Legal Help for Injuries on Unsafe Properties in Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, and Across Florida


Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises safe for visitors. When they fail to do so, serious accidents and injuries can occur. If you or a loved one has been injured due to unsafe conditions on someone else’s property, you may be entitled to compensation under Florida’s premises liability laws. At Lieberman Injury Law, we fight for victims injured by negligent property owners, businesses, and landlords.

What is Premises Liability?

Premises liability refers to injuries caused by hazardous conditions on another person’s property. These claims apply to a wide range of locations, including:


  • Grocery stores and shopping malls
  • Restaurants, hotels, and bars
  • Apartment complexes and rental properties
  • Parking lots and sidewalks
  • Private homes
  • Amusement parks and recreational facilities


If a property owner, landlord, or business fails to maintain safe conditions, they may be legally responsible for your injuries.

Common Causes of Premises Liability Injuries

Hazardous conditions can exist anywhere, and property owners must take reasonable steps to prevent them. Some of the most common causes of premises liability injuries include:


  • Slippery or wet floors
  • Broken stairs, loose handrails, or missing guardrails
  • Poor lighting in stairwells, hallways, or parking lots
  • Uneven sidewalks or pavement
  • Falling objects in retail stores or warehouses
  • Negligent security leading to assaults or attacks


Property owners are responsible for fixing dangerous conditions or warning visitors about hazards that cannot be immediately corrected.

Who Can Be Held Liable for a Premises Liability Injury?

Determining liability in a premises liability case depends on the type of property and the nature of the hazard. Potentially responsible parties include:


  • Property owners who fail to maintain safe conditions
  • Businesses that allow hazards to exist on their premises
  • Landlords who neglect maintenance in rental properties
  • Security companies responsible for protecting visitors
  • Municipalities responsible for maintaining public areas


At Lieberman Injury Law, we investigate who is at fault and hold negligent parties accountable.
