Clearwater Premises Liability Lawyer

If you are injured on another’s property in Florida, you may be under the impression that you have no rights and that there is nothing that you can do. However, this may not be true. Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be able to hold the property owner liable for your injuries. Our Clearwater premises liability lawyers can help.

Types of Accidents that Can Occur on Others’ Properties

There is a wide range of accident types that may give rise to a premises liability claim. These accident types include, but are not limited to:

  • Dog bites;
  • Slip, trip, and fall cases;
  • Assault and other violent acts;
  • Criminal acts;
  • Construction site accidents;
  • Retail store injuries; and
  • More.

Helping You to Prove the Liability of the Property Owner

A property owner owes all those who enter their property, with the exception of trespassers, a duty of care – this duty of care is to ensure that the property is kept within reasonably safe condition, to repair known hazards within a reasonable amount of time, or to provide warning of known hazards if immediate remedy is not possible. For example, a property owner may have a duty to fix broken stairs, or to clean up a spilled beverage.

When a property owner breaches this duty of care and harm to a visitor of the property results, the visitor maintains the right to hold the property owner liable for damages if the visitor can prove that:

  • The property owner breached the duty of care owed to the visitor;
  • The breach of the duty of care was the proximate cause of the accident or incident; and
  • The visitor has suffered actual damages as a result.

Our lawyers can help by investigating your case, gathering evidence to prove that the property owner was aware, or should have been aware, of the dangerous condition, and that an unreasonable amount of time passed between when the owner learned of the condition and when your injury occurred (i.e. plenty of time was available to remedy the situation, yet the property owner failed to do so).
