Stepping on another person’s property, whether it’s your favorite restaurant, a construction site, a public park, or anything else, shouldn’t be a dangerous action. However, far too many people fail to take care of their property and leave dangerous spills, broken floorboards, hidden hazards, and any number of potentially dangerous things in the way of unsuspecting visitors.
The courts in our state recognize that a property owner has a responsibility to safeguard guests, patrons, and customers against the possibility of injuries. If it can be proven that your accident should have been prevented, then you may be able to recover compensation.

A property owner incurs premises liability through negligently causing or contributing to an accident occurring on the property. Some of the most common injuries caused by this negligence include:
Slip and fall accidents and pedestrian accidents are the most common example, where the victim trips on debris or clutter or slips on a wet or greasy floor, often suffering a severe injury. Such accidents are common in retail stores and restaurants, as well as shopping malls and amusement parks.
Premises liability can be a factor in accidents occurring on residential property as well, such as in dog bites or drowning accidents in private swimming pools.
If the property owner was aware of a hazard and failed to either remove it, place a fence or other barrier around it, or clearly mark it with a warning sign, you will likely be able to claim compensation for your injuries. Even if the owner claims not to have known about the hazard, the courts will consider evidence that he reasonably should have been aware of it.
Our Jacksonville premises liability lawyer will carefully research every aspect of your accident to discover any evidence to support your claim, and is prepared to work tirelessly to help you recover your settlement.
