Islamorada is made up of five islands in the Florida Keys: Tea Table Key, Lower Matecumbe Key, Upper Matecumbe Key, Windley Key, and Plantation Key. It rests between mile markers 90 and MM 72 on the Overseas Highway. It is known as a village of islands and is located within Monroe County, FL.

The community is rather quiet, with a population of about 6,645, and if focused on tourism for much of its economy. It is also known as the sport fishing capital of the world, and many fishermen come to the area for practice and competitions.

Much of the land in Islamorada is conserved as state parks. This includes Indian Key, Lignum Vitae Key, and San Pedro Underwater Park. In addition to the parks, you can also visit several beaches, including Library Beach Park, Southwinds Park, Plantation Hammock Preserve, Plantation Tropical Preserve, Green Turtle Hammock Nature Preserve, and Key Tree Cactus Preserve.

In addition to the parks and beaches, Islamorada is home to many businesses and the Plantation Yacht Harbor Marina. In all of these places, water on walkways and floors can create a hazard. If businesses do not monitor their entrances and pathways carefully, puddles can form and cause a risk of slipping. Additionally, loose carpets, mats, and rugs, and a lack of non-slip backing, can create slip and fall hazards.

If you fell at someone’s home, at an Islamorada business, or in a public area, and you believe it was because of a hazard on the property, call our slip and fall lawyers for Islamorada right away.

Slip and fall accidents occur for many reasons, yet the bottom line is that there is almost always a problem with the flooring or the surface of a walkway. When the flooring is not entirely safe, it increases the risk that you will trip or slip, which can lead to a fall and serious injuries.

• Puddles of water
• Spilled liquids, foods, or other substances
• Recently or overly waxed floors
• Recently mopped floors
• Loose mats, rugs, or carpet
