Florida Slip and Fall Accident Attorney

Slip-and-fall and trip-and-fall accidents are among the most common premises liability cases, often leading to serious injuries. These accidents can happen anywhere—grocery stores, shopping malls, restaurants, office buildings, and private properties—and they can result in broken bones, head injuries, spinal cord damage, and other severe medical conditions. At Stone & Capobianco, our experienced personal injury attorneys are dedicated to helping victims of slip and fall accidents pursue the compensation they deserve.

Understanding Premises Liability in Florida

Under Florida law, property owners and businesses have a legal duty to maintain safe premises for visitors. This means ensuring that floors, walkways, staircases, elevators, escalators, and parking lots are well-maintained and free from hazardous conditions. When property owners fail to fix dangerous conditions or warn visitors of potential risks, they may be held legally responsible for injuries that occur as a result.

Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents

Many slip-and-fall accidents occur due to negligence by a property owner or business. Some of the most common hazards include:

✔ Wet or slippery floors – Spills, leaks, or recently mopped floors without proper warning signs
✔ Uneven surfaces – Cracked pavement, loose floor tiles, or torn carpets
✔ Poor lighting – Dimly lit stairwells or walkways making hazards hard to see
✔ Loose or broken handrails – Staircases without secure railings increase the risk of falls
✔ Obstructed walkways – Boxes, debris, or wires left in aisles and hallways
✔ Failure to remove hazards – Snow, ice, or rainwater buildup creating dangerous walking conditions

If any of these hazardous conditions contributed to your slip-and-fall injury, you may have grounds for a personal injury claim.

Who is Liable in a Slip and Fall Case?

In Florida, proving liability in a slip-and-fall accident can be complex. To hold a property owner or business accountable, you must show that:

✔ The owner knew or should have known about the hazardous condition
✔ The owner failed to take reasonable steps to fix or warn about the hazard
✔ The dangerous condition directly caused your injuries

At Stone & Capobianco, our experienced slip-and-fall attorneys will conduct a thorough investigation, gather evidence, and work with experts to build a strong case on your behalf.

Compensation for Slip and Fall Injuries

A serious slip and fall accident can result in medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term rehabilitation. Victims may be entitled to recover compensation for:

✔ Medical expenses – Hospital bills, surgeries, rehabilitation, and therapy
✔ Lost wages – Compensation for missed work and future lost earning potential
✔ Pain and suffering – Emotional distress, physical pain, and loss of quality of life
✔ Disability and long-term care – Costs associated with permanent injuries or disabilities
