Premises Liability

Unsafe Property Conditions Can Result in Personal Injuries and Security-Related Attacks

At Woodruff Injury Law, we handle claims arising from dangerous property conditions throughout Florida. A claim involving unsafe property, or "premises liability," can be the result of a number of different causes, including poor property maintenance, undisclosed dangers, damage to the property or other dangerous conditions. Public places such as retail stores and amusement parks are frequently accused of having conditions that are dangerous to visitors.

Slip and Fall Accidents Can Cause Serious Injuries

Property owners have a duty to keep their premises in reasonably good condition, and to warn visitors of any danger that the owner knew about or should have known about. Claims may result when private or public property owners knew about, but failed to fix, a dangerous condition that caused injury to a visitor. If someone slips, trips and falls due to a property defect that is undisclosed or difficult to detect, that person might be entitled to recover for the resulting serious injury. Insufficient lighting, environmental hazards and other conditions on public property can cause a visitor to slip and fall as well.

Inadequate Security Measures Can Lead to Physical Assault

In addition to "slip and fall" accidents, premises liability claims can also be based on dangers such as security-related attacks. Inadequate security measures taken by property owners or managers in locations open to the public can result in serious injuries to a victim of an assault or other type of physical attack. We have handled numerous cases on behalf of victims of serious crimes due to unsafe premises and inadequate premises security in private and public buildings.
