What Is Premises Liability?

Premises liability is a legal concept that holds property owners accountable for injuries sustained due to unsafe conditions on their property. These cases can arise in a wide variety of settings and involve multiple forms of negligence. Some of the most common premises liability claims include:

Slippery floors with no warning signs
Broken staircases, handrails, or walkways
Poor lighting in hallways, parking lots, or entrances
Negligent security leading to assaults or robberies
Falling merchandise in retail stores
Dog bites or animal attacks
Swimming pool accidents
Elevator or escalator malfunctions

Whether the property is a supermarket, apartment complex, hotel, amusement park, or private residence, a skilled premise liability attorney from our firm can investigate the circumstances of your injury and determine if the owner failed to meet their legal obligations.

Who Can File a Premises Liability Claim?

To bring a valid claim, the injured person must typically be a lawful visitor, such as a guest, customer, or tenant, rather than a trespasser. Florida law also requires the injured party to prove that the property owner:

Knew or should have known about the dangerous condition
Failed to repair it or provide adequate warning
That failure directly caused the injury

These cases require immediate action to preserve evidence such as surveillance footage, witness statements, and maintenance records. Our premises liability attorneys act quickly to secure and analyze this evidence before it disappears.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

In a premises liability claim, you may be entitled to recover compensation for medical bills and ongoing treatment, lost wages and future earning potential, pain and suffering, emotional trauma, permanent disability or disfigurement, and out-of-pocket expenses such as home modifications or assistive devices.

These damages can extend far beyond initial care and often require long-term financial planning. A seasoned personal injury lawyer in Palm Beach Gardens from our firm will work with your doctors, financial experts, and specialists to calculate the full impact of your injury and fight for every dollar you’re owed, both now and in the years to come.
