Premises Liability

Under Florida law, property owners are responsible for ensuring that their premises are maintained in a reasonably safe condition. These premises include (but aren’t limited to) homes, businesses, stores, restaurants, and supermarkets. Premises liability is the general term that covers different types of injuries and accidents that occur on someone’s property. Some common types of premises liability cases include the following situations:

• Slip and Fall: A grocery store fails to mop up a wet floor, and a customer slips and falls as a result.
• Inadequate Maintenance: A tree branch falls and injures a passerby due to the property owner’s lack of property maintenance.
• Defective Conditions: The owner of a store doesn’t repair a broken staircase and fails to warn patrons of the danger.
• Inadequate Security: Patrons are not warned about dangerous criminal activity taking place on the premises of a property and adequate lighting is not installed.
