Premises liability is a legal principle holding property owners and occupiers responsible for maintaining a safe environment for visitors. In Florida, property owners must ensure their premises are free from hazards that could harm lawful visitors. If a property owner fails to address unsafe conditions or warn visitors about potential dangers, they may be held liable for any resulting injuries.
Premises liability cases can occur in various settings, including residential homes, retail stores, restaurants, hotels, public parks, and more. Whether the property is privately or publicly owned, the key factor in these cases is the property owner’s duty of care to those on their premises.
To successfully pursue a premises liability claim in Florida, you must establish the following elements:
“People come to us at the hardest moments of their lives. My job is to give them strength, fight for what’s right, and make sure their voice is heard where it matters most—in court.”
Premises liability cases cover a wide range of accidents and injuries. Some of the most common types include:
Uneven flooring, wet surfaces, poor lighting, and loose rugs can cause slip and fall accidents. These incidents are among the most common premises liability cases and can lead to severe injuries, such as broken bones or head trauma.
Property owners must provide adequate security measures to protect visitors from foreseeable criminal acts. If inadequate lighting, broken locks, or the absence of security personnel contribute to an assault or theft, the property owner may be held liable.
Florida law requires pet owners to control their animals and prevent them from harming others. If a property owner’s negligence leads to a dog bite or animal attack, they may be responsible for the resulting injuries.
Drowning incidents and other swimming pool accidents often occur due to a lack of proper supervision, broken pool gates, or slippery surfaces. These accidents are particularly concerning when they involve children.
In retail settings or warehouses, unsecured merchandise or poorly stacked items can fall and injure customers. Property owners must ensure that items are stored safely.
Mechanical failures or improper maintenance of elevators and escalators can lead to serious injuries for unsuspecting visitors.
