Tallahassee Premises Liability Attorney
// GET THE COMPENSATION YOU DESERVE
Tallahassee Premise Liability Attorneys
Property owners and managers who fail to maintain their premises put occupants and visitors alike in harm’s way. Tallahassee residents frequently suffer life-altering injuries due to all types of property owner negligence, and yet insurance providers routinely fight tooth and nail to deny proper compensation for injuries sustained in premises liability accidents. At Kanner & Pintaluga, we’ll aggressively pursue justice on your behalf and work hard to maximize your potential compensation.
Common Causes of Premise Liability Accidents
- Slips, Trips and Falls: Slippery or uneven surfaces, inadequate lighting, cluttered walkways and other improper maintenance hazards can lead to slip and fall accidents.
- Defective Living Conditions: Broken stairs, faulty handrails, unstable structures and other perilous living conditions.
- Dog Bites: Insufficiently trained, socialized or leashed pets can lead to dog bite accidents.
- Swimming Pool Accidents: Drowning, near drowning and other serious incidents resulting from inadequate supervision or pool maintenance. Young children are especially vulnerable to these types of accidents.
- Elevator or Escalator Accidents: Malfunctioning or neglected elevators or escalators can cause injuries.
- Negligent Security Claims: Failing to install proper security can potentially contribute to assault, robbery, rape and other illegal acts.
- Falling Objects: Objects or debris falling from higher platforms, which is likely to happen if part of the property is under construction.
- Fires: Poor fire safety measures or faulty electrical systems.
How to Prove the Property Owner Was Liable in Your Claim
Because property owners and managers in Florida have a legal duty of care to keep whoever is legally on their property safe, you need to establish in your claim that they failed to uphold that duty. It’s necessary to gather evidence showing they failed to rectify an existing hazard they knew or should have known about, given the age and obviousness of the danger. It’s also necessary to show this failure to act directly led to your injuries.
The attorneys at our Tallahassee premises liability law firm will help you gather thorough evidence to substantiate these points, from medical records and pay stubs showing lost wages to photographic evidence of hazards or notices of dangerous living conditions.
Evidence You Need to Substantiate Your Claim
Getting medical attention promptly after the accident and preserving all records of the diagnosis, treatments and prescriptions is essential to your claim. Not only can they help establish that your injuries are real, but these records can also prove your injuries have significantly impacted your future, and as a result, necessitate fair and total compensation. Photos and videos of the scene of the incident, physical evidence (e.g., torn clothing) and witness testimony if anyone else was present at the time can also help increase your case’s chances of success.
To prove the property owner or manager’s egregious ignorance or denial of the offending hazard, our attorneys will help you collect relevant surveillance footage, maintenance records and similar complaints filed previously against them.
We have the resources and experience to help you build a strong case and fight for the settlement offer you deserve. If the property manager or owner is giving you a hard time about your requests for surveillance footage and maintenance records, we’ll hold them accountable as your aggressive legal representation.

Can I File a Claim if I Was Partially at Fault for the Accident?
In most cases, yes, although your compensation may be reduced as a result. Because Florida follows a comparative negligence system, if you were partially at fault, your compensation could be reduced based on your percentage of fault. However, if you’re deemed to be more than 50 percent responsible for the accident, you may be barred from seeking compensation from the property owner or manager.
