Holding Property Owners Accountable for Unsafe Conditions in Florida

Property owners in Florida have a legal duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions for visitors. When they fail to do so, serious injuries can occur.

Premises liability law allows injured individuals to pursue compensation when unsafe property conditions cause harm. These cases often involve slip and fall accidents, but they also include a wide range of dangerous conditions.

The Miami Shark P.A. represents injured clients in Miami and throughout Florida who were harmed because a property owner failed to act responsibly.

What Is Premises Liability?

Premises liability refers to the legal responsibility property owners and occupiers have to maintain safe environments.

In Florida, the level of duty owed depends on your status on the property. Most cases involve “invitees,” meaning customers, tenants, or guests who were lawfully on the property.

Property owners must:
  • Inspect their property for hazards
  • Correct dangerous conditions within a reasonable time
  • Warn visitors of known risks
When an owner fails to meet this duty and someone is injured as a result, the injured person may have a legal claim.

Common Types of Premises Liability Cases

Premises liability claims arise in many settings, including grocery stores, apartment complexes, office buildings, hotels, and parking garages.
Common cases include:
Common Types of Premises Liability Cases
Slip and fall cases often result from:
  • Wet or slippery floors
  • Spilled liquids
  • Uneven pavement
  • Poor lighting
  • Broken tiles
Florida law requires proof that the property owner had actual or constructive knowledge of the dangerous condition and failed to correct it.

Negligent Security

Property owners may be responsible for failing to provide reasonable security in areas where criminal activity was foreseeable. This can include inadequate lighting, broken locks, or lack of security personnel.

Falling Objects

Items falling from shelves in retail stores or unsecured materials at construction sites can cause serious head and neck injuries.

Structural Hazards

Broken staircases, unstable railings, exposed wiring, and other structural issues can create dangerous environments for visitors and tenants.

What Must Be Proven in a Premises Liability Case?

To succeed in a premises liability claim in Florida, you generally must show:
A dangerous condition existed on the property.
The property owner knew or should have known about the condition.
The owner failed to correct or warn about the hazard.
The hazard caused your injuries.
In slip and fall cases involving transitory foreign substances, Florida law requires specific proof that the business had knowledge of the condition.

These cases often depend on surveillance footage, maintenance records, witness statements, and incident reports. Acting quickly helps preserve this evidence.

Compensation Available After a Serious Crash

If your injuries meet Florida’s legal threshold, you may recover compensation for:
  • Medical expenses
  • Future medical care
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage

In fatal accidents, surviving family members may pursue a wrongful death claim under Florida law.

Each case is unique. We provide a realistic assessment of potential recovery based on the facts and evidence.

Injuries Commonly Seen in Premises Liability Claims

Unsafe property conditions can lead to serious injuries, including:
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Fractures
  • Spinal injuries
  • Torn ligaments
  • Severe bruising and soft tissue damage
Some injuries require surgery or long-term rehabilitation. Others may affect your ability to work or perform daily activities.

Medical documentation plays a key role in establishing the full impact of the injury.

Compensation Available in Premises Liability Cases

If you were injured because of a property owner’s negligence, you may be entitled to recover compensation for:
  • Medical expenses
  • Future medical care
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
In cases involving permanent injuries, damages may reflect long-term financial and physical consequences.

The value of a claim depends on the severity of the injury and the strength of the evidence showing negligence.

Why Premises Liability Cases Require Strong Legal Strategy

Property owners and their insurance carriers often argue that:
  • The hazard was open and obvious
  • You were not paying attention
  • The condition developed moments before the accident

These defenses require careful investigation and preparation.

The Miami Shark P.A. reviews incident reports, maintenance logs, and available video evidence. When necessary, we work with experts to reconstruct how the incident occurred and demonstrate that the property owner failed to meet legal obligations.
