect the dance floor and the entire premises to ensure that it is safe for an invitee.
Lastly, a trespasser is a person who entered the premises without the owner or host’s permission. While there is still a duty to not actively cause the trespasser harm, the owner or host does not have to maintain the dance floor or the rest of the premises in a reasonably safe condition or alert the trespasser to any known or unknown dangers on the dance floor.
Who Can Be Sued?
Usually, slip and fall on a dance floor victims can pursue a legal claim against the owner of the establishment, the host of an event at the establishment, or even the cleaning company if they are responsible for the floor being in a dangerous condition.
Owner
If you are a known guest at an owner’s establishment and either the owner directly, or someone acting on their behalf such as a manager or other employee, failed to keep the dance floor safe, you may be able to bring a claim against the owner for negligence.
Host
Similar to an owner’s liability, if a host of an event did not adequately protect you from dangers related to the dance floor, such as failing to clean up broken glass or other debris, you may be able to bring a claim against them for failing to exercise a reasonable duty of care.
Cleaning Company
Additionally, if a cleaning company failed to adequately clean up a spill from the dance floor and your accident was caused as a result of that failure, you might be able to bring a claim against the cleaning company.
Importantly, because there are potentially multiple responsible parties for your slip and fall on a dance floor accident, you should contact a slip and fall personal injury lawyer to help determine who you may have a valid claim against and what that claim may be worth.

What Damages Can Be Recovered?
When bringing a claim for a slip and fall accident on a dance floor, a victim may be able to receive compensation for any harm suffered as a result of the accident. This concept is referred to as damages. The damages that a slip and fall accident victim may receive can be divided into two separate categories: Economic Damages and Non-economic Damages.
Economic Damages
Economic damages are quantifiable losses that are usually easy to calculate. The primary forms of economic damages involved in slip and fall accidents on dance floors are:
● Medical bills (past, present, and future)
● Lost income (present and future)
● Loss of earning capacity
● Physical therapy
Non-economic Damages
Non-economic damages are intangible losses that are tougher to calculate. Although they are difficult to put a monetary figure on, non-economic damages play an important role in properly compensating a slip and fall accident victim. That’s because, in addition to physical costs and damages, there is often emotional trauma that a victim experiences as a result of their accident.
This emotional anguish suffered by a victim should not be cast aside, but rather adequately compensated so that the victim may be made whole again. Common examples of non-economic damages involved in slip and fall accidents on dance floors are:
● Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
● Emotional Distress
● Pain and Suffering
At Zinda Law Group, our experienced slip and fall accident lawyers take solace in their ability to help clients secure the compensation that they deserve. Our lawyers have an extensive background in handling multiple types of slip and fall accidents on a dance floor and have assisted numerous individuals file claims and pursue the maximum compensation available.
What Is the Statute of Limitations in a Slip and Fall Case?
Every state has its own statute of limitations for personal injury claims. This means that you may only have a certain amount of time to file a lawsuit against the party you believe is responsible for your accident. For example, the state of New Mexico has a three-year statute of limitations for a personal injury claim while states such as Arizona, Colorado, and Texas have a two year statute of limitation for a personal injury claim.
Importantly, if the statute of limitations for your state has expired, you will not have the option to bring a claim even if there is clear and irrefutable evidence that another party is responsible for your accident. Therefore, it is strongly advisable to speak with a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to get a full and complete understanding of the applicable statute of limitations to your claim.
Why Hire Zinda Law Group?
While some victims of a slip and fall accident on a dance floor are able to get back up without any injuries, many are not so lucky. Unfortunately, the pain you feel from a slip and fall accident on a dance floor may be matched by the pain you feel financially as you pay for medical treatments, lose out on wages, and go through emotional trauma. In fact, it is understandable to feel overwhelmed with everything that is going on around you.
Fortunately, Zinda Law Group can provide you with competent and compassionate legal representation. For a 100% free case evaluation, call us today at (888) 560-4726 to speak with a slip and fall personal injury lawyer. You will pay nothing unless we win your case. That’s our No Win, No Fee Guarantee.
