Sky Law Firm's Slip and Fall Expertise
Florida’s slip-and-fall statute (768.0755) is hostile to plaintiffs: we have to prove the property owner had actual or constructive knowledge of the dangerous condition AND failed to correct it. Sky Law does this by subpoenaing security footage BEFORE it is overwritten (typically 30-90 days), pulling inspection logs, and deposing employees about cleaning schedules. Winning these cases requires fast, aggressive discovery.
Understanding the Slip and Fall Legal Process in Florida
Statute of Limitations — 2 Years
Since March 24, 2023, you have only two years to file (Fla. Stat. § 95.11(4)(a)). Missing this deadline permanently eliminates your right to compensation.
Modified Comparative Negligence — 51% Bar
If you are 51%+ at fault, you recover nothing (Fla. Stat. § 768.81(6)). Insurance companies aggressively push fault above 50% to eliminate payouts.
Insurance Company Tactics
After a slip and fall in Kendall, insurers will contact you within 24-48 hours. Their goal is to minimize your claim through recorded statements, quick lowball offers, delayed responses, and fault shifting. Do not engage without an attorney.

Sky Law Firm builds every case for trial:
- Medical documentation — every injury diagnosed and documented
- Economic damage calculation — lost wages, future earning capacity, lifetime care costs
- Non-economic valuation — pain, suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment
- Liability establishment — accident reconstruction, surveillance, electronic data
- Demand preparation — comprehensive presentation to the insurer
- Mediation and negotiation — aggressive pursuit of fair settlement
- Trial — if needed, we try your case in Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court (Miami-Dade)
What Your Case May Be Worth
