Tampa Restaurant Slip & Fall Lawyer

Restaurants in Tampa are meant to be places where people relax and enjoy a good meal, but when safety is ignored, customers can end up seriously injured. Spilled drinks, greasy floors, or broken tiles can all lead to dangerous accidents. At Spencer Morgan Law, our skilled Tampa restaurant slip and fall lawyer helps victims recover compensation for their injuries caused by unsafe restaurant conditions. We fight to ensure negligent owners and management are held accountable for their lack of care.

Understanding Restaurant Slip and Fall Accidents

Restaurant owners have a legal duty to maintain a safe environment for customers, employees, and guests. When spills are left unattended or flooring becomes hazardous, diners can suffer serious injuries. Slip and fall accidents in restaurants are among the most common premises liability cases in Florida, and they often result in painful injuries that require long-term treatment.

Spencer Morgan Law represents victims of restaurant accidents throughout Tampa. We handle cases involving large restaurant chains, fast-food establishments, and locally owned eateries. Our team investigates every case to identify what caused the accident and how it could have been prevented.

Common Causes of Restaurant Slip and Fall Accidents

• Wet or greasy floors from food and beverage spills
• Mopped areas with no caution signs
• Uneven or cracked flooring tiles
• Cluttered walkways or entryways
• Poor lighting in dining or restroom areas
• Faulty mats or rugs that slide underfoot
• Leaking equipment or air conditioning units

We work with investigators and experts to collect photos, maintenance records, and witness statements that prove negligence.

Common Injuries from Restaurant Falls

Restaurant slip and fall accidents can cause serious and lasting harm. Common injuries include broken bones, head trauma, spinal injuries, torn ligaments, and deep bruises. In more severe cases, victims may suffer permanent mobility issues or chronic pain. Spencer Morgan Law ensures that your injuries and medical costs are fully documented and included in your claim.

Steps to Take After a Restaurant Slip and Fall

1. Report the fall to a manager immediately and request a written incident report.
2. Take photos of the area, including any spills or hazards.
3. Gather contact information for witnesses and employees.
4. Seek medical care right away, even if you think you’re fine.
5. Keep copies of your medical records and receipts.
6. Do not discuss the accident with the restaurant’s insurer.
7. Contact Spencer Morgan Law to start your claim and protect your rights.

What Compensation May Be Available

Victims of restaurant slip and fall accidents may recover compensation for:

• Medical expenses and future care
• Lost income and reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Permanent disability or disfigurement
• Loss of enjoyment of life

Our attorneys negotiate aggressively with insurance companies and are prepared to take your case to court if a fair settlement isn’t offered.

Proving Negligence in a Restaurant Slip and Fall Case

To succeed in a restaurant injury claim, we must show that the restaurant knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn customers. Spencer Morgan Law reviews cleaning logs, employee reports, and video surveillance to uncover evidence of negligence.

We know how restaurant insurance companies operate and how to counter their tactics. Our goal is to build a strong case that proves the owner’s carelessness directly caused your injuries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is responsible if I fall in a restaurant?

Restaurant owners and operators are responsible for maintaining safe conditions. If their negligence caused your injury, they can be held liable.

What if an employee saw the spill but didn’t clean it?

If the restaurant had knowledge of the hazard and failed to act, it strengthens your case for negligence.

Can I still file a claim if I was partially at fault?

Yes. Under Florida’s comparative negligence law, your compensation may be reduced by your share of fault but not completely denied.

How long do I have to file a claim in Florida?

You generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit.

How much does it cost to hire Spencer Morgan Law?

There are no upfront fees. We only get paid if we recover compensation for you.
