Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should I do if I’m injured on someone else’s property?

    If you are injured on someone else's property, seek medical attention immediately. Document the scene by taking photos of the hazardous condition and gather contact information from any witnesses. Report the incident to the property owner or manager and consult with a premises liability attorney as soon as possible.

  • How can I prove a premises liability case?

    To prove a premises liability case, you must show that the property owner knew or should have known about the hazardous condition and failed to address it. Evidence such as maintenance records, surveillance footage, and witness statements can be critical in building your case.

  • What types of compensation can I receive in a premises liability claim?

    You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any long-term effects of your injuries. The specific amount will depend on the severity of your injuries and the circumstances of the accident.

  • How long do I have to file a premises liability claim in Florida?

    In Florida, the statute of limitations for filing a premises liability claim is generally four years from the date of the injury. However, it's essential to consult with an attorney promptly to ensure all legal deadlines are met.

  • What if I was partially at fault for my injury?

    Florida follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault for the accident. However, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. An experienced attorney can help you understand how this may affect your case.
