There are generally three types of slip-and-fall accidents that can occur.
1.Slip-and-fall: slipping on something slippery, such as water, resulting in a fall
2.Trip-and-fall: tripping over an object or uneven ground that should not have been in the way
3.Step-and-fall: falling due to sudden drop or hole in the person’s path
Under Florida State premises liability law, it is up to the property owner, business or landowner to keep their property in a reasonably safe condition. When damage occurs on their property, it is up to them to fix issues in a timely manner. Should they choose not to fix these problems, this is considered negligence and can make the owner liable for any injuries that occur due to these issues. "
So it appears that just sustaining an injury on another's property is probably not actionable unless negligence can be proven
