Orlando Slip and Fall Lawyer

Real Results in Orlando Slip and Fall Cases

We've recovered significant settlements for slip and fall victims across Central Florida, including:

• $900,000 settlement after a client slipped on a wet restroom floor that lacked any signage or barricades. The janitorial company failed to warn visitors of the hazard, and we held them responsible for the incident.‍
• $1 million settlement secured for a woman who slipped due to standing water on the floor at a popular nightclub in downtown Orlando. The business initially offered $7,000. After obtaining security footage and preparing for trial, we proved the staff had failed to mark and warn about the danger.

At Osborne & Francis, we prepare every case as if it's going to court. That's how we uncover critical evidence and how we secure life-changing results.

Where Do Slip and Fall Accidents Happen in Orlando?

As one of Florida's top tourist destinations, Orlando sees millions of visitors each year, and many slip and fall cases happen in busy locations such as:

• Theme parks and resort hotels. Falls occur frequently in areas such as Universal Orlando, SeaWorld, and the hotels surrounding Lake Buena Vista.
• Downtown Orlando nightclubs and bars. Locations along Church Street, Orange Avenue, and Central Boulevard often have fast-paced crowds and slippery floors.
• Grocery stores and malls. Retail spaces like Walmart, Publix, Target, and the Mall at Millenia must regularly clean and inspect walking surfaces.
• Airports and transportation hubs. Orlando International (MCO) is responsible for marking wet floors and repairing defective walkways.
• Sidewalks and public spaces. The City of Orlando can be held liable for unsafe curbs, cracked sidewalks, or unmarked hazards in public spaces like Lake Eola Park.
• Apartments and Airbnbs. Landlords and property managers are responsible for maintaining reasonably safe conditions, including ensuring that stairs and entryways are in good repair and not slippery.

No matter where you were injured, our team is equipped to investigate the property and determine who failed in their duty of care.

After a fall, it's easy to feel confused, embarrassed, or even blamed. Let an Orlando slip and fall lawyer deal with the insurance company while you focus on healing.

Why Experience Matters in Slip and Fall Claims

Proving fault can be more complex than people think. Large companies often craft reports that downplay the hazard or shift blame onto the victim.

That's why it's so important to have a slip and fall Attorney in Orlando that goes beyond the basics. At Osborne & Francis, we gather maintenance records, uncover security footage, obtain witness statements, and work with medical professionals to bring the full picture into focus.

"I've seen too many clients walk away with lowball settlements because they didn't know what their case was worth. That's where we come in. We clarify the facts, protect your interests, and make sure the compensation matches what you've endured."

—Gregory Francis | Osborne & Francis

According to a Martindale-Nolo national study, people who hired a personal injury attorney received, on average, three times more compensation than those who handled claims on their own.

What Causes Most Slip and Fall Accidents?

Slip and fall injuries usually occur because of unsafe conditions. Common hazards include:

• Wet floors without signage;
• Poor lighting in stairwells and hallways;
• Damaged or uneven surfaces, such as loose tiles or cracked pavement;
• Spilled drinks, waxy residue, or food debris;
• Missing or broken handrails on steps;
• Cords, packaging, or other items left in walkways; and
• Failure to clear walkways of water from recent rain.

In many cases, these dangers could have been identified and corrected quickly if property owners had taken their responsibilities seriously.

What Injuries Are Common in Slip and Fall Cases?

Our Orlando legal team serves clients suffering from a wide range of injuries, including:

• Head trauma or traumatic brain injuries;
• Broken wrists, ankles, hips, or ribs;
• Torn ligaments or muscle damage;
• Spinal cord injuries or herniated discs;
• Cuts and bruises, often requiring stitches;
• Ongoing pain or balance issues; and
• Emotional trauma and anxiety around walking or public places.

Serious injuries can require surgery or months of therapy. We work with your doctors to identify long-term needs and ensure nothing is left out of your claim.

Evidence We Use to Build Your Case

Slip and fall cases rely heavily on evidence showing that danger existed and that proper steps weren't taken to address it.

A slip and fall lawyer in Orlando commonly uses the following:

• Video surveillance footage (from stores, restaurants, or nearby cameras)
• Time-stamped accident scene photos
• Witness statements
• Cleaning logs or maintenance records
• Medical records and future treatment plans
• Weather or lighting conditions (where relevant)
• Prior complaints, OSHA reports, or inspection results

We may also consult with biomechanical experts, life care planners, or accident reconstructionists to support larger claims or fight disputed causation.

Types of Compensation for Orlando Slip and Fall Victims

You may be eligible to recover a wide variety of damages related to your accident. These often include:

• Medical expenses, both current and future;
• Lost income due to time away from work;
• Loss of future earning potential;
• Pain and suffering, both physical and emotional;
• Costs for mobility aids or home modifications;
• Loss of enjoyment of life; and
• Funeral expenses in fatal injury cases.

In rare cases, punitive damages may be awarded if the business or property owner showed extreme negligence or recklessness.
