Florida Trip and Fall Injuries: What to Watch For and When to Seek Help

Not every injury from a trip and fall is obvious right away. You might feel fine in the moment, only to wake up later with pain, swelling, or limited movement. Knowing what to watch for can help you get timely care and protect your legal rights.

Common Trip and Fall Injuries
