Slip and fall accidents can cause broken bones, head injuries, back injuries, medical expenses, and lost income. A Clearwater Slip and Fall Lawyer can help an injured person understand their legal options when unsafe property conditions contribute to an accident. Common hazards include wet floors, spills, uneven surfaces, poor lighting, damaged walkways, and other dangerous conditions.

Under Florida law, a person injured by a temporary substance in a business establishment generally must establish that the business had actual or constructive knowledge of the dangerous condition. Constructive knowledge may involve showing that the condition existed long enough that the business should have discovered it or that it occurred regularly and was foreseeable.

Evidence such as photographs, incident reports, surveillance footage, witness statements, medical records, and maintenance records can help document the circumstances of a fall and the resulting injuries. Promptly preserving evidence can be important when evaluating a premises liability claim.
