Injured in a Slip or Trip in Miami? You May Have a Case
Under Florida premises liability law, you may be entitled to compensation if a property owner or business was negligent and that negligence caused your fall. But these cases are won or lost on a key question: did the owner know—or should they have known—about the danger?
Proving the Property Owner Was Negligent
Property owners and businesses have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe and to warn visitors of hidden hazards. To hold them responsible, we must generally show that the owner had actual or constructive knowledge of the dangerous condition—meaning they either knew about it, or it existed long enough that they should have discovered and fixed it. For falls involving a spill or other “transitory foreign substance” in a business, Florida Statute §768.0755 specifically requires proof of that knowledge. We gather surveillance footage, maintenance and inspection logs, incident reports, and witness statements to build that proof before it disappears.
Florida’s Comparative Negligence Rule
Property owners and their insurers love to blame the victim—claiming you weren’t watching where you were going. Florida follows modified comparative negligence: if you’re found more than 50% at fault, you recover nothing; otherwise, your compensation is reduced by your share of fault. Having an experienced attorney is the best way to protect yourself from these blame-shifting tactics. Keep in mind you generally have only two years from the date of your fall to file a claim.
We help you recover damages for:
- Emergency room and medical bills
- Physical therapy and follow-up treatment
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Long-term disability or chronic pain
- Pain and suffering
Our attorneys know how to investigate these cases and deal with insurers who try to shift the blame. We’ll make sure your voice is heard.
