Premises Liability

Palm Beach County Premises Liability Attorneys 

stairsPremises liability encompasses such matters as unsafe building conditions, design or structural flaws, dangerous conditions on property or other property problems that cause injuries.  Retail stores, places of business, and property owners are under a legal "duty of care" to ensure their premises are free of hazards to those that enter their buildings or onto their property.  When injuries occur due to disrepair, exposure to dangerous conditions, or lack of proper safety precautions, property owners can be held liable.

At the law offices of Kogan & DiSalvo, our lawyers review surveillance / security camera footage, interview eyewitnesses, and collect evidence from a slip and fall accident scene in order to expose negligence on the part of stores, businesses, parking garages, and retailers.

  • Toxic substances
  • Malfunctioning fire alarms

  • Wet or slippery floors

Attractive Nuisance - Liability and Injuries

Premises liability cases that do not involve slip and falls include attractive nuisance cases and hazardous conditions that put people at risk.  Attractive nuisances involve property items or conditions that by their very nature are likely to attract children or others.  An attractive nuisance can be a private swimming pool that is not properly secured, construction equipment left unattended, or an abandoned building.  When children or others injure themselves as a result of an attractive nuisance, property owners can be held liable, even if those injured were trespassing at the time.

Dangerous Conditions

Property owners, businesses, or retailers who fail to provide a safe environment for customers and patrons can also be held liable for injuries that occur as a result of hazardous conditions on their property.  Exposed wiring, locked fire exits, broken smoke detectors, broken escalators, or inadequate personal security all create liability for property owners when injuries happen as a result.
