Miami Premise Liability Attorneys
Premise liability accidents can happen anywhere – whether you’re in a supermarket or at the office. These unforeseen accidents often result in devastating injuries that permanently change the lives of people and their families. Even just falling on a wet floor the wrong way could permanently impact your ability to walk and worsen your quality of life.
If you or a loved one has been injured on someone else’s property due to their negligence, we’re ready to support you with aggressive and experienced legal representation. The skilled premise liability attorneys at Kanner & Pintaluga will build a compelling case on your behalf and advocate for compensation that covers the full extent of damages you’ve incurred.
Common Causes of Premise Liability Accidents
- Slip and Falls: Slippery or uneven surfaces, inadequate lighting or obstacles in walkways
- Trip and Falls: Loose carpeting, cluttered walkways or damaged flooring
- Defective Living Conditions: Broken stairs, faulty handrails, unstable structures or uneven walkways
- Elevator or Escalator Accidents: Malfunctioning or poorly maintained elevators or escalators.
- Negligent Security Claims: Failing to provide adequate security measures that result in criminal acts such as assault, robbery or rape
- Dog Bites: Neglecting to properly train, socialize and secure dogs, leading to dog bite accidents
- Swimming Pool Accidents: Drowning, near-drowning or other grave incidents derived from insufficiently maintained or unsupervised swimming pools
- Falling Objects: Objects or debris falling from elevated areas
- Fires: Fires caused by inadequate fire safety measures or faulty electrical systems
What Do I Need to Prove in My Premise Liability Case?
The property owner has a legal duty of care to keep their property safe and habitable for legal visitors and tenants alike. For your claim, you need to show that the property owner failed to fulfill that duty, as they knew or should have known about but failed to address any dangerous conditions that existed at the property for a prolonged period of time.
You also need to provide evidence that those hazards directly caused your injuries and, in turn, those injuries have cost you tangible damages. Evidence can include surveillance footage, photos and video of the incident, eye-witness testimony, medical records, the premises maintenance records and previous complaints or lawsuits brought against the property owner.

What Defenses Can Property Owners Use Against You in a Premise Liability Case?
Premises liability cases can not only cost property owners a lot financially but could also harm their reputation. As such, they will work hard to devalue your claim by using a variety of defenses. Property owners and their legal teams may claim that they couldn’t address the hazard that caused your injury because they weren’t made aware of it, didn’t have control over the area where the accident occurred or that it was visible enough that anyone reasonable person should have been able to successfully avoid it.
The property owner may try to allege you bear the fault for your own injuries due to your own inattentiveness. Because of Florida’s comparative negligence system, if successful, they could cut your compensation down significantly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Premise Liability Cases
What should I do if I'm injured on someone else's property?
As with all types of personal injuries, seeking medical help should be your highest priority if your injuries are serious. However, a common defense property owners use in these cases is questions regarding your presence on the property. You should immediately report the injury to the business or property owner if you’re physically capable of doing so and demand the injury be documented. Ideally, try to get a copy of the incident report for your records.
Failure to establish that you were on the property when the accident and injury occurred can complicate your claim.
Document the scene, your injuries and gather any available evidence (such as photographs, witness information, etc.).
Who can be held liable in a premises liability case?
Property owners, landlords, tenants, property management companies and even businesses operating on the premises can potentially be held liable for injuries that occur on their property.
What compensation can I receive in a premises liability case?
If you win a premises liability case, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress and other damages related to your injuries.
