In Florida, homeowners and businesses have a duty to make sure their property is reasonably safe and warn visitors of dangerous conditions that may exist. Premises liability, like all other laws, is based on the concept that when individuals act without regard to their duty of care, the victim of an injury caused by that negligence should be compensated appropriately.

Premises Liability Claims in Florida

Often, people have the mistaken impression that wherever they suffer serious injury, they may have a claim against the person who owns that property. However, unless the property has been negligently maintained, under Florida tort law, a property owner may not be liable. However, injuries resulting from poorly-maintained properties are common and can involve:

• Assaults at Commercial Establishments
• Slip & Fall Accidents
• Escalator Accidents
• Poor Road/Sidewalk Maintenance
• Construction Site Accidents
• Negligent Hiring and Retention of Employees
• Unsafe Hand Railings and Stairways

Under Florida law, individuals who are seriously injured because of another person’s failure to maintain their property can recover compensation for their medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering from either the negligent person or business or their insurance carrier. Injuries that occur at work and disabling injuries may also lead to claims and disputes related to workers’ compensation, health insurance, and social security disability.
