The legal process can be complicated, but a dedicated accident attorney could guide you through your case. Reach out to a Tampa premises liability lawyer today for help with seeking the financial compensation you need.

How is Fault Determined in Premises Liability Claims?

Like most personal injury claims, premises liability cases are often based on a legal theory of negligence. To prove that a property owner is responsible for the injuries you sustained on their premises, you must prove that they failed to exercise reasonable care in keeping you safe. This could be due to a failure to maintain the property or address hazards.

Property owners have a responsibility to remedy unsafe conditions and adequately warn visitors about potential dangers on the premises. This rule applies to hazards that the owner knew or should have known about. If you are pursuing a premises liability claim, it is best to hire a lawyer who could help you establish negligence.

How Can the Status of the Visitor Impact the Case?

Your status as a visitor directly affects the duty the property owner has towards you. If the owner invited you to the building or outdoor space, you are owed the highest duty of care. Additionally, for an accident in a retail store, the business owner would owe you a duty of care as a licensee.

Trespassers may not be able to file suit, as property owners generally have no obligation to warn intruders of hazards or remedy unsafe conditions for people who are not permitted on the premises. A local premises liability attorney could help you determine your legal status in this type of case.
