Slip and Fall Lawyer in Florida – Get the Compensation You Deserve


Helping Injury Victims in Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale & Across Florida


Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere—at a grocery store, in a parking lot, or on someone’s private property. These accidents often result in serious injuries, from broken bones to traumatic brain injuries. If you’ve been hurt in a slip and fall due to unsafe conditions, you may be entitled to compensation. At Lieberman Injury Law, we fight to hold negligent property owners accountable and help you recover the damages you deserve.

Understanding Florida Premises Liability Laws

Property owners have a legal responsibility to keep their premises safe for visitors. When they fail to do so, they may be held liable under Florida’s premises liability laws. To file a successful slip and fall claim, you must prove that:

  • A hazardous condition existed on the property.
  • The property owner knew or should have known about the hazard.
  • They failed to fix or warn about the dangerous condition.
  • The hazardous condition caused your injury.

Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents

Many slip and fall accidents happen due to negligence. Some of the most common causes include:


  • Wet or slippery floors
  • Uneven sidewalks or walkways
  • Poor lighting in stairwells and parking lots
  • Loose rugs or torn carpeting
  • Cluttered walkways or obstacles in retail stores
  • Lack of handrails on stairs or ramps

Who Is Liable for a Slip and Fall Injury?

Liability depends on where the accident happened and who was responsible for maintaining the property. Potentially liable parties may include:


  • Business owners if the fall occurred at a store, restaurant, or hotel.
  • Landlords if the injury happened in an apartment complex due to poor maintenance.
  • Government entities if the fall occurred on public property, such as a sidewalk or park.
