Premises liability in Florida
Property owners must keep spaces reasonably safe for customers and guests. In Coral Gables, that includes supermarkets, restaurants near Miracle Mile, condos off Ponce de Leon, hotels, and sidewalks. Wet floors, worn steps, poor lighting, loose mats, and clutter can all cause serious falls. RAM Law & Title, PLLC investigates quickly and explains how Florida’s notice rules affect your claim.
Proving your slip and fall case
Strong cases show there was a dangerous condition, the owner knew or should have known about it, and it caused your injury. We secure incident reports, photographs, witness statements, maintenance logs, and available video to establish what should have been fixed, or warned about, before you were hurt.
Injuries and real-world impact
Falls frequently lead to fractures, head injuries, back and shoulder damage, and lasting pain that disrupts work and family life. We document treatment, therapy, and future care needs to pursue fair compensation. For a broader look at recovery options after negligence, see our personal injury overview.
Facing businesses and their insurers
Retail chains and property managers often deny or downplay responsibility. We push back with evidence, negotiate from strength, and file suit in Miami-Dade when needed. If your incident involved an animal on the premises, learn how we handle dog bite injuries as a related claim type.
Local counsel, courtroom ready

Common questions
How do I prove a slip and fall case in Florida?
In a business setting you generally have to show the owner knew, or should have known, about a dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn you. We use cleaning logs, video, and witness statements to establish that notice.
What should I do after a fall in a store or restaurant?
Report it, ask for a manager, get an incident number, photograph the hazard and your shoes and clothing, and see a doctor. We move quickly to obtain the records before they’re lost.
Can I still recover if the hazard was “open and obvious”?
Often, yes. A property owner still owes a duty to keep the premises reasonably safe. We look at the lighting, the placement, and whether the hazard needed to be there at all to challenge that defense.
How long do I have to file a slip and fall claim?
Generally two years in Florida for a negligence claim. It’s worth reaching out quickly so we can preserve surveillance footage and witness memories before they fade.
The store says there’s no video. Now what?
We send preservation letters, chase third-party camera footage, and pull maintenance records, and we can build proof through employee testimony and expert analysis when the store’s own video has conveniently vanished.
