Premises liability is a legal concept that comes into play when property owners fail to take necessary precautions to protect visitors or residents from known dangers.
For example, if someone is injured due to a property owner failing to post visible warnings of potential danger, they could be held responsible under Florida premises liability law.
Property owners refer to:
- Homeowners
- Small business owners
- Rental properties owners or management companies
- Commercial property operators such as grocery stores, hotels, shopping malls, bars and restaurants, entertainment venues, gym owners, hospitals to name a few.
Visitors to the property are typically referred to as:
- Invitees represent customers doing business or attending a social event in which there is an implied promise that reasonable care has been taken to ensure safe conditions.
- A guest is a welcomed visitor to a property for a short or long-term accommodation or an individual that has been invited to a social event in a home with the reasonable expectation that it is a hazard free environment.
- Licensees enter the property for their own purpose, or as a social guest with the consent of the owner with no implied promise of care.
- Trespassers do so without invitation or welcome and without promise that the premises have been made reasonably safe against the possibility of injury.
