Slip and Fall Accidents in Florida: Who’s Liable?

A slip and fall accident may seem minor at first, but serious injuries can develop over time, leading to costly medical bills, lost wages, and long-term pain. Property owners, business operators, and landlords have a legal responsibility to keep their premises safe—when they fail to do so, they can be held liable for injuries caused by hazardous conditions.

🚶‍♂️ Slips, trips, and falls are among the leading causes of personal injury claims in Florida.
🏬 Property owners can be held financially responsible for injuries caused by unsafe conditions.
💰 Victims may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain & suffering.

If you or a loved one was injured in a slip and fall accident, the experienced Florida premises liability attorneys at Robes Law Group, PLLC can help you pursue the compensation you deserve.

Slip and fall accidents happen due to hazardous conditions that property owners fail to correct or warn about, including:

✔ Wet or Slippery Floors – Unmarked spills or recently mopped floors create dangerous walking conditions.
✔ Weak or Broken Stairs & Railings – Structural hazards increase the risk of falls.
✔ Uneven or Cracked Sidewalks – Poorly maintained walkways lead to serious trip hazards.
✔ Poor Lighting or Burnt-Out Bulbs – Reducing visibility and making obstacles hard to see.
✔ Objects in Walkways or Falling Items – Cluttered aisles, misplaced merchandise, or falling shelves cause injury.
✔ Potholes & Dangerous Parking Lots – Uneven pavement and hidden holes create trip-and-fall hazards.

If a property owner knew about a hazard and failed to fix it, they can be held legally responsible for your injuries.

Slip and fall accidents can occur anywhere, but some of the most common locations include:

🏬 Supermarkets & Grocery Stores – Unmarked spills, slippery floors, and obstructed aisles.
🏢 Office Buildings & Workplaces – Poor lighting, unsafe stairwells, and broken flooring.

🛍 Shopping Malls & Retail Stores – Unsecured shelving, falling merchandise, or unmarked hazards.
