Premises liability covers injuries caused by unsafe or poorly maintained conditions on someone else’s property. This could be anything from slipping on a wet floor to being hurt because of broken stairs or poor lighting. Here are some common examples:
When you slip or trip because of hazards like wet floors or dangerously uneven walking surfaces.
If you’ve been injured because a property lacked adequate security measures, you may be entitled to compensation for the owner’s negligence. For example, if a convenience store has a known history of robberies but fails to improve security, and you’re injured during an attack, the property owner could be held responsible for not taking reasonable steps to protect you.
Injuries caused by hazards such as faulty wiring, structural problems, or poor maintenance. For example, if faulty wiring at a laundromat causes an electric shock, an unsecured beach umbrella is blown by the wind and strikes someone, or a palm frond or coconut falls from an untrimmed tree, the property owner could be liable for any injuries caused by their failure to maintain a reasonably safe environment.

Premises liability cases are often complex and time-consuming. Unlike auto accidents, where liability is typically clear, insurance companies are rarely quick to admit fault in premises cases. They often try to blame the victim, claiming you weren’t paying attention to your surroundings. However, this defense can often be overcome. For example, if you did not notice a spot of water on the floor at a supermarket because your attention was focused on which breakfast cereal to buy, you have a valid argument for why you did not avoid the water that caused you to fall.
Slip and fall cases almost always require litigation, and if you’ve been injured in such an accident, Rico will file your lawsuit quickly and work tirelessly to secure the best outcome possible.
Rico thoroughly investigates the property where your injury occurred. This involves gathering key evidence, identifying who was responsible for maintaining the area, consulting with safety and building code experts, and filing a lawsuit when necessary to access crucial information like store surveillance footage. Rico works to ensure that all responsible parties are held accountable.
Premises liability often require proving that the people in charge of the property knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to remedy to problem. Rico works diligently to establish that the property owner’s negligence caused your injuries.
Rico fights to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and the long-term impact of your injuries. Rico’s goal is to ensure that you receive full compensation for what you’ve endured.

561-801-8966 Yes. Florida now follows a modified comparative negligence standard for incidents that occurred on or after March 24, 2023. This means you can still recover compensation if you are not more than fifty percent (50%) at fault for your own injuries. For incidents before that date, the pure comparative negligence standard applies, meaning your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you, regardless of how the fault is split between you and the defendant.
Compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term care costs. Rico will assess your case and work to recover the maximum compensation available. Keep in mind that the largest factor in determining compensation will be evidence showing how much your life has changed since the incident. If you were active before the injury—perhaps playing in a bowling league, hosting events, or being the primary provider for your family—but are no longer able to do these things, it strengthens your case for a larger monetary award.
The time it takes to resolve a premises liability case depends on its complexity, the property owner’s willingness to settle, and whether the case goes to trial. Many premises liability cases require filing a lawsuit and may take 1 to 2 years to resolve.
If you have suffered a catastrophic injury due to someone else’s negligence, Rico Lively is here to help. With his deep expertise, proven success, and client-centered approach, Rico will fight to secure the justice and compensation you deserve.
