What is a Slip and Fall Case in Florida?

Table of Contents

When someone slips or falls on another’s property due to hazardous conditions, it is called a “slip-and-fall”. For a slip-and-fall accident to qualify, there are certain conditions that must be met.

Accidents must occur on another person’s property. This could be a private residence, business, or public place.
It is not enough that the property owner or occupier has neglected to maintain or warn visitors about potential hazards.
Slip and fall accidents must have caused some kind of injury. For example, a head injury, a broken bone, or a sprain.

If the conditions are met, an injured party can file a claim for personal injury against the owner or occupier of the property to recover compensation. Our Florida attorneys will investigate the slip-and-fall accident by reviewing documents such as incident reports and medical records.

Identification of the Liable Party

Most often, the owner or occupier of the property is responsible for an accident. They have a legal obligation to provide a safe environment for visitors. Liability can extend to third parties such as architects, contractors, or maintenance companies if they were responsible for creating or maintaining the hazardous conditions that led to the accident.
