Premises liability law makes sure property owners maintain safe conditions to prevent harm to visitors.

Price P.A. is here to advocate for your rights, offering compassionate counsel and a strong defense.

What is Premises Liability?

Premises liability is a legal principle that holds property owners responsible for maintaining safe conditions on their property to prevent harm to visitors. Whether it’s a private home, a business, or a public space, property owners have a duty to makes sure their premises are reasonably safe. When they fail to uphold this responsibility and someone gets hurt, the injured party may have the right to seek compensation through a premises liability claim.

Premises liability covers a wide range of situations, including the following:

Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents are among the most common premises liability cases. They often occur because of hazards like wet floors, spilled liquids, uneven sidewalks, loose rugs, or poorly maintained walkways. Even something as seemingly minor as a misplaced object can lead to serious injuries like broken bones, sprains, or head trauma.

Inadequate Security

Property owners are also responsible for ensuring adequate security measures in areas where crimes such as theft or assault are foreseeable. Poor lighting, malfunctioning security cameras, or the absence of locks and guards can create unsafe conditions that endanger visitors.

Swimming Pool Accidents

Swimming pools are fun but can be hazardous if not properly maintained or supervised. Accidents can happen due to slippery pool decks, broken ladders, or the lack of fencing around the pool, which may allow unsupervised children to access the area.

Dog Bites

If a dog bites or injures someone on a property, the owner may be held liable. In Florida, dog owners are often held strictly liable for injuries caused by their pets, meaning the injured person doesn’t have to prove negligence—just that the injury occurred.

Hazardous Conditions

Hazardous conditions, such as exposed electrical wiring, broken stairs, falling objects, or chemical spills, pose serious risks to anyone on the property. Property owners must regularly inspect and repair their premises to avoid these dangers.

Why Premises Liability Matters

In each of these cases, property owners have a responsibility to either fix unsafe conditions or clearly warn visitors of the risks. For example, placing a “Caution: Wet Floor” sign after mopping can alert people to a hazard and potentially prevent injuries.

If you’ve been injured because of unsafe conditions on someone else’s property, it’s essential to understand your rights. Consulting a West Palm Beach premises liability attorney can help you determine whether the property owner’s negligence caused your injury and if you are entitled to compensation. At William W. Price P.A., we are here to guide you through this process and fight for the justice you deserve.
