What is a Premises Liability Injury Case?
How do you know if you need a Naples premises liability attorney? Premises liability cases occur when someone is injured on someone else's property. There's a great misconception that people have about these types of cases. Many assume that if they fall in a store or someone else's property that the property owner is automatically responsible for the damages.
If someone slips in a store like Target for example, many believe that the store itself pays for the medical bills and damages. However, that is simply not the case. There's a Florida statute called transitory foreign substances. It is where you have to prove that the store should have known about a hazardous condition and they failed to remedy it. You also have to prove that the store owner was somehow negligent.
Property owners have a couple of obligations under Florida law. The owner has to exercise reasonable care in the maintenance of their property for the benefit of invitees. They also have to warn invitees of a known hazard that is not open or obvious.
Each case is unique and specific and might be difficult to prove. If you are not sure if you have a case, please contact the personal injury attorneys at the Kuhl Law Firm. For more information, go to http://www.kuhllawfirm.com/.
