Understanding Slip and Fall Accidents in Florida

Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents

Our firm has handled cases involving a wide range of dangerous conditions, including:
  • Wet or Slippery Floors – Spills in supermarkets, restaurants, or hotels without warning signs.
  • Uneven or Cracked Surfaces – Broken tiles, potholes, or damaged sidewalks.
  • Poor Lighting – Dim stairwells, parking lots, or corridors that conceal hazards.
  • Cluttered or Obstructed Walkways – Debris, cords, or misplaced items creating trip hazards.
  • Unsafe Stairs or Railings – Loose steps, missing handrails, or worn carpeting.
  • Weather-Related Hazards – Rain, leaks, or slippery outdoor surfaces not properly maintained.
  • Property owners and managers have a duty to inspect, repair, and warn visitors about dangerous conditions. Failing to do so can make them legally responsible for your injuries.

Common Locations Where Slip and Falls Occur

  • Grocery and retail stores (Publix, Walmart, Target, etc.)
  • Apartment complexes and rental properties
  • Parking lots and sidewalks
  • Restaurants, hotels, and resorts
  • Office buildings or workplaces
  • Nursing homes and assisted living facilities

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Slip and Fall Accident?

Depending on where and how the accident occurred, multiple parties may share responsibility:

Property owners or landlords
Property management companies
Maintenance contractors
Businesses or tenants occupying the premises
Government entities (for public property hazards)

Our team investigates every angle to ensure all liable parties are identified and held accountable.

Legal Framework and Responsibilities

Understanding Florida Slip and Fall Laws

Slip and fall cases in Florida are governed by premises liability law, which requires victims to prove that the property owner knew or should have known about the hazardous condition and failed to fix it.

Key Legal Principles:
  • Burden of Proof: The injured person must show the owner had actual or constructive knowledge of the hazard.
  • Comparative Negligence: You can still recover compensation even if partially at fault; your award is reduced by your percentage of fault.
  • Statute of Limitations: You have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a claim.
  • Recoverable Damages: Medical bills, rehabilitation, lost income, pain and suffering, and long-term disability.

Evidence We Use to Prove Your Case

How We Prove Fault in Your Case
Surveillance footage and maintenance records
Incident reports and witness statements
Photos of the hazard and injuries
Expert testimony from safety and medical professionals
Medical reports linking injuries to the fall

What is the legal process?

Our Step-by-Step Legal Process

Negotiation – Demand fair compensation from insurers and property owners.

From start to finish, Inserra Law Firm handles every detail so you can focus on healing.

How Insurance Companies Try to Avoid Paying

Insurers often attempt to:
  • Deny the property owner’s fault.
  • Argue you were careless or not paying attention.
  • Claim the hazard “just appeared.”
  • Offer low settlements before your injuries are fully understood.

Our attorneys anticipate these tactics and counter them with solid evidence and expert testimony, ensuring your claim reflects the true value of your damages.

Injuries After Slip and Fall Accidents

Common Slip and Fall Injuries

Slip and fall victims can suffer a range of serious injuries, including:
  • Fractures and broken bones (especially hips and wrists)
  • Head and brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord damage and herniated discs
