Florida Slip and Fall Law: What You Must Prove
Florida law does not automatically blame property owners for every fall.
To succeed, you must show that:
- A dangerous condition existed on the property
- The owner or manager knew — or should have known — about it
- The owner failed to correct or warn about the hazard
- The hazard directly caused your injuries
In many cases involving spills or tracked-in liquids, Florida requires proof of actual or constructive notice.
That is why surveillance video, inspection logs, and prior incident history matter.
Watch: Our Boca Raton slip and fall lawyer explains the difference between
slip and fall vs. trip and fall accidents and why it affects liability.
