If you slipped on a wet floor at a restaurant or bar, you may have a claim against the business. Florida law asks a key question: did the business know about the spill, or should it have known, and fail to clean it up? A Coral Way slip and fall<\/a> lawyer can explain how that question applies to your fall.<\/p>\n

This guide explains what you need to show, how Florida’s deadlines work, and what to do after a fall. It is general information, not legal advice about your case. For background on these claims, see our slip and fall claims overview.<\/p>\n

Can you sue a restaurant or bar after a slip and fall?<\/h2>\n

Whether you may have a claim depends on the facts of your case, including whether the business’s carelessness caused your fall.<\/p>\n

Florida law calls this premises liability. It means the owner or operator of a property owes a duty to keep visitors safe from hazards it knows about or should know about.<\/p>\n

Florida has a specific statute for falls on a substance that does not belong on the floor. Under Fla. Stat. \u00a7 768.0755<\/a>, a person who slips on a transitory foreign substance in a business establishment must prove the business had actual or constructive knowledge of the dangerous condition. The business also should have acted to fix it.<\/p>\n

Examples of temporary substances on a floor include water, a spilled drink, or grease.<\/p>\n\n

What must you prove after a spill at a restaurant or bar?<\/h2>\n

You must show the business knew about the spill, or should have known about it. Florida’s statute explains how constructive knowledge may be proven, including through circumstantial evidence (Fla. Stat. \u00a7 768.0755<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Staff reports, messages, or a witness who alerted an employee can help show this.<\/p>\n

Constructive knowledge<\/strong> means the business, in the exercise of ordinary care, should have known of the condition, even if no one said anything. The statute lists the circumstances that may show constructive knowledge (Fla. Stat. \u00a7 768.0755<\/a>):<\/p>\n
