Premises Liability
Holding property owners responsible for unsafe conditions on their premises
Premises Liability Attorney In Orlando, Florida
What Is Premises Liability?
Property owners and managers have a responsibility to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition for guests, customers, and visitors. When hazardous conditions are left unaddressed—such as slippery floors, loose fixtures, or falling objects—serious injuries can occur. In many situations, the property owner may be responsible for covering the losses suffered by an injured person.
Florida premises liability law is based on the principle that property owners owe a duty of care to those lawfully on their property. When that duty is not met and an injury results, the injured party may have the right to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and other damages.

What Kinds of Situations Qualify as Premises Liability?
A property owner may be held responsible for injuries caused by hazardous conditions that are not addressed within a reasonable period of time. Common examples include poor lighting, obstructed walkways, torn carpets or mats, loose stairs or handrails, malfunctioning elevators, and uneven steps. Slippery surfaces can also pose serious risks when proper warnings or cleanup measures are not in place.
Liability often depends on whether the property owner knew—or should have known—about the dangerous condition and failed to correct it. For example, if a spill occurs and the owner had no reasonable opportunity to discover or address it, responsibility may be disputed. Because these cases depend heavily on timing, evidence, and specific circumstances, taking action promptly is important.

What Should I Do If I Have an Accident on Someone Else’s Property?
After an injury on someone else’s property, your first priority should be seeking medical attention. Be sure to keep all medical records, bills, and any documentation related to your treatment, as these may be important later. If you are able, return to the location of the accident and take photographs of the conditions that contributed to your injury. If you’re unable to do so, ask a trusted family member or friend to help gather this information for you.
If the injury occurred at a business or on property owned by an organization, request that an incident report be completed and make sure you keep a copy for your records. These steps can help preserve important details while they are still fresh.
