Premises Liability
Property owners of commercial buildings, residential or condominium properties, including Florida marina owners, have a non-delegable duty (i.e., standard of care) to maintain their property and premises in a safe condition and warn invitees of any known dangers on the property that can cause injury. Common premises liability defenses include: open and obvious condition, comparative fault, lack of actual or constructive notice, lack of regularity of similar incidents to impute notice and lack of foreseeability of injury. Our attorneys mastery and understanding of Florida premises liability laws and seasoned courtroom experience handling premises liability claims is why clients retain R+C Litigators.

R+C Litigators have in-depth experience defending retailers, business owners, property owners, including associations and malls, in traditional "slip and fall" or "trip and fall" claims involving personal injury damages allegedly caused by the negligent conduct of the Insured due to hazardous or defective conditions on the property, water or liquid substance on the ground, poor lighting, uneven surfaces, holes in the floor, cracked sidewalks, missing flooring, uneven parking lot surfaces, falling merchandise from shelves or displays, among many other things that can cause injury to an invitee or third party.
