In Florida, the care that a property owner is obligated to depend on the affiliation or connection an injured person has to the property.

What to do after an injury from a premises liability accident in Florida

If have sustained an injury on a commercial property, we recommend that you never say anything that would indicate the fall was your fault or due to your own negligence. In addition:

  • Report the incident to management and obtain a copy of the incident report
  • Take pictures of your injuries
  • Get medical treatment so your injuries are documented and treated
  • Keep all receipts for medical treatment, medications and any out of pocket expenses that result from the incident

It is the injured person’s burden of proof to prove that the property was in an unreasonably dangerous condition. Proper testing of surfaces and in depth analysis of multiple building codes are paramount to meeting this burden of proof.
