Common Causes Of Slip, Trip, And Fall Accidents

How Negligence Puts People On The Ground

Wet Or Slippery Floors


Spills, tracked-in rain, or recent mopping without warning signs cause sudden loss of traction. Grocery stores and hotel lobbies are frequent danger zones. We verify cleaning logs and staffing to prove negligence.

Uneven Surfaces Or Potholes


Cracked sidewalks, buckled tile, and loose mats create trip hazards in malls and office buildings. We document measurements and lighting conditions to establish hazard visibility.

Poor Lighting


Dim stairwells and parking garages hide hazards. We assess bulb wattage, fixture placement, and maintenance records.

Broken Stairs Or Handrails


Rot, rust, or loose anchors lead to falls on staircases. Building codes and inspection histories often tell the story.

Proving A Premises Liability Case

Notice, Negligence, And Your Legal Status

Dangerous Condition

There must be a hazard that created an unreasonable risk of harm. Photos and video help lock this down.



Knowledge Or Constructive Knowledge

We show the owner knew or should have known about the hazard through timing, track marks, or inspection gaps. Employee testimony and logs matter.

Failure To Fix Or Warn

No cleanup, no cones, no signs. We prove the owner failed to act reasonably.

Lawfully On The Property

Shoppers, guests, and tenants have rights under Florida premises liability. We establish your legal status clearly.

Injuries From Slip And Falls

From Fractures To Concussions

Slip and fall injuries often include broken hips, wrist fractures, torn ligaments, and head trauma requiring careful follow-up. Older adults face elevated risks of surgery and long rehabilitation. Wooster Law quantifies future care, therapy, and home modifications, not just ER bills.

Slip And Fall Questions Answered

Straight Talk For Florida Visitors And Residents

  • How do I know if I have a slip and fall case?

    You may have a case if a dangerous condition caused your injury and the property owner knew or should have known about it. We examine timing, inspection practices, and missing warnings. A free evaluation with Wooster Law will help outline your options.

  • Can I sue if I fell at a friend’s house?

    Homeowners insurance exists for exactly this situation. If a hazard should have been fixed or warned about, you can file a claim while preserving your relationship. We handle all communications with professionalism and sensitivity.

  • What if I wasn’t watching where I walked?

    Florida’s comparative negligence laws can reduce compensation if you share fault. However, property owners are still required to maintain safe premises and warn of hazards. We gather evidence to minimize alleged fault and maximize your recovery.

  • The store says they didn’t know about the spill.

    Constructive notice can still make them liable if the spill existed long enough to be discovered. Track marks, dirty edges, or missed inspection schedules can prove timing. We secure records and video evidence to show negligence.

  • How much is my case worth?

    Case value depends on injury severity, medical care, time off work, and long-term effects. Minor injuries may resolve modestly, while fractures or surgeries can significantly increase value. We document every category of loss to support a strong claim.
