Slip and Fall Accidents in Shopping Centers: What Florida Shoppers Should Know

From Miami’s bustling malls to local strip centers, Florida shopping destinations see heavy foot traffic. While most visits go smoothly, slippery floors, poor maintenance, or cluttered walkways can cause serious injuries.

Common Causes of Shopping Center Falls

• Wet floors near food courts or entrances after rain

• Uneven tiles or cracked pavement in parking lots

• Obstructed walkways from merchandise or cleaning equipment

• Poor lighting in stairwells or garages
