Statute of Limitations for Premises Liability Claims in Florida
Most Premises Liability Claims are Subject to a 4-Year Statute of Limitations: You must file a claim before a four year statutory deadline ticks away. Our Florida personal injury attorneys will help you secure the evidence, build a case, and take the right steps to maximize your recovery.
Personal injuries caused by someone else’s failure to maintain safe premises can be life-altering. You were healthy and vibrant one minute, and you were dealing with painful injuries, doctors’ appointments, and lost wages the next. Then, there is the emotional toll caused by your personal injury. You might feel angry at the person that caused the injury and depressed and anxious about your physical and financial issues.

Proving Fault in Premises Liability Cases
To prove fault or negligence in a slip and fall case, the victim must prove that the person in charge of the property failed to act in a way that any reasonable person would in addressing the dangerous condition that led to the accident. In doing so, the victim and their legal team must find the answers to some relevant questions that include the following:
Was the hazardous condition present for a long enough time that a reasonably attentive person would have noticed and done something about it?
Did the person in charge of the property create the dangerous condition?
Did the property owner or manager know about the dangerous condition?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then the property owner or manager can be held liable because it can be determined that their negligence caused the dangerous condition to occur or persist. You should note that while you are intent on proving that the property owner or someone who works for them was responsible for the condition that led to the accident, they will be trying to prove that you were at fault instead.

- Uneven Pavement or Flooring: Uneven pavement, flooring, or loose tiles can create tripping hazards.
- Insufficient Handrails: Missing or damaged handrails on stairs or ramps can make it challenging for residents, especially those with mobility issues, to maintain balance and prevent falls.
