This is a broad category of accident which generally involves a person who falls down on someone else's property and is injured. These types of cases most frequently occur on business premises, when someone is shopping, such as a supermarket. However, they also may occur at another person's home.

Florida Law provides that the owner or operator of property or business is legally responsible for another person's injuries, if they either knew, or in the exercise of reasonable care, should have known, of a dangerous condition, and failed to repair or clean such a dangerous condition.

Assuming we are able to prove the property owner's knowledge of the dangerous condition by either by direct or circumstantial evidence, such as by the condition of the object or liquid which caused you to slip, you may be entitled to recover money damages for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, scarring, disfigurement, disability and inability to lead a normal life.

Florida law provides a number of restrictions upon on these types of cases. We, at the Law Offices of Joseph I.
