Premises Liability
When a property owner's negligence causes your injury, premises liability law holds them accountable. These cases turn on proving the owner knew — or should have known — about the danger.
Slip-and-fall and other premises cases are won on evidence: incident reports, surveillance footage, maintenance records, and prompt documentation. That evidence disappears fast, which is why early action matters.
Insurers defend these claims aggressively, often arguing you were careless or that the hazard was 'open and obvious.' I build the factual record that defeats those defenses.

Insider insight into premises claims
Commercial property carriers have well-worn playbooks for minimizing slip-and-fall claims. I know the comparative-negligence arguments they lead with and the documentation that neutralizes them — because I evaluated these exact claims for years.

Ask a QuestionWhat do I have to prove in a slip and fall case?
Generally, that the owner knew or should have known about a dangerous condition, failed to fix or warn about it, and that this caused your injury. Establishing the owner's notice of the hazard is usually the key battleground.
The store says it was my own fault. Does that end my claim?
No. Florida uses comparative negligence, so even if you're found partially at fault you can still recover — reduced by your share. Don't accept a blanket denial at face value.
I was bitten by a dog. Is that a premises case?
Often, yes. Florida law places significant responsibility on dog owners, and these claims are frequently covered by homeowner's or renter's insurance.
