Orlando Slip and Fall Attorney—Make Careless Property Owners Pay
Injured on Someone Else’s Property? Here’s How the Law Protects You
Property owners and businesses in Florida are required to keep their premises safe. If you slipped, tripped, or fell due to a dangerous condition—like a wet grocery store floor, broken steps, or poor lighting—you may be entitled to compensation. To win your claim, you’ll generally need to prove:
A dangerous condition existed on the property.
The owner knew or should have known about the hazard.
They failed to fix it or warn you, causing your injury.
Common Causes of Slip & Fall Accidents in Orlando
Each case starts with a thorough investigation—securing incident reports, photos of the scene, witness statements, and any available surveillance video. Fast action is critical: property owners may fix or cover up hazards quickly.
Wet or slippery floors in grocery stores and restaurants
Uneven pavement or broken sidewalks in parking lots
Poor lighting leading to missed hazards or steps
Unattended spills or clutter in retail aisles
Loose rugs, mats, or handrails in public spaces
How We Prove and Win Premises Liability Claims
Michael Reese’s approach includes:
Reviewing property maintenance records and prior complaints to uncover a history of neglect.
Checking for building code violations that show a pattern of unsafe conditions.
Understanding Florida’s specific rules (like the need to prove “notice” of a transitory substance in businesses).
Working with medical providers to document your injuries and tie them directly to the fall.
Overcoming Defenses—Standing Up for Your Rights
Businesses often try to avoid responsibility by blaming the victim (“you weren’t watching where you were going” or “the hazard just appeared”). Reese Legal anticipates these tactics:
- We gather evidence to show hazards existed long enough that they should have been addressed (“constructive notice”).
- We demonstrate you acted reasonably and with due caution.
- Florida’s comparative negligence law allows you to recover even if you were partially at fault—though your recovery might be reduced, we ensure blame isn’t unfairly shifted onto you.
