Legal Basis of Premises Liability Claims in Florida

At its core, premises liability is a type of personal injury case that focuses on a property owner’s duty to keep the area safe for visitors, guests, and others. Most of these claims are based upon negligence, so you must show four essential elements to recover compensation. A slip and fall attorney can assist with proving:

  • A duty on the behalf of the property owner, occupier, manager, a landlord, tenant, event promoter or other entity in control of the premises;
  • A breach of this duty through careless or reckless maintenance of the property;
  • The breach led to the accident in which you were injured; and,
  • You sustained losses as a result of being hurt.

By proving these sets of facts, you may be entitled to obtain monetary damages to cover your losses in a premises liability case. It’s possible to recover for your medical bills, lost wages and other out-of-pocket expenses. Plus, you could receive amounts for pain, suffering, and related damages.

How Slip and Fall Accidents Happen

In light of the essential elements of a premises liability case, you may understand how negligence can cause injuries. Examples of the breach of legal duty might include:

  • Not making repairs to broken aisles, sidewalks, stairs, driveways, and other surfaces that people might walk upon;
  • Failing to inspect the property for dangerous conditions;
  • Neglecting to clean up spills;
  • Allowing equipment, inventory, debris, and other items to clutter up the space;
  • Leaving loose wiring exposed; and,
  • Many other types of negligence.
