Common Causes of Slips and Falls in Miami

Many accidents can be avoided with proper maintenance. The most common causes include:

• Wet or slippery floors without signs
• Loose tiles or worn carpets
• Stairs without handrails or with broken steps
• Poor lighting in hallways or parking lots
• Uncleaned spills in supermarkets or restaurants
• Unexpected obstacles in passage areas

Who Can Be Held Responsible?

In Florida, property owners and occupants have a duty to keep their premises safe. If they fail to act diligently, they may be liable for your injuries.

Commercial Properties:

• Supermarkets, shopping centers, hospitals and restaurants
• Cleaning or security staff who do not respond in a timely manner

Residential properties:

• Apartment complexes or rental houses
• Managers who ignore reports of dangerous conditions

Public properties:

• Poorly maintained streets, sidewalks, or public buildings

Florida law, specifically Statute §768.0755 , states that if the property owner knew (or should have known) of the hazard and failed to correct it, he or she may be held legally liable.

What to Do After a Fall?

1. Seek immediate medical attention, even if you think the injury is minor.
2. Report the accident to the owner or manager of the place.
3. Take photos or videos of the scene, your injuries, and the hazards that caused the fall.
4. Obtain witness information.
5. Keep evidence, such as the clothes you were wearing if they were stained with blood or show the impact.
6. Don’t sign anything without first speaking to a lawyer.
