Premise liability is the legal responsibility that a property owner, or tenant has to their clientele or visitors. This means that if the property is unkempt and unsafe and someone gets hurt you could be entitled to financial compensation for their negligence. This does not mean that any injury on a property is tied to negligence. In order to successfully litigate premise liability cases, your Miami personal injury lawyer must prove that the property was unsafe, and the owners were aware of that, therefor making the property owners negligent and liable for the accident. Premise liability does not only extend to accidents associated with the condition of the physical property, but also negligence when it pertains to animals on the property (for more info on dog bite liability click (here) for both of these cases a Miami personal injury lawyer is needed. When renting property premise liability usually falls on the tenants of said property, unless the tenant was the affected party, or it was the landlords contractual responsibility.
However, visitors do have the responsibility of practicing reasonable care to keep themselves safe. Premise liability also applies to the city, if you were hurt due to negligent construction zones, uneven and unsafe roads, or unkept public property, the city may be liable for your accident. When these cases happen, you should contact a Miami personal injury lawyer as soon as possible because there is a time limit for these cases. In Florida, the statute of limitations is controlled by Florida Law 95.11. According to this law, all premise liability cases involving personal injury must be brought within 4 years from the date of injury. These means that getting help from a Miami personal injury lawyer as soon as possible is of utmost importance.
