When Can a Property Owner Be Liable for My Winter Weather Slip and Fall Accident in Florida?

As the seasons change each year and the beginning of winter approaches, people are often reminded of the dangers of slip and fall accidents that could be brought on by snowy and icy conditions.
Slip and fall accidents are not just limited to injuries that have occurred during warmer weather months. In fact, Florida premises liability law does not differentiate between cold weather and warm weather slip and fall accidents. If you were injured during the summer months or the winter months and the property owner knew about a dangerous condition on the property and didn’t take the reasonable steps necessary to fix the hazard or warn you and others about the condition, then the property owner could be held liable.
Slip and fall accidents in Florida can be dangerous for the victims involved. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, slip and fall accidents cause approximately 17,000 deaths each year. Although not all of these deaths occurred in the snow and ice, there are many deaths and even injuries that did take place during the winter weather conditions.
