Pursuing Damages For Florida Premises Liability Injuries

Getting hurt at someone’s home, the grocery store or at one of Miami’s bustling shopping centers isn’t just inconvenient; it could also leave you with a serious injury. You may wonder how you are going to afford medical treatment for your recovery.

If you believe your injury on someone’s property is due to the owner’s negligence, you may have a slip-and-fall or premises liability case. Our team at De Armas & Arriete, LLC, can help determine that liability and aggressively pursue the compensation you need to recover.

Legal Obligations Of Property Owners In South Florida

Property owners in the Sunshine State have a legal duty of care toward their visitors. This duty requires them to regularly inspect their properties and promptly address conditions that could harm anyone on them. When property owners don’t do this, they may be responsible if anyone gets hurt.

Types Of Premises Liability Cases

Premises liability encompasses a broad range of scenarios beyond the common slip-and-fall accidents. Cases can also arise from:

  • Inadequate security: This can result in theft, assault, and other forms of violence and destruction that could occur on the property, which could result in serious injury.
  • Poor maintenance can involve not addressing uneven flooring, faulty equipment, broken doors, leaking roofs, exposed wire, slippery floors, and other hazards that could harm someone.

Understanding the breadth of premises liability is crucial, as it highlights the diverse ways property owners can be responsible for others’ injuries. Want to know if your situation qualifies for a premises liability claim? Call us at 786-600-4437.

The Impact Of A Premises Liability Injury

Any injury you suffer on someone’s property can have long-term effects. Depending on the circumstances, your injury may be severe enough that you require extensive medical treatment and can no longer work due to your condition. All of these costs can add up over time, making recovery difficult to afford for most people. However, by pursuing a premises liability claim against the negligent party, you can obtain the compensation necessary to treat and recover from your injury. Additionally, suppose your injury leaves you unable to do your current job. In that case, you can use any money you obtain from your claim to train for a different line of work.

How To Tell If You Have A Slip-And-Fall Or Premises Liability Case

Here is what you typically have to demonstrate:

  1. The property owner had a duty of care toward you
  2. The property owner violated that duty of care
  3. What evidence there is that demonstrates the property owner’s negligence
  4. How the duty of care, along with the evidence given, resulted in your injury

We can help you with these determinations and help you gather the evidence necessary to make a compelling claim.
