How to Handle Premise Liability Cases From Start to Finish in Florida
Landowners generally have a responsibility to maintain their land (and the buildings on their land) in a reasonably safe condition. When they fail to do so, someone may, unfortunately, be injured as a result.
Understanding Landowner Liability for Injuries on Their Property
Whether a landowner is responsible for the injuries sustained by another while on their land depends on many different facts such as whether the person who sustained the injury was a trespasser, licensee, invitee, or even an independent contractor. In other words, the purpose for which the injured person was on the land can determine whether the landowner may be held responsible for the injury. Did the injured person have permission to be on the land? Was he or she there to conduct business? Or purely to socialize? Or perhaps to perform work at the property?

Preserving Evidence in Premises Liability Cases: What to Do After an Accident
The condition of a property can change frequently and within a short period of time. Therefore, it is important to gather and preserve as much information as possible immediately following an accident that occurs on a premises. The sooner certain information is obtained, the better for your potential case. If you should find yourself in the unfortunate situation of having been injured as a result of a dangerous or defective condition on a property, you can improve your chances of recovery by remembering to do the following things:
- If you’re injured, call 911 or ask someone to call 911 for you;
- Take note of your surroundings (whether there is any construction, repair work, or other activity on the property);
- Photograph the condition on the property that caused your injury;
- Gather the names and phone numbers of any people on the premises at the time of your accident, including any owners, managers, employees, etc.;
- Call an experienced personal injury lawyer in order to preserve any other information and protect your rights.
