Boca Raton Commercial Property Liability Lawyer

Table of Contents

Business and commercial property owners must maintain safe premises for customers, employees, and visitors. When they fail to do so, and someone is hurt, they can be held legally responsible for the resulting injuries. Our Boca Raton commercial property liability lawyer can help you pursue justice and recover the compensation you deserve after an accident on a business’s property.

At Werner, Hoffman, Greig & Garcia, our premises liability attorneys handle a wide range of cases, from slip and falls in retail stores to negligent security in office complexes. We know how to hold businesses accountable for unsafe conditions and we fight for your compensation.

What Causes Injuries on Commercial Properties?

Our attorneys who handle commercial property liability cases in Boca Raton frequently see injuries caused by:

  • Failure to maintain flooring, resulting in wet entryways or uneven surfaces
  • Inadequate lighting in parking areas
  • Failure to repair cracked sidewalks or broken steps outside businesses
  • Unsafe merchandise stacking or unsecured shelving in retail stores
  • Poorly maintained elevators and escalators
  • Negligent security resulting in assault or robbery

Each of these examples demonstrate how improper maintenance or management decisions can create hazardous conditions on commercial property.

How Our Attorneys Prove Negligence in Business Property Cases

To succeed in a claim involving commercial property liability, our Boca Raton attorneys must prove that the owner or tenant failed to exercise reasonable care. Negligence may involve ignoring known hazards, delaying repairs, or failing to post warnings about potential dangers.

Evidence that can support your claim may include security or surveillance footage, witness statements, and maintenance or inspection records. Photographs of the unsafe area and medical documentation connecting your injuries to the incident can also strengthen your case.

The state’s comparative negligence rule, Florida Statute § 768.81, may reduce your compensation if you share fault for the incident. However, you can still recover damages if the business is primarily responsible for your injuries.

Compensation You Can Recover for a Business Property Injury

After an accident on commercial property, our lawyers work to recover every category of compensation you are entitled to receive. You may be able to recover damages accounting for your:

  • Medical and rehabilitation expenses
  • Lost income and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

Our legal team carefully documents your economic and non-economic losses, negotiates with insurers, and prepares your claim for trial if necessary. We do not allow a negligent business or property owner to minimize your suffering or undervalue your case.

FAQ

What if I Did Not File an Incident Report Immediately?

You may still have a valid claim. Your Boca Raton attorney can collect other forms of evidence, such as photos, surveillance footage, or witness accounts to support your commercial property liability case.

Can I Sue Both the Property Owner and the Tenant Business?

Yes. Depending on who was responsible for maintaining the premises, you may file claims against the landlord and the tenant.

How Long Do I Have To File a Lawsuit?

You generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim under Fla. Stat § 95.11.

Hear what real clients have to say

As a former member of the US military, specifically special operations, I have been battling the VA for almost 14 years to obtain a 100% rating. Chris Stratton and Melissa Medina were able to get me 100% on the first go around, as my representatives. All I had to do was set the appointment and attend the exam, and they did the rest. I would definitely recommend there dedicated services to our armed forces! Thanks again

I had a hard time writing this review. There is so much I wanted to say. But at the end it comes down to a great attorney Heather Harley. She is what you want and need dealing with the VA.. Attorneys, there are many but few with the compassion and knowledge she has. After many years of not getting anywhere with the VA. she has gotten me to a satisfying outcome. If you are in need of a excellent attorney I recommend Heather Hartley. Once again thank you.

I was very lucky to find the help I needed at Werner, Hoffman, Greig & Garcia. With the great team of Attorney David Batista, his Paralegal Alyssa Stephens, and assistants Yorman Gascon, Juliana Garcia, and Daniela Mantilla! they were able to get me a settlement that was retroactive. Even though I was not really looking for payment just a better rating in this case I received both. I could not be happier with this outstanding team - they truly understand the rights and fight for the compensation that all veterans deserve.
