Fort Lauderdale Premise Liability Attorney

It is the obligation of property owners to keep their grounds safe and hazard-free. The law requires that they repair any damage and that they make sure there is proper signage warning guests of any areas of danger. However, this obligation is not always met by property owners and when their negligence leads to you or a loved one being injured – you need a highly-skilled and experienced attorney to help you file a premises liability claim.

Our team of professional and compassionate premises liability attorneys can help to gather the evidence necessary to prove that the property owner is liable for your damages and negotiate a fair settlement that keeps your best interests in mind.

Depending on the type of guest that visits a property – the owner is held to a different level of care:
● Those who have been invited. For those establishments, that actively invite the public onto their property. This would include places like the grocery store, bank, restaurants, coffee shops, etc. These establishments should be kept to the highest level of care as the public is invited into them on a daily basis.
● Friends, family members, and social guests. For non-business or commercial visits, the property owner is only liable to repair hazards that he or she is aware of.
● Those who are trespassing. While the property owner is obligated to a significantly lower level of care to trespassers – they are not allowed to create intentional hazards to deter trespassers from coming onto their property.
