Premises liability injuries can occur at retail stores, grocery stores, drug stores, office buildings, construction sites, gas stations, shopping malls, parking lots, amusement parks, and virtually any commercial and/or residential setting. Injuries sustained from premises liability accidents can include arm, hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder injuries, back and neck injuries, facial/skin lacerations, burns, scarring and disfigurement, leg, foot, ankle, knee and hip injuries, nerve damage, spinal cord injuries and permanent brain damage (open and closed head trauma) and/or paralysis. If a death occurs as the result of premises liability, the surviving family members of the deceased may be able to file wrongful death charges against the property owner(s).  South Florida premises liability Attorney David I. Fuchs possesses the necessary legal experience to pursue a wrongful death claim.

The owner or possessor of a residence, land or place of business has the duty to exercise reasonable care for the protection of those individuals who are invited to come upon the premises; i.e. individuals visiting for business or pleasure. Those who suffer injuries by a negligent owner or possessor of a dangerous premise may recover damages for lost income, medical expenses and pain and suffering.  South Florida premises liability lawyer David I. Fuchs fights for the legal rights of premises liability victims.

In order to have a premises liability case, one of three things must be proven:

• The owner or employees created the hazardous condition that caused said injury
  
  
• The owner knew about the hazardous condition and failed to take preventative steps, or
  
  
• The condition existed for a long enough time for the property owner to have acknowledged and corrected it. Even if the property owner was unaware of the dangerous condition, they can still be held liable for premises injuries that occur (unless the victim was trespassing).

There are three different classifications in premises liability law, and the property owner’s responsibility to the victim depends on the victim’s classification: invitee, licensee, or trespasser. An invitee is someone who is invited or allowed onto the premises for a commercial benefit or for business transactions, i.e., a customer in a department store. Licensees are invited or allowed onto the premises for reasons other than business or commercial, such as house guests. Trespassers are those who enter property without the express or implied invitation of the property owner. When a property owner is unaware of the presence of the trespasser, they do not have to warn the trespasser of existing dangers on said property. However, if the property owner is aware of the presence of the trespasser, he or she is entitled to exercise reasonable care for the premises safety of the trespasser. South Florida premises liability Attorney David I. Fuchs is standing by to handle your premises liability claim with efficiency and skill.
