Your Questions Answered

Who is responsible for an injury in a premise liability case?

The property owner is responsible for any injuries sustained while on their property. All owners must do what they reasonably can to keep their property safe and avoid being found liable in a premises liability case.

If you were injured on someone else’s property in Florida and plan to file a lawsuit against the owner, you have four years from the date of the injury. After that, Florida’s Statute of limitations will prohibit any legal action.

These documents serve to protect businesses from being held responsible for injuries sustained by customers or participants; however, not all waivers are created equal. For a waiver to be legally valid and enforceable, Florida stands for certain rules:

  • It must contain language that clearly and specifically states the risks and rights.
  • Ambiguous or vague wording will not hold up in court. 
  • Signees must have a clear understanding of what they are agreeing to.
  • Negligence or intentional harm on the part of the business can still result in liability.

The term “premises liability” refers to the legal responsibility of a property owner or occupier to ensure that their premises are free from hazards and safe for visitors. This includes not just physical dangers such as slippery floors or loose railings, but also potential security threats like inadequate lighting or unlocked doors. If a visitor is injured on the premises due to negligence on the part of the owner or occupier, they may be able to file a premises liability lawsuit for damages.

PREMISE LIABILITY

$450,000

James was searching for equipment for painting at Home Depot. In the aisle next to him, there was a worker on a lift stocking the highest shelf. The worker pushed boxes so far across the shelf that they fell off the other edge and hit James in the head. The force almost knocked James unconscious. He sat down and the loud bang got the worker off the ladder to see what fell. When they saw James they offered him a bucket and made a report. James did not recall leaving the store or how he got home. He did not recall much except being at home depot and getting hit in the head. Home Depot told him that it was a small box of dust masks that hurt him. We discovered it was actually a large box of emergency kits that fell off the shelf.
