Orlando, FL Premises Liability Lawyers

Dedicated Attorneys for Injuries Caused by Property Owner Negligence in Orlando, Florida

People who are injured in accidents that take place on property owned by someone else may be unsure about what to do next. In these situations, it is important to understand that property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition and protect visitors from preventable harm. When they fail to uphold this duty, and someone is injured as a result, the injured person can pursue a premises liability claim. These cases can arise in a wide range of settings, from hotels and resorts to restaurants, shopping centers, amusement parks, and private residences.

When injuries are caused by unsafe conditions in a public location or private property, and the negligence of the property owner or tenant was to blame, The Doan Law Firm can help victims obtain compensation for their damages. We represent clients in a wide variety of premises liability cases, and we work to hold negligent property owners accountable while helping victims recover the compensation they need to move forward.

Legal Responsibilities of Property Owners in Florida

Under Florida law, property owners and occupiers must take reasonable steps to prevent foreseeable injuries to people who are lawfully allowed to be on their property. These may include customers at stores, guests at hotels or resorts, or people who visit private residences.

When filing a premises liability claim, our lawyers will work to prove that:

There was a hazard on the property that put the safety of visitors at risk.
The property owner or manager was aware of the danger or should have known about it.
The owner failed to correct the hazard or warn visitors about the potential risks.
The victim suffered injuries as a direct result of this negligence.

Types of Premises Liability Cases We Handle

Premises liability can apply to a wide range of incidents and locations. At The Doan Law Firm, we represent clients in cases involving:

Hotel and Resort Injuries

Orlando's tourism industry includes countless hotels and resorts. When the owners of these establishments fail to protect the safety of guests, serious injuries can occur. These cases may involve issues such as unsafe stairways or elevators, negligent security, and injuries in hotel pools or spas.

Swimming Pool Accidents

Property owners must make sure pool areas are properly maintained, provide adequate supervision, post safety warnings, and comply with Florida's pool safety regulations. Swimming pool accidents and injuries may be caused by issues such as slippery surfaces, broken ladders, or missing drain covers.

Drowning Accidents

Drownings can occur at public pools, private homes, hotels, water parks, or other locations. Owners may be liable for failing to install required fencing, provide supervision for children, or maintain safe pool conditions.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Some of the most common premises liability claims involve slip and fall accidents, which can happen due to wet floors, uneven walkways, poor lighting, or a lack of warning signs. Falls often cause broken bones, brain injuries, or spinal trauma.

Negligent Security

Property owners may be liable for failing to provide adequate security in high-crime areas or other locations where customers or guests may be at risk. An owner may be liable for assaults or other incidents in parking garages, apartment complexes, or other locations if these situations could have been prevented through proper lighting, surveillance, or staffing.

Retail and Commercial Property Injuries

Stores, shopping centers, restaurants, or other businesses open to the public must maintain clean, hazard-free environments. Spilled liquids, falling merchandise, or poorly maintained entryways can lead to serious customer injuries.

How The Doan Law Firm Can Help in Premises Liability Cases

Premises liability claims often involve complex legal issues. Property owners and their insurance companies may deny responsibility and claim the victim was at fault, or they may attempt to settle for far less than the case is worth. Our attorneys have the experience and legal insight needed to build strong cases and help our clients recover full compensation for the harm they have suffered.

Our attorneys will investigate incidents, gathering evidence, such as security camera footage, incident reports, photographs of the hazardous conditions on a property, and testimonies from witnesses. We will use this evidence to determine whether a property owner, property management company, maintenance contractor, or another party was responsible, and we will demonstrate that the liable parties failed to meet their legal duty to keep the premises safe or to warn people of hidden dangers.

We will work with medical and financial experts to quantify a victim's losses, including medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and long-term care needs. We will then negotiate with insurance companies to make sure settlement offers will fully address these losses. If necessary, we can take legal action and fight for full and fair compensation in court.
