Naples, Florida, Premises Liability Lawyer: Fighting Against Dangerous Conditions
Anyone who maintains a premises open to the public is required to maintain his or her property in a safe condition. This area of law is known as premises liability, and it applies to stores, shopping malls, parking lots and the common areas of condominiums such as pools and garden areas.
I’m Christopher Mast, a personal injury attorney in Naples, Florida. I often represent people who have been injured on someone else's property in Collier, Lee and Hendry counties in southwest Florida. I also represent families who lose loved ones in drowning accidents, shootings and other accidents.
Slip-and-fall injuries
In southwest Florida, slip-and-fall injuries often occur on marble floors or other floor surfaces that become slippery when wet. To prevent injuries to shoppers, store owners are required to clean up spills promptly and to place warning signs where floors are wet or slippery.
Security negligence
When business knows or should know that crime is a problem in the area, they are required to take reasonable steps to safeguard shoppers. Reasonable steps may include installing lights or video cameras, hiring private security guards or asking local police to make extra patrols in the area.
Swimming pool accidents
To prevent children from drowning, swimming pools in Florida must be fenced and have self-closing gates.
Dog bite injuries
When you own a dog in Florida, you are the insurer of that dog. If it bites someone, you will be responsible. Children are common victims of dog bites, and they can suffer serious scarring and psychological trauma.
