Florida’s slip and fall laws are in Florida Statutes, Torts, Chapter 768, Negligence.

• To receive compensation, the victim must file a claim

Our lawyers can represent you through the entire process. With time limitations, it’s important to contact us as soon as possible.

What if the property owner blames you for a fall?

If the property owner blames you for a fall, don’t panic – remember, they don’t want to pay you compensation! Our lawyers can help you fight back against unfair allegations of fault.

Comparative negligence is a legal principle that may recognize situations where fault is shared. For example, there was a substance on the floor, but the victim was wearing inappropriate footwear. You may still receive some compensation if comparative negligence exists in your case. The amount may still be substantial. Our lawyers can help you examine how Florida Statutes § 768.81 may be important in your case.

What if the property owner is a family member? – I don’t want to sue my friend/family!

Often, we meet slip and fall clients who desperately need compensation, but the property owner is a friend or family member. Don’t worry – you may be able to go through a homeowner or business insurance policy to receive compensation. Our lawyers can help you explore all your options to receive compensation.
