Tampa Slip & Fall Lawyer
A slip and fall accident can happen in seconds but leave lasting physical and financial consequences. From grocery stores and restaurants to apartment complexes and sidewalks, unsafe property conditions are often to blame. At Spencer Morgan Law, our experienced Tampa slip and fall lawyer represents victims who have been injured due to negligence. We fight to hold property owners accountable and secure full compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Understanding Slip & Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents are one of the most common types of personal injury claims in Florida. These incidents typically occur when a property owner or business fails to maintain safe conditions or warn visitors of hazards. Florida’s premises liability laws protect victims who suffer harm due to negligence, but proving fault requires careful investigation and evidence collection.
Spencer Morgan Law has extensive experience handling slip and fall cases in Tampa. We know what evidence to look for and how to prove that unsafe property conditions caused your injury.
Common Causes of Slip & Fall Accidents
- Wet or slippery floors without warning signs
- Spilled liquids or leaking equipment
- Uneven or damaged flooring
- Poor lighting in walkways or stairwells
- Loose rugs or floor mats
- Cracked pavement or broken tiles
- Debris or clutter in aisles
Our team investigates maintenance records, witness statements, and surveillance footage to show how the property owner’s negligence led to your fall.
Common Injuries from Slip & Fall Accidents
Slip and fall victims can suffer serious injuries that impact their ability to work and enjoy life. Common injuries include broken bones, torn ligaments, concussions, spinal cord injuries, and hip fractures. Some victims develop chronic pain or long-term mobility issues.
At Spencer Morgan Law, we ensure your injuries are fully evaluated and your medical records reflect the full extent of your damages.

What Compensation May Be Available

- Loss of enjoyment of life
Our attorneys negotiate aggressively with insurance companies and property owners to recover every dollar you deserve.
Proving Negligence in Slip & Fall Claims
To win a slip and fall case, you must show that the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to fix it or warn visitors. Spencer Morgan Law builds a strong case by examining cleaning schedules, maintenance logs, and security footage to establish liability.
We also work with safety experts when needed to demonstrate how a dangerous condition directly caused your injuries.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have a case if there was no warning sign?
Yes. If a spill or hazard existed long enough for the owner to know about it but no warning was posted, you may still have a valid claim.
Can I recover compensation if I was partially at fault?
Yes. Under Florida’s comparative negligence law, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault but not eliminated entirely.
Who is responsible for a slip and fall in a rental property?
Landlords or property managers may be liable if they failed to maintain safe conditions in common areas.
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 costs. We only get paid when we recover compensation for you.
