Premises Liability Claims in Jacksonville
Have you or a loved one been injured on another individual's property? At The Costantino Law Firm, we have the ability to help you file a premises liability claim to pursue damage from the property owner. Under Florida State law, a property owner can be held liable for an accident that took place on his or her property if it can be proven that negligence was involved.
Florida holds the property owner responsible for ensuring that their property is kept safe for guests. As the injured party, you can receive a reduced award if it is proven that you were partially responsible for your injury. If you were injured on another's property, our Jacksonville personal injury attorney can help you prove that you suffered damages as a direct result of the property owner's negligence.
Types of Accidents Resulting in Premises Liability Claims
Premises liability is a type of claim that can result from a variety of accidents and injuries that can occur on another individual's property. Common types of accidents that can fall under the laws of premises liability include slip and fall accidents, swimming pool drowning accidents, and elevator accidents. When there is an uneven portion of a sidewalk or an incident at an amusement park that results in a personal injury, the plaintiff can file a premises liability claim for damages.
Negligent Security Lawsuits in Florida
Premises security lawsuits are similar to premises liability laws and are a fast-growing type of litigation throughout the nation. In a negligent premises security lawsuit, the injured party holds the commercial property owner liable because a violent crime took place on the premises. Property owners are required to take reasonable steps to ensure that their property is safe. When a crime is "foreseeable" and could have been prevented with proper security, the owner can be sued for damages.
