Have you been hurt while on someone else’s property? Premises liability refers to the responsibility that property owners and managers have to keep visitors and guests safe; if they fail to take the right measures to do so, they can be held legally liable for the harm that happens to those people. Premises liability is a broad umbrella that covers everything from a dog bite to slipping and falling or even a Go-Kart accident at Andretti Thrill Park.
A Melbourne, FL, premises liability lawyer represents victims like you who have been harmed because of unsafe or hazardous conditions on another’s property. At Tuttle Larsen, P.A., we’re dedicated to ensuring you are fairly compensated for all your injuries, from medical bills to pain and suffering. We offer a free consultation, so please call us today to book yours.
What Does A Melbourne Premises Liability Lawyer Do?
A premises liability attorney helps people who were harmed on another’s property seek fair compensation for their losses after getting hurt. These cases can include:
- Slip or trip and fall due to poorly maintained walking surfaces
- Dog bites or an animal attack
- Harm due to inadequate security, such as defective locks, broken windows, or not enough security guards (such as at a concert venue or nightclub)
- Burns or electrocution
- Accidents on an elevator or escalator
These aren’t the only types of cases our firm handles, just some of the more common ones. If you were hurt somewhere other than your home, our attorneys can explain your legal options.
We gather evidence to prove that the premises owner (or a property manager, like a store owner leasing commercial space or an apartment complex manager) failed to execute proper care for the safety of visitors like you. This could include video surveillance of the property, the safety and maintenance logs of the property, or witness testimony to attest to how your accident happened. Once we’ve investigated your case, we then use our deep knowledge of Florida personal injury laws to make a strong argument for the maximum compensation available in your claim.
Compensation Available In A Premises Liability Claim
After being injured on someone else’s property, you have the right to demand full compensation for all your material losses. There’s a good chance that you required medical care, possibly surgery or physical therapy, to recover. Your settlement can cover that. If you missed work due to the injury, then we’ll demand the full replenishment of your lost wages, even if you used your sick time to cover it.
You’re also entitled to demand fair compensation for your pain and suffering and the emotional trauma you experienced from the incident. Many people develop anxiety after an accident or depression because of their injuries. Although these losses are non-material, they still have value, and we’re also ready to demand fair payment for these.
