Upholding Owners' Duty To Prevent Accidents
When a property owner allows people to enter his or her premises the owe a duty under the law to eliminate or reduce any dangers his or her visitors may face.
If a danger exists on property that is open to the public or to paying customers, the property owner has to either remove the danger or give people fair warning. If you were injured by any of the following dangerous conditions, you may be owed compensation:
- Wet tile or sand
- A malfunctioning elevator
- A wind tunnel
- A poorly maintained beach
- Negligent maintenance in general
Fort Walton Beach attorney David M. Simpson is familiar with the facilities in Florida where these sorts of accidents occur and knows the local court system. That gives him an edge in your premises liability case.
Compensation for Assault Victims
One little-known aspect of premises liability is that a property owner may be liable not only for dangers involving the upkeep of the property itself but also for negligent security and other failings that lead to an increased risk of assault, including sexual assault.
Whether you have been injured by a defect in someone's building, patio or beach; or in an assault or sexual assault that could have been avoided if the property owner had taken the proper care; contact the Simpson Law Firm to discuss whether you have a potential premises liability claim.
