Premises Liability
Were you injured while visiting someone else’s property? Depending on the nature of your visit, the type of accident, and the severity of your injuries, you may be entitled to compensation from the landlord, manager, or owner of the property. Under Florida law, all property owners have a “duty of care” to those who visit their premises. This means injury victims have the right to file a lawsuit against a negligent property owner.

If you have questions about what to expect or are not sure whether you can bring a claim, please reach out to us for a free consultation. We will be happy to explain your rights and options.

One of the most common premises liability claims is for slips and falls, where a victim slips or trips on a hazard that should have been cleared by someone responsible for the premises.

While anyone can bring a premises liability claim against a property owner or manager, it’s important to keep in mind that not all visitors are treated equally under the law. For instance, under Florida Statutes § 768.075, trespassers are rarely entitled to receive compensation for injuries, as a property owner has no reason to expect them and thus cannot be considered negligent for failing to warn them of an unsafe condition.
However, if you were expressly invited to enter the property as an “invitee,” you are granted a much higher degree of legal protection for your injuries. Examples of invitees include:
Anyone injured under these circumstances could have a case against the property manager or owner. However, you would first have to prove that the owner was notified about the dangerous condition and did not take reasonable action to address it. That is where our Florida premises liability lawyers come in.
