Slip & Fall Lawyer Florida
Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises safe. When they fail and you are injured, we hold them accountable.
Florida Premises Liability Attorneys
Slip and fall accidents can cause serious injuries including broken bones, head trauma, spinal cord injuries, and more. If you were injured on someone else's property due to a dangerous condition, you may be entitled to significant compensation.
Florida premises liability law requires property owners to maintain safe conditions for visitors. When they fail to fix hazards like wet floors, uneven surfaces, poor lighting, or broken stairs, they can be held legally responsible for your injuries.
Our attorneys have recovered hundreds of thousands of dollars for slip and fall victims, including a $225,000 settlement for a slip and fall at a mall and a $210,000 settlement at a supermarket.
Time is critical in these cases — evidence disappears quickly. Call us immediately after your accident.

Florida's premises liability law places specific burdens on injured victims. Knowing these rules — and acting quickly — is critical to winning your case.
Statute of Limitations
Florida's 2023 tort reform reduced the statute of limitations for negligence claims to 2 years from the date of injury (§95.11(3)(a) as amended). Previously 4 years. Missing this deadline permanently bars your claim — do not wait.
The "Knew or Should Have Known" Standard
Under Florida Statute §768.0755, to recover in a slip and fall involving a transitory foreign substance (wet floor, spilled liquid), you must prove the business knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to act. Evidence of how long the hazard existed is critical — surveillance footage, incident reports, and witness statements must be preserved immediately.
Modified Comparative Fault
Florida's 2023 tort reform adopted a modified comparative fault rule. If you are found more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover. If 50% or less at fault, your recovery is reduced proportionally. Defense attorneys routinely argue the victim was not watching where they were going — an experienced attorney counters this effectively.
