Palm Beach Gardens Legal Representation for Premises Liability Victims

Property owners, whether commercial businesses, landlords, or private homeowners, have a legal responsibility to maintain safe premises for guests, customers, and visitors. When they fail to meet that duty and someone is injured as a result, they can be held liable under Florida’s premises liability laws. At Schwed, Adams & McGinley, P.A., we represent individuals who have been injured due to dangerous property conditions in Palm Beach Gardens and throughout Florida. With over 200 years of combined litigation experience and more than $500 million recovered for injury victims, our team is equipped to handle the most challenging cases and win.

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 premises liability lawyer 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.
