Were You a Victim Due to Other’s Neglect? Call John D. Fernandez, P.A.

Premises Liability law by JohnDFernandez.com

Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions. When they fail to address hazards like uneven flooring, wet surfaces, or broken sidewalks, it can result in a ‘fall down’ claim (commonly called a slip and fall). Navigating these cases requires an attorney experienced in Florida’s complex premises liability statutes.

Insurance Companies Know Which Attorneys They Don’t Want to Face

Our firm is recognized for its professional approach to negotiating premises liability claims. When you trust us with your case, we conduct thorough investigations to identify all liable parties to ensure no potential source of recovery is overlooked. Sometimes it’s the building owner, other times it’s a property management company or landlord, sometimes it’s the tenant, and there are cases where multiple parties are liable for an accident.

How Can I Evaluate if I Have a Case?

We evaluate whether a property owner failed to implement reasonable safety and security measures. If their negligence led to an injury or allowed a preventable crime to occur, they may be held civilly liable. We handle a variety of premises cases, including:

  • Slick floors
  • Uneven walkways/pavement
  • Dark hallways/staircases
  • Loose stairs or railings
  • Unmarked hazards like steps, ramps, and glass dividers
  • Open manholes
  • Open elevator shafts
  • Sink holes

We can also help if you’re a victim of a crime that happened due to unsafe conditions. A few examples include:

  • An unlit hallway that allows a criminal to hide and attack you.
  • A broken door lock you reported to management but your landlord didn’t fix.
  • A tenant known to management as a problem tenant who should have been evicted who injured you.
