Premises Liability

Many times a property owner or business owner is responsible for the accidents and resulting injuries which occur on their property. Premises liability cases often occur at businesses such department stores, hotels and bars. Property owners have a responsibility to keep their property safe. If you have been injured on someone else’s property, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. Under Florida laws, property owners can be held financially responsible for the injuries they cause.

Some of the premises liability cases we handle are:

Burns/Electrocution
When you or a family member is the victim of a fire or electrocution, we thoroughly investigate the accident and determine if inadequate sprinkler systems, improper wiring or other negligence may be to blame.

Dog Bites
Dog bites often result in significant injuries and disfigurement. Medical bills can be high for treatment of wounds or plastic surgery. Permanent nerve damage and scarring can also occur. Dog bite victims in Florida can recover for past and future medical care, lost wages, and permanent disability or disfigurement.

Negligent security
Parking lots, bathrooms and other locations can present considerable risks for patrons if there is inadequate security. A property owner may be liable for injuries suffered in a robbery, assault or rape if the business failed to provide security, proper lighting or other measures for the safety of their guests.

School/Playground Accidents
Accidents often occur at schools and daycare facilities. Many times these accidents are just that, accidents. Other times, children are needlessly injured as a result of their caregiver’s negligence. Lack of proper supervision is a common cause of these accidents. Other times, teachers are improperly trained. Sometimes, these teachers should have never been hired in the first place. We have the resources to thoroughly investigate whether one of these or other factors caused your child to needlessly suffer injuries.

Slip and Fall
We represent clients injured on slippery floors or hurt due to dangerous conditions on someone else’s property or on their grounds. It is important to retain legal counsel shortly after the accident as spills are cleaned up, safety barriers are built or the property owner corrects the unsafe condition in some other way. In addition, the business may have security cameras that captured the incident. These tapes are often destroyed within days or weeks of the incident.
