Slip and Fall on Water Accidents in Southwest Florida

Experienced Personal Injury Attorneys Serving Naples, Fort Myers & Southwest Florida

Slip and fall accidents on water are among the most common causes of injuries in Southwest Florida, where wet conditions frequently arise due to rain, pool decks, grocery store spills, and other hazards. Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors. If they fail to do so and someone is injured, they may be held liable under Florida’s premises liability laws.

At Pittman Law Firm, P.L., we provide experienced legal representation for victims of slip and fall accidents across Southwest Florida, including Fort Myers, Bonita Springs, and Naples. If you or a loved one has been injured due to a property owner’s negligence, our legal team is prepared to help you pursue the compensation you deserve.

Causes of Slip and Fall on Water Accidents in Southwest Florida

Slippery surfaces are a serious risk in Florida’s warm and humid climate, particularly in areas with frequent rain, high foot traffic, or poor maintenance. Common causes of slip and fall accidents involving water include:

  • Standing water in grocery stores and restaurants – Spills that are not promptly cleaned up can create dangerous walking conditions.
  • Leaking air conditioners and refrigeration units – These common commercial property issues often cause puddles that lead to slip and falls.
  • Poorly maintained sidewalks and parking lots – Uneven pavement, clogged drainage systems, or algae buildup can create hazardous surfaces.
  • Pool decks and recreational areas – Wet pool decks, boat docks, and waterparks require extra precautions to prevent falls.
  • Entryways of businesses and hotels – Rainwater tracked inside creates slippery conditions, requiring mats and warning signs.

Regardless of where the accident occurred, proving liability is essential to recovering damages. Our attorneys at Pittman Law Firm, P.L. are ready to investigate your case and determine if negligence played a role in your injuries.

Proving Negligence in a Slip and Fall Case

To successfully file a premises liability claim, an injured party must prove that the property owner or manager was negligent. This involves demonstrating:

  • A hazardous condition existed – Water accumulation, leaks, or other unsafe conditions were present.
  • The property owner knew or should have known about the hazard – Evidence must show that the owner failed to take reasonable steps to fix or warn about the danger.
  • The hazard caused the slip and fall injury – Medical records and witness testimony can support your claim.

With offices in Fort Myers and Bonita Springs, our firm has extensive experience representing clients in slip and fall cases throughout Naples and Southwest Florida.
