Boca Raton Premises Liability Attorney
What is Premises Liability?
Slip and fall accidents can drastically change your life in an instant, resulting in serious bodily injury and having devastating consequences. Unfortunately many slip and fall accidents are preventable and may be due to the negligence of a third party.
Premises liability law in Florida dictates that property owners and occupiers, both private and commercial, are in most cases liable for any accidents, injuries or other incidents that may occur on their property. This is because they are expected to maintain property that is safe and free of dangerous conditions that could lead to injury.

Common Legal Questions About Premises Liability
Premises liability is a legal principle that applies to your case if your injuries were the result of unsafe conditions or property defects. Under Florida law, the owner of a property or the party responsible for the maintenance of the property could be liable for your injuries if they were caused by a dangerous condition on the premises.
Unfortunately the list of types of premises liability is endless, but the most common cases our personal injury attorneys have encountered include:
- slip and fall cases due to inadequate maintenance of the premises
- trip and fall cases due to inadequate maintenance of the premises
- water leaks or flooding
- defective conditions on the premises
- elevator and escalator accidents
- amusement park accidents
If you have been injured on someone else’s property due to the negligence of their inadequate safety measures/property maintenance, you must immediately report it to the proper channels. If you are in a commercial or retail store, it should be reported to the on-site manager. If it is on public property, you can call the local authorities to file a report. Document the incident and your injuries with photos of the scene and witness statements and contact information. Seek medical attention for an evaluation and then call the personal injury attorneys at the Eltringham Law Group to help you file your claim.
In Florida, usually you have four years from the date of the incident to file a legal claim. However, it is best to immediately report the incident and seek legal consult from our attorneys to evaluate your claim. This may also differ depending on the details and location of your incident.
