Florida Nail Salon Injury Lawyers Protect Clients Harmed by Negligent Manicure and Pedicure Services

A manicure or pedicure should be relaxing. It is not an experience that should be painful, dangerous, or life-altering. Unfortunately, nail salon injuries happen far more often than most people realize. When salons fail to follow basic safety, sanitation, and licensing requirements, customers can suffer serious infections, chemical burns, cuts, and slip-and-fall injuries.
At RTRLAW, our Florida personal injury attorneys represent individuals who were injured due to nail salon negligence, as well as nail technicians hurt on the job. When a salon puts profits over safety, we step in to hold them accountable and pursue the full compensation victims deserve.
Common Nail Salon Injuries in Florida
Nail salon injuries range from minor irritations to severe, life-threatening medical conditions. Many of these injuries are preventable and occur because salons fail to properly clean tools, train staff, or comply with Florida health regulations.
Common injuries include:
- Bacterial and fungal infections (including staph and MRSA)
- Cuts, puncture wounds, and bleeding nails
- Chemical burns and skin irritation
- Allergic reactions to nail products or adhesives
- Burns from hot wax, hot water, or equipment
- Slip and fall accidents on wet or cluttered floors
- Nerve damage or permanent nail loss
- Severe infections requiring surgery or amputation
Some conditions resolve with basic treatment, but others require hospitalization, long-term medication, surgery, or ongoing medical care, resulting in thousands of dollars in medical expenses and lost income.
When is a Nail Salon Liable for Customer Injuries?
Florida nail salons owe customers a duty of care to provide services in a safe and sanitary environment. A salon may be legally responsible for your injuries if it acted negligently by:
- Failing to properly sterilize tools and equipment
- Reusing files, buffers, or instruments without sanitation
- Using expired or unsafe chemical products
- Allowing unlicensed or inadequately trained technicians to perform services
- Failing to follow Florida health department regulations
- Ignoring known hazards like wet floors or unsafe workstations
If a salon’s negligence caused your injury, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term health effects. RTRLAW investigates salon practices, licensing compliance, inspection records, and prior complaints to build strong premises and negligence cases.
How Much Compensation Can You Recover After a Nail Salon Injury?
Compensation depends on the severity of the injury and its impact on your life, but may include:
- Emergency and follow-up medical care
- Prescription medications and specialist treatment
- Surgery or hospitalization
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent scarring or disfigurement
- Reduced quality of life
- Future medical care and ongoing treatment costs
Large salons and chains often carry insurance, but insurers frequently attempt to minimize or deny claims. RTRLAW’s attorneys know how to counter these tactics and pursue maximum recovery.
Nail Salon Employees Injured at Work Have Rights Too
Customers are not the only people at risk. Nail technicians and salon employees are regularly exposed to:
- Toxic fumes and chemical vapors
- Repetitive motion injuries
- Slips, cuts, and burns
- Unsafe ventilation systems
- Poor workplace ergonomics
In Florida, most employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance. If you were injured while working in a nail salon, you may be entitled to medical benefits, wage replacement, and disability compensation through workers’ comp.
RTRLAW also represents salon employees whose injuries involve:
- Third-party negligence
- Defective products
- Employers who failed to carry required insurance
We help injured workers understand their rights and pursue every available source of compensation.
