Legal Overview
Proving a Slip and Fall Case in Florida
Florida law requires property owners to maintain reasonably safe conditions for visitors. To win a slip and fall case, you must prove the owner knew (or should have known) about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn you. Under Florida’s comparative negligence system, your compensation may be reduced if you share some fault — but you can still recover damages even if you were partially responsible. Time is critical: evidence like surveillance footage can be erased quickly.
Wet Floors & Spills
Grocery stores, restaurants, and malls that fail to clean spills or post warning signs in a timely manner.
Uneven Surfaces & Broken Stairs
Cracked sidewalks, broken handrails, and uneven flooring that create hidden trip hazards.
Inadequate Lighting
Poorly lit stairwells, parking garages, and walkways that make hazards invisible until it's too late.
Weather-Related Hazards
Flooded entryways, slippery walkways after rain, and failure to place mats or barriers during storms.

Common Questions
Slip & Fall Questions
How do I prove the property owner was negligent?
You need to show the owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to fix it or warn visitors. Evidence includes surveillance footage, maintenance logs, prior complaint records, employee testimony, and photos of the condition.
What if I was partially at fault for my fall?
Florida follows a comparative negligence system. Even if you share some responsibility, you can still recover damages -- though your award may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
What compensation can I receive for a slip and fall?
You may be entitled to medical expenses (current and future), lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, and in some cases, punitive damages.
