Premises liability laws are there to protect victims that are injured when on the property of another.

Common types of premises related injuries include slip and falls, inadequate security, inadequate lighting, trip and fall, and other similar accidents caused by hazardous conditions on a property.

Premises liability laws are based on common law and staturory principles of negligence.

Generally, a property owner, manager, business operator or another party in control of a property has a legal duty to ensure that premises are safe.

As such, when the failure to ensure the safe conditions of a premises results in injury, the property owner or other party or parties in control can be held liable for the resulting damages.

In a premises liability case, injury victims must prove negligence, which essentially means demonstrating carelessness. In simple terms, property owners or operators must manage or control their premises in a way that does not endanger others. In court, a judge or jury evaluates whether a property owner or operator failed to take actions that a reasonably careful person would take or took actions that a reasonably careful person would avoid. If the injured party prevails with its case, property owners and business operators are obligated to compensate for the damages they have caused.

Under Florida law, injury victims must demonstrate that they were lawfully on the premises and that:

• The property owner, manager, or operator owed a legal duty.
• There was a breach of this legal duty.
• The breach of duty caused or significantly contributed to the injury event.
• There were sustained damages and financial losses as a result.

It's one thing to claim there was a breach of duty of care; proving it is a whole different matter.
