Orlando Slip and Fall Attorneys


We have all heard the jokes about slip and fall or trip and fall accidents: the mother who slipped and fell on the banana peel while shopping in the local grocery store; the elderly man who tripped on the uneven walkway or sidewalk while exiting the restaurant.  For years, the insurance industry has made light of these accidents. The reality, however, is far more serious.

According the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 8 million slip and fall accidents occur in the U.S. every year. Of those falls, more than 2 million result in moderate to severe bodily injuries and an estimated 19,000 deaths.  In fact, slip and fall accidents are a leading cause of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in the U.S. every year. At the Fernandez Firm Accident Injury Attorneys, our Orlando slip and fall attorneys have been handling these types of cases for almost 25 years.  We have won over $90 Million dollars in jury verdicts and settlements.

Florida Slip and Fall Law: Transitory Foreign Substances

In Florida, if a person slips and falls on a transitory foreign substance — such as a liquid, a food product or other temporary substance — in a business establishment, in order to bring a lawsuit, the injured person must prove that the business had actual or constructive knowledge of the dangerous condition and should have taken action to correct it.  Constructive knowledge may be proven by circumstantial evidence showing:

a.  The dangerous condition existed for long enough that the business owner should have known it; or

b. The dangerous condition occurred with such regularity that it was foreseeable.

Premises liability cases are not easy in our state. If the slip and fall attorney you hire is unfamiliar with the specific legal requirements of these challenging cases and you lose, the premises owner may be entitled to seek reimbursement of their legal costs and attorney’s fees from you, the injured party.
