What Is Premises Liability?

Premises liability is a legal concept that holds property owners responsible when dangerous conditions on their property cause injuries.

Florida law requires property owners and businesses to maintain reasonably safe premises for visitors. When a hazardous condition exists and the owner fails to correct it or warn visitors, they may be liable for resulting injuries.

Premises liability claims commonly arise from hazards such as:

• Uneven sidewalks or broken pavement
• Poor lighting in stairwells or parking areas
• Unsafe swimming pool areas

These incidents can result in serious injuries including fractures, head injuries, spinal injuries, and permanent disabilities.

Evidence in these cases may include surveillance video, maintenance records, incident reports,
photographs of the hazard, and witness testimony.

Visitor Status Under Florida
Premises Liability Law

Florida law recognizes several categories of visitors, and the duty owed by a property owner may depend on the visitor’s legal status.

Invitees

Invitees include customers, hotel guests, tenants, and others invited onto property for business or public purposes.

Property owners owe invitees the highest duty of care and must regularly inspect the property for dangerous conditions.

Licensees

Licensees are individuals who enter property with permission but for their own benefit rather than the owner’s benefit.

Property owners must warn licensees about known hazards that may not be obvious.

Trespassers

Trespassers enter property without permission.

Property owners generally owe a limited duty of care but cannot intentionally harm trespassers or create traps designed to cause injury.
