2010 Florida Legislature Targeting Premises Liability/Slip & Fall Law

slip-and-fall.jpgCurrent Florida law allows individuals injured in slip & fall accidents to prove fault against business establishments through evidence of inadequate maintenance policies and procedures. Owens v. Publix Supermarkets, Inc., 802 So. 2d 315 (Fla. 2001) and Section 768.0710 Florida Statutes. If the 2010 Republican-dominated Florida Legislature has its way, this consumer-friendly law will be eliminated. (See Senate Bill 1224 and House Bill 689.) If so, businesses establishments will have one less reason to perform routine inspections and maintenance to keep their premises safe.
