Orlando Bathtub/Shower Fall Lawyer

A slip and fall in a bathtub or shower can cause serious and long-lasting injuries, particularly for older adults or those with limited mobility. Many of these accidents happen in hotels, rental properties, gyms, or apartment complexes where unsafe conditions go unaddressed. If negligence caused your fall, an experienced Orlando bathtub/shower fall lawyer at Spencer Morgan Law can help you pursue compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Understanding Bathtub and Shower Accidents

Bathroom falls are among the most common causes of serious injuries in both residential and commercial properties. Wet surfaces, poor design, and a lack of proper safety features make these spaces high-risk areas. Property owners and managers have a legal duty to maintain bathrooms in safe condition, provide proper drainage, and install handrails or anti-slip materials where appropriate. When they fail to do so, they can be held accountable under Florida premises liability law.

Common Causes of Bathtub and Shower Falls

• Slippery surfaces without non-slip mats or textured flooring
• Leaking faucets, poor drainage, or plumbing failures
• Missing grab bars or broken safety handles
• Inadequate lighting or poor bathroom design
• Lack of proper cleaning or maintenance in public or rental bathrooms

These hazards are preventable with reasonable care and maintenance. When property owners ignore them, serious injuries can result.

Steps to Take After a Bathtub or Shower Fall

1. Seek immediate medical attention, even if your injuries appear minor.
2. Report the incident to the property owner, manager, or hotel staff.
3. Take photos of the bathroom, including the hazard that caused the fall.
4. Keep any damaged items or clothing from the accident as evidence.
5. Write down details about lighting, water accumulation, or missing safety features.
6. Obtain names and contact information from any witnesses.
7. Contact Spencer Morgan Law to discuss your rights and next steps.

Common Injuries in Bathroom Falls

Slipping in a confined space can cause severe trauma. Victims often suffer broken hips, spinal injuries, head trauma, or torn ligaments. Even seemingly minor injuries can lead to chronic pain or mobility problems. Our firm works closely with medical professionals to assess your injuries and document how they affect your life, ensuring you receive full compensation for your physical and emotional recovery.

Liability in Bathtub and Shower Accidents

Property owners, landlords, and hospitality operators have a responsibility to maintain safe conditions. Failing to install proper fixtures, repair leaks, or clean surfaces can amount to negligence. In some cases, defective fixtures or flooring materials may make a manufacturer liable as well. Spencer Morgan Law investigates the property’s maintenance history, inspection records, and repair documentation to identify every responsible party.

Compensation for Victims

Victims of bathtub or shower falls may be eligible to recover compensation for:

• Emergency and ongoing medical care
• Lost wages and reduced earning potential
• Physical therapy or rehabilitation costs
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment of life

We calculate both immediate and future damages to ensure your claim reflects the true extent of your losses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is responsible for my bathtub or shower injury?

Liability typically falls on the property owner, landlord, hotel, or management company responsible for maintaining the premises. In some cases, product manufacturers may also be held accountable.

How soon should I contact a lawyer after my fall?

It’s best to reach out immediately. Early action helps preserve evidence such as surveillance footage, maintenance records, and witness statements.

What if I slipped while staying at a hotel or vacation rental?

You may still be eligible for compensation under the property owner’s insurance policy. Our firm handles claims against hotels, Airbnb rentals, and other hospitality properties.

Can I recover damages if I was partially at fault?

Yes. Florida’s comparative negligence law allows partial recovery based on your percentage of fault. Our goal is to minimize that percentage and maximize your compensation.

What if I fell in my own apartment or condo?

If the landlord or management failed to address maintenance issues that caused your injury, they may still be liable. Our attorneys will review your lease and investigate the conditions leading to your fall.
