What Is Premises Liability?
Property owners in South Florida have a responsibility to ensure their premises are safe for guests and customers. Whether it's a slip and fall incident from a wet floor in a local restaurant or a poorly secured artwork falling onto a hotel guest, the property owners must address and remedy these situations. If they fail to do so, they are liable to compensate those who suffer injuries as a result.
The guiding legal principle here is the duty of care that property owners owe to their visitors. This duty necessitates the prompt repair of any hazardous conditions on their property.

What Kinds of Situations Qualify as Premises Liability?
Any hazard that a property owner does not address in a reasonable amount of time might make them responsible for injuries to their guests. Issues such as insufficient lighting, walkway obstructions, ripped carpets or mats, loose stairs or handrails, malfunctioning elevators, and uneven stair risers should be repaired before a property owner invites guests in. Slippery floors can also lead to accidents. However, if the property owner isn’t aware of the situation that caused the fall, such as when a customer breaks a bottle of soda and does not inform a worker, the owner might not be held liable.
For this reason, it's essential to consult with Tanner Demmery, a personal injury attorney in South Florida, as soon as possible after the accident. Tanner can help you understand what options are available to you. To learn more about whether your situation qualifies as premises liability, reach out to Tanner Demmery today.
