Uneven or unlevel surfaces can create serious hazards for pedestrians and visitors across Orlando. Whether you trip on cracked pavement, an unmarked curb, or a raised floor transition, these conditions can cause painful and long-lasting injuries.

If you were hurt because of a dangerous surface, an experienced Orlando uneven or unlevel surface accident lawyer at Spencer Morgan Law can help you recover compensation for your injuries and hold negligent parties accountable.
Understanding Uneven Surface Accidents
Uneven walking surfaces are one of the leading causes of trip and fall accidents in Florida. These cases fall under premises liability law, which holds property owners responsible when unsafe conditions lead to injuries. Spencer Morgan Law helps victims of these preventable accidents navigate the legal process and seek financial recovery for medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.
Common Causes of Uneven or Unlevel Surface Accidents
- Cracked or broken sidewalks and pavement
- Parking lot potholes and surface gaps
- Loose tiles or floorboards in stores or offices
- Improperly installed flooring transitions
- Unmarked curbs or steps
- Tree roots lifting sidewalks or walkways
Our firm investigates every detail, collecting photos, maintenance records, and witness statements to prove negligence and liability.
