Slip & Fall claims in Tallahassee

Governor's Square and the plazas along Capital Circle stay busy, and summer here means a wet entrance most afternoons from June to September. Doors stay propped. A fall inside a store is a premises claim, not a traffic claim, so PIP has no role and no other driver is involved. What generally decides it is whether the business knew about the hazard or should have known, which is why the incident report, the cleaning log, and the camera over the entrance end up carrying the case. Ask for a copy before you go. Two years, and camera footage does not keep that long.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I get a crash report in Tallahassee?

Tallahassee Police work crashes inside the city; the Leon County Sheriff's Office covers the rest of the county; Florida Highway Patrol usually takes I-10. Crashes on the FSU or FAMU campuses may be worked by campus police instead. Ask which agency it was before you leave. The report goes to FLHSMV, and you can request it through the state crash portal or directly from the agency that wrote it.

Which court would handle a Tallahassee injury case?

Leon County, at the courthouse downtown, in the Second Judicial Circuit. That circuit also covers Franklin, Gadsden, Jefferson, Liberty, and Wakulla counties, so a crash on US-90 west of town can land in a neighboring county but the same circuit. County court takes smaller civil claims and circuit court the larger ones. We are not a law firm, and which one fits your claim is a lawyer's call.

I'm a student and my car is insured in another state. Does PIP apply?

It depends on the policy, and that's a real question for an attorney rather than a form answer. Florida PIP attaches to vehicles registered here. A student driving a car registered elsewhere may be covered under that state's rules, or under a household policy, or under the PIP of the car they were riding in. Bring the declarations page to whoever reviews it.

How long do I have to file an injury claim in Florida?

In Florida, the deadline is generally 2 years from the date of the accident. Reduced from 4 to 2 years by HB 837 (2023). Wrongful death 2 years. Medical 2 years. Deadlines are strict — the sooner you act, the more options you have.
