Slip and fall injuries generally involve a person who falls down on a commercial property and is injured. Most slip and fall cases occur on commercial business premises such as a supermarkets and shopping malls, however, they also may occur at another person's home or private property.
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 that we can 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.
Business owners have the responsibility of keeping their commercial facilities clean and safe for incoming consumers. If smooth surfaces are being cleaned and moped, the proper signage is required.
