Fort Lauderdale Premises Liability Attorney
About Premises Liability
Owners or managers of a property have a responsibility to ensure that their premises are free of safety hazards that might cause injury to guests. For example, homeowners with pools must take reasonable steps to protect visiting children from being harmed while in and around the pool. Similarly, a business or store with a broken staircase, loose tiles or a wet or slipper floor must have warning signs placed around the area to warn visitors of the hazard.
A property owner/manager can be held liable for any injury that takes place on their premises due to a preventable hazard. The only exception to this rule is cases that involve trespassing. Even if an owner/manager is not aware of a safety hazard on the property, it may be argued in court that they should have known about the hazard and taken steps to correct it or warn visitors. If you have suffered injury on someone else's property due to a safety hazard such as:
- Poor lighting conditions
- Poor property maintenance
- Broken facilities (such as stairwells or elevators)
- Slippery or wet floors
- Security failures
- Faulty pool drains, gates and fences
It is advised that you seek the help of a Fort Lauderdale personal injury attorney who pursue fair and full compensation for damages on your behalf.
