Gainesville, Ocala and Bushnell Premises Liability Attorney
Florida Accident & Injury Lawyer
Premises liability claims are those personal injury claims involving injury and accident on another person’s property. A “slip and fall” is the most common form of premises liability accidents; this occurs when a hazardous condition, such as an uneven or poorly lit walkway, causes a person to lose his or her footing and fall. Slip and fall injuries often result in back problems, spinal injury and broken or fractured bones.

Responsibility in a Florida Premises Liability Case
In any Florida premises liability case, the responsibility of the property owner must be proven. Any person or organization who owns property has an obligation to legal visitors to the property. That obligation is to take the necessary, reasonable steps to ensure the property is safe and free from hazards. Or, if a hazard does exist, to ensure the public are warned about the potential danger. Routine inspections and maintenance are how property owners can avoid accidents and injuries from occurring in the first place.
An accident or injury may occur anywhere at any time: at a mall, parking lot, office building, theme park, house, apartment, or retail store. When a property owner or building manager has been negligent in maintaining the property or has not fixed a known problem, this may be used to prove liability in a personal injury claim. Your premises liability lawyer will need to prove this in the insurance claim, in negotiations or in court to help you get the financial compensation you deserve for: medical expenses, lost wages and mental or emotional pain and anguish.
