Premises Liability In Florida
Property owners must keep spaces reasonably safe for customers and guests. In Coral Gables, that includes supermarkets, restaurants near Miracle Mile, condos off Ponce de Leon, hotels, and sidewalks. Wet floors, worn steps, poor lighting, loose mats, and clutter can all cause serious falls. RAM Law & Title, PLLC investigates quickly and explains how Florida’s notice rules affect your claim.
Proving Your Slip And Fall Case
Strong cases show there was a dangerous condition, the owner knew or should have known about it, and it caused your injury. We secure incident reports, photographs, witness statements, maintenance logs, and available video to establish what should have been fixed—or warned about—before you were hurt.
Injuries And Real-World Impact
Falls frequently lead to fractures, head injuries, back and shoulder damage, and lasting pain that disrupts work and family life. We document treatment, therapy, and future care needs to pursue fair compensation. For a broader look at recovery options after negligence, see our personal injury overview.
Facing Businesses And Their Insurers
Retail chains and property managers often deny or downplay responsibility. We push back with evidence, negotiate from strength, and file suit in Miami-Dade when needed. If your incident involved an animal on the premises, learn how we handle
dog bite injuries as a related claim type.
Frequently Asked Questions
Slip & Fall Injuries
How do I prove a slip and fall case in Florida?
Business plaintiffs must show the store knew or should have known of a dangerous condition and failed to fix or warn. A slip and fall lawyer in Coral Gables uses cleaning logs, video, and witness statements to prove notice.
What should I do after a fall in a store or restaurant?
Report the incident, ask for a manager, request an incident number, photograph the hazard and your clothes/shoes, and seek medical care. A Miami premises liability attorney will obtain records before they’re lost.
Can I still recover if the hazard was “open and obvious”?
Possibly. Property owners still owe duties to maintain reasonably safe conditions. A premises liability lawyer evaluates lighting, placement, and necessity of the condition to challenge that defense.
How long do I have to file a slip and fall claim?
Generally two years in Florida for negligence. Contact a Coral Gables slip and fall attorney quickly to preserve surveillance footage and witness memories.
The store says there’s no video—now what?
We seek preservation letters, third-party camera footage, and maintenance records. A Miami premises injury lawyer can also develop proof through employee testimony and expert analysis.
