The key questions are whether the property left a hazard unfixed and whether that hazard caused your fall.

That control is why the question often centers on the owner.<\/p>\n<p>A claim depends on proof, not just on the fall itself. Whether a claim is possible depends on the facts of each incident. Whether a claim exists turns on the details of your own case.<\/p>\n<p>You do not need legal words to ask this question. If you slipped in a lobby, tripped on a stairway, or fell by a pool, you can simply ask whether the property was responsible.<\/p>\n<h2>Common Hotel and Motel Hazards That Lead to Falls<\/h2>\n<p>Most hotel falls involve a hazard that someone could have seen, fixed, or marked. Common examples include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Wet lobby floors.<\/strong> Freshly mopped tile or a spill near the elevators or breakfast area, with no warning sign or cone.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Broken pool decks.<\/strong> Cracked concrete, damaged pool steps, or wet surfaces around a pool or hot tub.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Poor lighting.<\/strong> Dim stairwells, hallways, parking garages, and walkways that hide a change in level.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Loose handrails.<\/strong> Wobbly, missing, or loose rails on stairs, ramps, and balconies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unmarked hazards.<\/strong> Torn carpet, raised thresholds, missing tiles, or debris left in a walkway.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bathroom slip risks.<\/strong> Slick tubs or showers in guest rooms when the property knew about a problem and did not address it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each hazard raises a basic question. Did the property know, or should it have known, and did it act? The answer often turns on how long the hazard was there and whether staff followed inspection routines.<\/p>\n<h2>How Florida Law Treats Spills and Transitory Substances<\/h2>\n<p>Florida has a specific rule for slips on a transitory foreign substance. That means a liquid or other material that was on the floor only temporarily. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.0755.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 768.0755<\/a>, the injured person must prove the business had actual or constructive knowledge of the dangerous condition and should have acted to fix it.<\/p>\n<p>Constructive knowledge means the business should have known, even if no one saw the spill. The statute says this can be shown when the condition existed long enough that, with ordinary care, the business should have found it. It can also be shown when the condition occurred often enough to be foreseeable.<\/p>\n<p>In practice, evidence such as how long the spill was present, whether staff followed a cleaning schedule, and whether warning signs were posted can matter a great deal. Your own timeline and photos can help show what happened. The statute also says it does not affect the broader common-law duty of care owed by whoever possesses or controls the business premises.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cta-dose-mid wp-block-group has-base-color has-accent-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-32197852 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:var(--wp--preset--color--accent,#20242e);color:var(--wp--preset--color--base,#ffffff);border-radius:8px;padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem;padding-left:1.5rem;padding-right:1.5rem;border-left:6px solid var(--wp--preset--color--cta,currentColor);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-base-color has-text-color\">Have questions about what happened?<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask our team directly.
