Keeping Property Owners Accountable

Willis Law, P.A. handles premises liability cases against the following:

• Commercial and residential property owners
• Tourist attractions
• Businesses
• Negligent employers or staff
• Municipalities

In a premises liability case, the main focus will be to prove that the property owner knew about the danger or should have known about the danger, that they failed to fix the problem, and the injury occurred as a result of the unaddressed danger. It’s important to recognize that being injured on the property of another person is not automatically going to be grounds for compensation. In order to gain a successful resolution, you need to turn to a professional with the skill and knowledge needed to effectively argue the claim.

Act Now to File Your Claim

Under Florida Statute §95.11, an injured victim has only four years to file a premises liability claim for negligence. Florida law also has specific classifications for those injured on another’s property, making claims more complex than in other states. Those injured are classified as an invitee, licensee, or trespasser, and property owners has specific liability to each. For example, owners owe the highest duty of care to those legally classified as an invitee, whether the invite was for personal or business reasons. Owners have the lowest duty of care to trespassers, however, they may still be found liable for injuries to those hurt while illegally trespassing.

Further, people may be injured in multiple ways on another’s property. Injuries sustained because of negligent security, animal attacks, improper warnings for non-obvious dangers, neglected or unrepaired issues on the property, and more may qualify you to seek compensation. However, if an owner can prove that you understood and assumed the risks of entering their property, you were injured due to a clear and obvious danger, or you contributed to your own injury, they may not be liable. Our firm will work hard to gather all the evidence of your injury and fight for the full and fair compensation you may be owed.
