Do I Have A Premises Liability Case?
After an injury on someone else's property, many people are unsure whether they even have a claim. Premises liability refers to the responsibility that property owners and those who control property generally have to keep their premises reasonably safe for visitors. This can include owners of supermarkets, restaurants, office buildings, apartment complexes, parking lots, and many other places. When they fail to maintain the property, fix hazards, or warn about dangers they know about or should know about, people can get hurt.
Examples of dangerous property conditions include:
- Wet or slippery floors without warning signs
- Broken or uneven sidewalks, walkways, or steps
- Loose railings or inadequate lighting on stairways
- Inadequate security measures in areas with foreseeable crime
Every case is different, and there is no substitute for a detailed review. Property conditions change quickly, and witnesses' memories can fade. If you were hurt on a property in or around Coral Springs, we encourage you to reach out promptly so we can talk about what happened and help you understand whether a premises liability claim may be available.
What Are the Different Types of Visitors on a Property?
When someone is injured on another person’s property, the legal obligations of the property owner often depend on the type of visitor. Understanding these categories can help determine rights and potential claims under Florida law.
Types of property visitors include:
- Invitees: These are people entering the property for a business purpose or other benefit to the property owner, such as customers in a store.
- Licensees: These are individuals who enter the property for their own purposes with the owner’s permission, like a social guest.
- Trespassers: These are people who enter the property without consent. Property owners generally owe the lowest duty of care to trespassers. However, property owners cannot set up traps for trespassers.
Knowing the classification of each visitor can clarify the duty of care owed and the potential for a premises liability claim.
Steps to Take After an Injury on Property
Accidents on another person’s property can be overwhelming, but taking clear steps right after an incident can help protect your health and legal rights.
Simple steps that may help protect your rights include:
- Seek prompt medical attention: Get checked immediately and follow all doctor’s instructions for treatment.
- Document the scene: Take photos of the area where the injury occurred, including any visible hazards.
- Report the accident: Be sure to notify the property owner about the accident and get a copy of the report.
- Gather witness information: Write down the names and contact details of anyone who saw the incident.
- Keep records organized: Save copies of incident reports, medical records, and medical bills for future reference.
- Avoid detailed statements to insurers: Do not give recorded statements or sign documents before speaking with a Coral Springs premises liability lawyer.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire your firm?
We do not charge upfront attorney fees to handle injury cases. Our firm fronts the costs needed to begin work, such as obtaining records. Fees are typically contingent on recovery, which we discuss clearly during your consultation so you understand the arrangement before deciding how to move forward.
What if I was partly at fault for my fall?
You may still have a claim even if you think you were partly at fault. Florida uses a comparative negligence system, which means responsibility can be shared. Your share of fault, if any, can affect the recovery. We review the facts to help you understand how the law might apply.
How long will my premises liability case take?
The length of a case depends on many factors, including the severity of injuries, how quickly you complete treatment, and whether the insurance company disputes fault or damages. Some claims resolve in negotiations, while others require lawsuits. We explain likely timelines for your situation and keep you updated.
