Lincoln Road on a sunny afternoon is shopping bags, sidewalk caf\u00e9s, and people taking their time. One wet patch can end that stroll fast. If you slipped on a spill or wet floor at a Miami Beach hotel, restaurant, or store and got hurt, Florida law may give you a claim against the property owner. Whether you have one turns on the facts and on Florida law, so the details matter.<\/p>\n

When can a fall at a Miami Beach business lead to a claim?<\/h2>\n

A fall can lead to a claim when the business knew, or should have known, about the hazard and did nothing to fix it or warn you.<\/p>\n

Picture a guest who steps in water left near a hotel pool entrance, or a diner who slips on soup spilled near a restaurant patio. Florida has a specific statute for falls on a temporary substance inside a business, such as a spill or puddle. It also says it does not affect the broader common-law duty of care a business owner owes.<\/p>\n\n

What must you prove about the spill?<\/h2>\n

Under \u00a7 768.0755<\/a>, the injured person must prove the business had actual or constructive knowledge of the dangerous condition. The business also should have acted to fix it.<\/p>\n

Constructive knowledge means the business should have known, even if no one noticed it. The statute says constructive knowledge can be shown with circumstantial evidence, meaning clues that point to what happened. The statute describes how constructive knowledge may be shown with circumstantial evidence, as set out in Fla. Stat. \u00a7 768.0755<\/a>:<\/p>\n
