Premises Liability Claim?

If you are injured on someone else’s property, the property owner may be held liable under the premises liability law. This law requires property owners to make a reasonable effort to maintain safe conditions on their property. Broadly speaking, property owners in Florida are obligated by law to maintain their properties in order to protect tenants, employees, customers, clients, and other visitors. If they do not maintain safe conditions and someone is injured as a result, they can be held liable for the victim’s injuries. As a victim, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.

A premises liability claim may arise any time someone is injured on another person’s property due to a hazardous condition. Some of the hazardous conditions that may lead to a premises liability claim include busted locks, broken windows, fire code and building violations, poorly lit staircases and parking lots, wet floors, falling merchandise, and other dangerous conditions.
