PREMISES LIABILITY CASES

In Florida, premises liability law holds property owners and occupiers accountable for injuries that occur on their property due to unsafe conditions. This includes slip and fall accidents, which can happen when floors are wet, uneven, or cluttered, or when there are hazardous conditions like poor lighting or obstructed walkways. Trip and fall accidents also fall under premises liability, typically caused by uneven flooring, broken stairs, or improperly maintained pathways. Property owners are legally required to maintain a safe environment for visitors, whether they are guests, employees, or customers. If these duties are neglected, injured individuals may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages resulting from the accident.

​

In Florida, slip and fall and trip and fall accidents can be especially complex due to the state’s specific laws around property owner liability. To prove a premises liability case, the injured party must show that the property owner knew or should have known about the hazardous condition and failed to address it in a reasonable time. This often requires thorough investigation and expert testimony, which can be challenging without legal representation. A lawyer experienced in premises liability can gather evidence, track down witnesses, and handle negotiations with insurance companies, helping to ensure that victims are not unfairly blamed for accidents that were not their fault.
