If you or someone you love sustained an injury while on property owned or occupied by another, you have the right to explore the question of liability for the harm done to you.
Dismuke Law’s Riverview premises liability lawyers will work with you to determine if the owner or occupier was negligent and if that negligence contributed to your injury. There are clear-cut steps we follow that can provide the information necessary to file your personal injury claim for full and fair compensation.
What Compensation May Cover for an Injury Acquired on a Property
When you are injured on someone else’s property, you may end up filing a claim for compensation for your losses. The goal of that claim is to help make you financially whole again — to reimburse you for economic losses you suffered due to your injury.
A second goal is to compensate you for non-economic losses, such as the pain and suffering you experience after the accident. You may receive these damages for your injury in Riverview, Florida, and/or others specific to you and your accident:
- Loss of income now and in the future
- Medical costs short- and long-term
- Pain and suffering
- Disability and disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of companionship
The exact dollar amount will be unique to your injury, its severity, and the circumstances that caused your injury. This is an important part of the conversation we have with you when you first come in for a free consultation.
How Our Lawyers Assist in Your Hillsborough County Case
Our attorneys will review the conditions in which your accident occurred to determine if the owner or occupier of the premises was negligent and if that negligence led to your injury. Although, not all premises liability claims require negligence for liability to be assigned to the owner or occupier. Our attorneys will expand on this during your consultation if it is applicable to your case.
Typically, we will look at four essential pieces to help prove negligence:
- Duty of care, where the owner or occupier has a legal obligation to keep the premises safe for those who visit
- Breach of duty of care, where the owner or occupier did not keep the premises safe for others
- The hazard that was not addressed by the owner or occupier that ultimately caused your injury
- Your economic or non-economic losses due to your injury
Our Florida attorneys also take a close look at other elements that might inform the understanding of how your injury came about, including:
- Reports about the incident from official agencies
- Medical notes on your injury
- Visual data, including any still images or video captured by you or witnesses or on-site cameras that show the physical space and existing conditions before and during the accident
- Historical and current maintenance reports on the premises
- Statements from employees and other witnesses
We take all this information and use it to help you fight for your right to recover an appropriate settlement or judgment.

The Cost of Hiring Our Riverview Premises Liability Lawyers
Knowing what your financial outlay will be when you engage an attorney is a critical piece of information for your family’s economic health. At Dismuke Law, we provide a free initial consultation on the phone or in person at our office, or, if you prefer, we will travel to you in Central Florida.
Should you decide to move forward with our Riverview attorneys, we work on a contingency-fee basis, which means you will pay no attorneys’ fees unless we recover a settlement or judgment for you. We do this with the hope of alleviating some financial stress you may be experiencing after your injury.
Statute of Limitations for a Premises Liability Case
The time you have after your injury to file a lawsuit depends on who is at fault, the severity of the injury, or if there was a death and other factors. Our premises liability attorneys will alert you to the time you have before you must file during the initial consultation visit.
Because not filing in time may affect your right to file at all, it’s important to learn about your legal rights as soon after the accident as possible. If you’re unsure of the next steps, just call and Ask Dave.
