Can I File Slip And Fall Claim Against Government Property In Palm Beach County?

Yes, but special rules apply. Claims against government-owned properties, such as a Palm Beach County park, public library, or municipal building, are governed by Florida’s sovereign immunity statute under § 768.28, F.S. You must first file a formal written notice of claim with the relevant agency before pursuing a lawsuit. Because missing the pre-suit notice deadline can permanently close an otherwise valid claim, acting quickly after an injury on government property is critical.
