Slip and Fall Accidents Aren’t Just “Minor Safety Incidents.”

They’re Costly, Life-Changing, and Often Preventable.

Most people don’t realize how fast a slip and fall can immediately derail their life until it happens to them. One second you’re walking through a grocery store, parking lot, or apartment complex, and the next? You’re suddenly injured on the ground, wondering if this is going to cost you your job, your life savings, or your ability to ever walk again without pain.

At KFB Law, we see what’s behind the scenes of a fall: the extreme medical bills, the impact of lost wages, surgery schedules, and the emotional distress and physical pain while fighting with an insurance company. We’ve worked with clients across Tampa Bay who slipped, tripped, or fell because a negligent property owner failed to take reasonable care of dangerous conditions.

And here’s the truth: A lot of these falls never should have happened.

If you’re here, you’re probably dealing with all of that. Finding a law firm and experienced personal injury attorney in Tampa who understands the stakes of a slip and fall accident is a critical first step in reclaiming your life.

Let’s talk. It’s free. And it could entirely alter your outcome in the best way possible.

Do You Even Have a Case?

That’s the right first question to ask and the one we help you answer.

Florida law holds public and private property owners, business owners who open their premises to the public, and management companies responsible for maintenance, to rectify known hazards and maintain a safe environment for guests, customers, and tenants. If they failed that duty — and that failure caused your serious injury — you may have a slip and fall case.

We’re talking about things like:
Wet floors in grocery stores with no warning signs
Broken steps at apartment complexes
Uneven sidewalks outside businesses
Dimly lit stairwells or garages with inadequate lighting
Potholes in parking lots
Loose mats or flooring at restaurants or retail stores
Not sure if your fall accident qualifies? Or you’ve been dropped by a lawyer because your case is complex. Call us, and one of our skilled slip and fall attorneys will walk through your slip and fall claim. We take cases where we truly believe we can make a difference.

With decades of experience and deep roots in the Tampa Bay community, our attorneys know what it takes to guide you through a tough situation and fight for what’s fair.

Common Causes of Slip and Fall Cases

A slip and fall can happen almost anywhere: a grocery store, a parking lot, a restaurant, or even someone’s home. Many of these incidents are preventable and often occur because a property owner failed to fix or warn about a dangerous condition.

Here are some of the most common causes we see in slip and fall cases.

Wet or Slippery Floors

Spills, leaks, or recently mopped areas without warning signs are one of the top causes of slip and fall injuries. These often occur in grocery stores, restaurants, and office buildings.

Uneven Surfaces

Broken pavement, loose tiles, uneven steps, or changes in floor level create clear trip hazards. In many premises liability cases, property owners had prior notice but failed to make repairs.

Poor Lighting

Dim stairwells, dark walkways, and unlit parking lots make it hard to see obstacles. Inadequate lighting often plays a key role in proving negligence in a fall lawsuit.

Cluttered Walkways 

Cables, boxes, or general debris in walkways create unexpected obstacles. This is especially common in retail stores, event venues, and commercial buildings.

Damaged Stairs

Stairs that are uneven, missing handrails, or poorly maintained can easily cause a serious fall. If a fall accident occurs on stairs, building codes and maintenance records often come into play.

Negligence of Property Owners

Ultimately, what ties all these hazards together is preventability. If a property owner knew or should have known about the danger and did nothing, they may be liable under Florida premises liability law.

Inappropriate Footwear 

Wearing the wrong shoes doesn’t excuse a fall, but slippery flooring paired with unsafe surfaces (like tile over concrete) may still be grounds for a slip and fall claim, especially if no warnings are posted.

Loose Mats and Rugs

If mats slide, curl, or bunch up — especially near entrances or elevators — they become easy trip hazards. Property managers are expected to secure these items to reduce risk.

Defective Escalators and Elevators

Sudden stops, uneven landings, or poorly maintained platforms can lead to severe injuries. Businesses have a legal duty to maintain these systems and respond to repair issues quickly.

Hurt in a Fall? Here’s What to Do and Who to Call

After a slip and fall accident, your next steps can make all the difference. Get a medical evaluation right away, even if your injuries seem minor. If possible, document the scene and take note of any obvious dangers. Take photos, record the conditions, obtain contact information for any witnesses, and report the incident to the property or store manager. Keep medical records of your treatment and any expenses.

Then, contact a slip and fall attorney. The sooner you speak with us, the better your chances of understanding your legal options, protecting your rights, and recovering compensation. At KFB Law, we’re here to help you move forward with clarity, support, and a strategy that puts your recovery first.

Nearly 2. 5 years ago I was rear ended by a commercial truck causing injuries that would effect me a life time. With the help of Mr. Manny Fernandez and his staff they made this process easier than I could’ve imagined. They were by my side the entire time and kept me up to date with the latest development. He himself would call to check on me periodically, especially after both back surgeries. The KF&B group always had my best interest at heart. Once again many thanks to Manny Fernandez and staff at the KF&B group.caring and attentive to your individual needs and efficient in their work. Ive gone here fortunately but unfortunately one to many occasions but they’ve had me evey single time. I couldn’t ask for better service. Thank you.

I had two car accidents from within 2017 and 2018. The first one is where I got hit by a tow truck. He got in my lane and hit me. Then the second accident was where a drunk driver hit me in the rear end. I cannot work anymore because of this. I have tried to work and make money to live on. I called the law office and they took my case right away. I just want to say that I am so happy with the results. I am now able to have some peace of mind. They helped with the medical portion as well as I am still in the recovery process. Thank you so much for helping me with my two car accidents. The very best I would say and so much moreFrom start to end of the case (which was completed in 6 months!), I felt like Marcus had my back and truly was there to represent and advocate for me. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in need of legal support.

Marcus Fernandez was amazing. I have been in two car accidents that were not my fault. He handled both accidents with respect, and strength. Mr. Fernandez did an outstanding job with ensuring that I was aware of every move, every response from the other insurance carrier, what our next steps were going to be, including doing the full mediation to settle out of court for me!! I appreciate all his help!! I highly recommend Kinney, Fernandez, and Boire!!!! This law firm is a great group of individuals who care about their clients and are determined to get results!!!!Blessings Too ME!!!!!I would recommend them to anyone…Special Thanks To Mrs.DEE She kept me Encouraged &Motivated the whole way through definitely GREAT PEOPLE TOO HANDLE BUSINESS WITH
