Florida’s hotels and motels have very specific legal responsibilities. Hotel owners and operators have to provide reasonable protection to their guests and visitors. In Florida, every hotel and motel must use reasonable care and keep their property safe, clean and well maintained.
Hotels must keep their parking lots, lobbies, restaurants, bars and guest rooms free from slippery substances which can cause a fall. When for example a guest slips and falls at a South Beach hotel on a broken lobby step; the injured person has the legal burden of proof to show that the hotel knew or should have known of the condition and should have fixed it.
Whenever a hotel should have known of a defect or broken condition it is called constructive knowledge. Constructive knowledge can be proven with evidence that shows how long danger existed. Often times it can be proven by the hotel’s failure to maintain and inspect the premises appropriately.
Hotel accidents frequently occurs when a guest is injured getting in and out of the bathtub. Therefore, hotel and motels should always use slip-resistant tubs, showers, flooring, rugs, and grab bars. When a hotel has a guest fall and get hurt and does not properly investigate the cause it puts other guests at risk.
In addition to local building codes, Florida’s hotels are also required to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The ADA is designed to provide easy and safe access to hotels and public buildings to those living with disabilities.
For example, the ADA requires that all bathrooms must be safely utilized by people with disabilities and be equipped with specifically designed shower stalls, bath tubs and toilet seats.
Dozens of Walmart Stores pepper the map of Florida from Jacksonville to Florida City and up and down both the West and East Coasts of the State. Many of the Walmarts in Florida are open 24 hours a day and provide a range of services that include a full grocery store, gas station, pharmacy, optometrist, drug store, Subway Sandwiches, and even McDonald’s.
The unique retail combination of mixing grocery stores with electronics, gas stations and garden centers–all operating 24 hours a day–poses an enormous responsibility for Walmart to maintain their stores and parking lots in a clean and safe condition.

For most negligence claims, Florida’s deadline to file a lawsuit is two years from the date of the injury. Claims for wrongful death, medical malpractice and claims against government agencies follow different rules, so talk to a lawyer early.
Florida uses modified comparative negligence. If you are found 50% or less at fault, your recovery is reduced by your share of fault. If you are found more than 50% at fault, you generally cannot recover.
Get medical care, report what happened, photograph the scene and your injuries, collect names and phone numbers of witnesses, and avoid giving recorded statements to an insurance company before speaking with a lawyer.
