If you were hurt in a fall on property you don’t own or run, you may have a claim against the property owner. Whether you do depends on what caused the fall and what the owner knew or should have known.<\/p>\n

Who This Page Is For: A Fall on Someone Else’s Property<\/h2>\n

If you slipped and got hurt on property someone else controls, you may have a claim against the owner or manager, depending on the facts.<\/p>\n

Picture this. You step on a wet floor in a grocery store with no warning sign. Or you catch a cracked edge on a condo walkway, or you trip on a loose stair rail at a hotel. You get hurt. You didn’t own the place, and you didn’t create the danger. Many people in this spot wonder whether they can do anything about it.<\/p>\n

In Florida, this kind of claim is often called premises liability (a claim that a property owner was responsible for an unsafe condition). The sections below explain its parts in plain words.<\/p>\n

Generally, the injured person brings the claim. If a fall causes a death, the claim is brought by the decedent’s personal representative (the person appointed to handle the deceased person’s estate), for the survivors and the estate, under \u00a7 768.20<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Each case depends on its own facts. No result can be promised.<\/p>\n\n
