Central Florida Premises Liability Lawyer

You didn’t see the water on the floor and there wasn’t a warning sign. After taking a step, slipping, and falling hard to the floor, you now have costly medical bills because of your injuries and you lost income because you couldn’t work.

This is a classic premises liability case and the property owner should be held accountable for their negligence. A central Florida premises liability lawyer from Dismuke Law can fight for your compensation while you focus on healing.

What is Premises Liability?

Property owners must provide reasonably safe grounds for guests of their establishment, their employees, and even trespassers. If a property owner fails to maintain or repair the premises, their negligence can result in injuries to anyone on their property.

For instance, failing to properly warn guests about a wet floor can result in a bad fall, a foreseeable accident in this case. You were hurt and required medical treatment and may have had to miss work to recover. These losses require compensation from the liable property owner, making this a premises liability case.

Causes of Premises Liability and Potential Injuries

Several types of potential injuries could occur on commercial and residential properties, including:

• Dog bites
• Defective products
• Inadequate lighting
• Falling objects
• Negligent or insufficient security
• Exposure to chemicals
• Fires
• Weak structural integrity

Any of these unsafe conditions could result in serious injuries, including:

• Broken bones
• Cuts and bruises
• Head injuries
• Puncture wounds
• Burns
• Hearing and vision loss
• Paralysis
• Neck and back injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Loss of limbs

If you or someone you love were hurt on the premises of a negligent central Florida property owner, you may have a case for compensation, which a lawyer can help you pursue.

You Have a Limited Time To Act in Central Florida

In Florida, you have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit for compensation in a premises liability case according to Florida Statutes § 95.11. You don’t have to rush, but consulting with an attorney as soon as possible after your accident allows us to investigate while the incident and the scene are fresh.

You have only two years to file a wrongful death lawsuit, so time is certainly a factor you must consider if you lost someone you love.

Once these deadlines pass, you could lose your right to file a lawsuit. Our premises liability lawyers can work to meet the statute of limitations so you don’t lose this right.
