Trinity Premises Liability Lawyer 

FL Injury Lawyers (Home) / Trinity Personal Injury Lawyer / Trinity Premises Liability Lawyer 

In the state of Florida, property owners are required to provide a reasonably safe environment for guests, patrons, and other visitors. When a visitor is injured on someone else’s property, they may be entitled to compensation. These kinds of lawsuits are known as premises liability.

Homeowners, small business owners and even owners of commercial properties may all be held liable for injuries that visitors sustain on their property. Grocery stores, gyms, movie theaters and amusement parks are all required to maintain safe environments for guests. When this fails to happen, a Trinity premises liability lawyer can be a victim’s best advocate.

If you or someone you love has been injured because of a property owner’s failure to maintain or provide a safe environment, call a compassionate personal injury attorney today to set up a  consultation.

Florida Premises Liability Laws

Florida premises liability lawsuits may name the property owner, the occupier of the property or even the tenant. For example, if a person is injured in a shoe store at the mall, the management company would be responsible for maintaining the public areas of the shopping center, but the individual shop owners are liable for injuries sustained in their stores.

Florida law classifies guests into three categories, depending upon circumstances. The customer in the shoe store, for example, is categorized as a business invitee. They are present in the store because they are shopping for shoes.

The second category is that of a licensee. These are social guests who enter homes and party venues based on the consent of the owner of the property. Anyone who has ever attended a dinner party at a friend’s house is considered a licensee.

The third category consists of trespassers. These are people who were not invited onto the property and should not have been there at the time they were injured. Burglars are trespassers, as are folks who cut through yards to take shortcuts. In all instances, property owners are required to provide a reasonably safe environment. A qualified Trinity premises liability lawyer can attempt to prove that a property owner did not provide a safe environment for visitors.

Types of Premises Liability Cases

There are many kinds of accidents that lead to premises liability cases. Some of the most common types are caused by:

  • Slips and falls on wet floors that were not marked with a caution sign
  • Trips downstairs that are not properly lit
  • Dog bites
  • Inadequate security leading to assault
  • Trips over uneven flooring or carpeting
  • Lead paint poisoning
  • Swimming pool accidents
  • Porch collapses

These accidents are all likely to happen when a property owner fails to maintain a safe environment for guests. Victims injured in such incidents should consult with a skilled Trinity premises liability attorney for guidance.

Speaking With a Premises Liability Lawyer

If you were injured in an accident on someone else’s property, chances are good that you are shouldering the financial burden of the incident. Perhaps you required medical attention, surgery or ongoing physical therapy. Perhaps you needed to take several days off of work to recuperate. Perhaps you can no longer perform duties at work the way you once could.

No accident victim should be suffering financially when their accident was caused by a property owner’s negligence. A Trinity premises liability lawyer can help accident victims understand their rights and legal options moving forward. Contact an attorney today, and know that you are in capable hands.
