Premises Liability in Tampa

Don’t let someone else’s negligence go unchallenged

What Is Premises Liability?

Premises liability means property owners must keep their spaces safe for visitors. If you slip, trip, or get injured on someone else’s property due to unsafe conditions, you may have a right to compensation.

Common Examples of Premises Liability Cases

➞ Slip and fall accidents in stores, restaurants, or parking lots.

Slips or trips can happen anywhere, but are especially common in places where spills or debris aren’t cleaned up promptly. Businesses must keep walkways clear and safe for everyone.

Wet floors without proper warning signs

A freshly mopped floor or accidental spill should always have a clear warning sign. When this is missing, dangerous slips can happen, leading to serious injuries.

Broken stairs or unsafe walkways

Stairs and walkways should be regularly maintained. Broken steps, loose railings, or uneven flooring can cause unexpected falls and injuries.

Poor lighting leading to accidents

Dim or broken lighting makes it hard to see hazards in hallways or stairwells, increasing the risk of tripping or falling.

Accidents in apartment complexes or rental properties

Landlords are responsible for promptly fixing hazards in common areas. Failing to do so puts tenants and visitors at risk of accidents.
