Orlando Slip Accident Lawyer
Slipping and falling can cause more than just embarrassment—it can result in serious injuries that affect your ability to work, care for your family, and enjoy life. Whether it happened at a store, hotel, restaurant, or on public property, you may be entitled to compensation if negligence played a role. An experienced Orlando slip accident lawyer at Spencer Morgan Law can help you hold property owners accountable and secure the financial recovery you need.
Understanding Slip Accidents in Orlando
Florida’s premises liability laws require property owners and managers to keep their spaces reasonably safe for guests and customers. When they fail to fix hazards or warn about dangers, slip accidents can occur. Spencer Morgan Law represents victims throughout Orlando who have been injured in slip accidents caused by wet floors, spills, and other unsafe conditions.
Common Causes of Slip Accidents
- Spilled food, drinks, or cleaning solutions
- Recently mopped floors without warning signs
- Rainwater or tracked-in moisture
- Uneven tiles or flooring transitions
- Slippery pool decks or outdoor surfaces
- Poor lighting that hides hazards
Our legal team conducts a thorough investigation to identify what caused the accident and who is legally responsible for maintaining the property.
Steps to Take After a Slip Accident
- Notify the property owner or manager immediately.
- Ask for an official incident report and keep a copy for your records.
- Take photos of the area where you slipped and any visible injuries.
- Gather names and contact information for witnesses.
- Get medical attention as soon as possible.
- Contact Spencer Morgan Law to discuss your case before speaking to insurers.

- Fractured bones
- Spinal cord and back injuries
- Head trauma and concussions
- Soft tissue tears and sprains

These injuries often require extensive medical treatment, physical therapy, and time away from work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I file a claim if I slipped in a store or restaurant?
Yes. Businesses that open their doors to the public must maintain safe conditions and can be held liable for negligence.
What if I didn’t report the accident immediately?
You can still file a claim, but reporting the accident promptly strengthens your case and ensures proper documentation.
How long do I have to file a claim in Florida?
Most slip accident claims must be filed within two years of the incident.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
You may still recover compensation under Florida’s comparative negligence law, though your award could be reduced.
Do I need a lawyer for a slip accident case?
Yes. An attorney can handle all communications, gather evidence, and ensure you are not pressured into accepting an unfair settlement.
