Premises Liability

Property owners in Florida have a duty to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition for people who are lawfully on the property — and in some cases, even for trespassers. This duty extends not only to the property itself but also to the staff of a business.

Premises liability cases include slip and fall accidents, negligent security (such as a bouncer using excessive force or a hotel failing to stop a deadly incident), potholes in parking lots, negligent staffing (like a daycare employee injuring a child), and many other types of injuries. If you’ve been injured while on someone else’s property, the attorneys at McCulloch Law, P.A. can help you evaluate your case.

Each year, thousands of people are injured while in the home of another, whether it be a friend, family member, or neighbor. Many times, your injury will be covered by the homeowner’s insurance of the property owner. When someone invites you into their home, they have a duty to ensure your safety and to warn you of all known dangers. If you’ve been injured in someone else’s home, you may be entitled to compensation through their homeowner’s insurance. Our attorneys can investigate the claim and advise you on available coverage and potential compensation amounts.

After an injury on someone else’s property, notify the manager or homeowner. If the incident occurred at a business, request an incident report and the full name of the store manager, and obtain a copy for your records. Document your injury and the scene with photographs. Seek medical treatment promptly to ensure proper care and documentation. Do not speak to any insurance company or risk management department without an attorney, as they may attempt to settle quickly to minimize liability.
