What qualifies as a slip and fall accident under Florida law?
A slip and fall accident occurs when you are injured on someone’s property due to a hazardous condition, like wet floors, uneven sidewalks, or poor lighting. Florida’s premises liability law holds property owners accountable if their negligence caused your injury.

How does Florida’s comparative negligence affect my slip and fall claim?
Florida’s comparative negligence rule means you can recover damages even if partially at fault (e.g., not noticing a warning sign). Your compensation is reduced by your fault percentage, so our attorneys work to minimize your liability.

Can I sue a business for a slip and fall in Florida?
Yes, businesses like grocery stores or restaurants can be sued if their negligence (e.g., ignoring spills) caused your fall. We investigate maintenance records and witness statements to prove liability, especially in high-traffic areas like Miami or Orlando.

What if I fell on public property in Florida?
Falls on public property, like city sidewalks or parks, may involve suing a government entity. Florida’s sovereign immunity laws impose strict notice deadlines (often 180 days), so contacting us promptly is critical to meet these requirements.

How do Florida’s weather conditions impact slip and fall claims?
Florida’s frequent rain and humidity create slippery surfaces, especially in places like Tampa or West Palm Beach. We assess whether property owners failed to address weather-related hazards, strengthening your claim.
