01 — The reality
Why slip-and-fall claims get fought hard
Store and insurance defense teams almost always argue the hazard was “open and obvious,” or that you were not watching where you walked. Expecting that argument is the first step to answering it.
In Florida, a slip-and-fall claim generally turns on whether the business knew, or should have known, about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it. That requires evidence — incident reports, surveillance footage, maintenance logs.
That footage and those reports can be recorded over or “lost” within days unless someone formally demands they be preserved.

02 — Don’t wait
There is a deadline on your claim
Florida’s deadline for most premises-negligence claims is two years from the date of the fall under the 2023 reform (HB 837). Because video evidence is often overwritten within days, the practical window to act is far sooner.
