When visiting a property—whether it’s a business, public space, or private residence—you rightfully expect to be in a safe environment.

If you’ve been injured due to unsafe conditions on someone else’s property, the experienced legal team at Burnetti, P.A. is here to help.

Premises liability law holds property owners and occupiers responsible for ensuring their premises are safe for visitors. Whether you are at a private residence, commercial property, or public space, property owners have a duty to prevent foreseeable accidents and injuries. If they breach this duty and someone is harmed as a result, they can be held liable.
Premises liability claims often involve:
Burnetti, P.A. fights for victims who have been injured due to property owner negligence, helping them pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
Premises liability claims can stem from a variety of hazardous conditions. Some of the most common claims handled by our Winter Haven premises liability attorneys include the following:
Slip and fall accidents are among the most frequent premises liability claims. These incidents can occur when a property owner fails to address hazards like wet floors, uneven surfaces, debris, poor lighting, or icy walkways. A slip and fall attorney in Winter Haven can help you prove that the property owner’s negligence caused your injury.
Trip and fall accidents are similar but involve obstacles such as loose carpeting, broken steps, or uneven sidewalks. These hazards often lead to significant injuries, like fractures, back injuries, or head trauma. Property owners have a responsibility to repair or adequately warn of such dangers.
If a property owner fails to provide appropriate safety measures, like proper lighting, functional security cameras, or trained security personnel, they may be liable for crimes or assaults that occur on their property. These negligent security claims are especially common in apartment complexes, parking garages, hotels, and retail establishments.
Items falling from shelves, ceilings, or elevated platforms can cause serious injuries to unsuspecting visitors. This is particularly common in retail stores, warehouses, and construction sites where proper storage protocols were not followed.
Florida’s warm weather and abundance of swimming pools can sometimes lead to tragic accidents. Property owners are responsible for following strict safety standards, including fencing requirements, proper signage, and regular maintenance, to prevent drownings and other injuries.
If a visitor is injured by an owner’s pet on their property, the owner may be held liable—even if the animal had no prior history of aggressive behavior. These cases require an experienced attorney to establish clear liability under Florida’s premises liability laws.
Issues like broken elevators, poor lighting, faulty wiring, or collapsing structures can create significant dangers. Property owners and managers must address—and repair—these hazards to protect visitors. Failure to do so can lead to life-altering injuries.
No matter the type of incident, Burnetti, P.A. has the expertise to investigate your claim and determine liability, ensuring you receive the compensation needed to recover from your injuries.
