Injured on someone else’s property: what does Florida law require?
A practical guide to unsafe-property claims, including the duties owed to visitors, the special proof required in slip-and-fall cases, and the evidence that can disappear quickly.
A fall or other injury on someone else’s property does not automatically make the owner responsible. Florida law asks who possessed or controlled the property, what danger existed, and what the responsible party knew or should have known.
In a business slip-and-fall involving a temporary substance, proof of actual or constructive knowledge is often the central issue. Photographs, witnesses, surveillance video, and incident records can make the difference.
