Tampa & Orlando Premises Liability Attorney
Every person who steps onto someone else’s property deserves to feel safe, but when landlords, business owners, or property managers cut corners, visitors can pay the price. As a committed premises liability lawyer, Jonathan De Armas helps our clients across Central Florida stand up for their rights and recover the support they need to move forward.
How Florida Law Protects You on Someone Else’s Property
Florida Statute 768.075 requires property owners to maintain reasonably safe premises for invited guests. They must:
- Inspect Regularly: They must actively look for dangerous conditions, not just wait for someone to get hurt and then claim they didn’t know about the hazard.
- Fix Known Hazards: When they discover dangerous conditions, they have a duty to repair them promptly or rope off the area until repairs can be made.
- Warn Visitors: If they can’t immediately fix a problem, they must provide clear warnings—like wet floor signs or barriers around construction areas.
- Maintain Adequate Security: In areas where criminal activity is foreseeable, they must provide reasonable security measures like proper lighting, working locks, or security personnel.
Your legal rights as a visitor depend on why you were on the property. Florida law offers the strongest protections to “invitees”—customers, tenants, or business guests—requiring property owners to actively inspect for dangers, fix hazardous conditions, and warn you about risks they can’t immediately address.
When Property Owners Fail – We Handle the Fallout
Property owners who cut corners on safety put innocent visitors at risk every single day. When basic maintenance gets ignored and warning signs go unposted, ordinary visits turn into life-changing accidents. These situations take many forms; our premises liability lawyer handles:
No matter which type of accident brought you here, the bottom line is the same: property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises safe, and when they fail, you deserve injury compensation.
