Boca Raton Private Property Liability Lawyer

Table of Contents

Accidents on private property can leave you facing unexpected medical bills, lost income, and ongoing pain. When a homeowner, landlord, or property manager fails to keep their premises reasonably safe, state law allows injured visitors to seek compensation. Our Boca Raton private property liability lawyer could help you understand your rights and take action after you were injured on the premises.

At Werner, Hoffman, Greig & Garcia, we represent individuals harmed by unsafe conditions on private property. Our premises liability team has extensive experience handling these claims and guiding clients through each stage of the legal process. We focus on building strong cases while you focus on recovery.

What Are the Common Types of Private Property Accidents?

Accidents on private property can take many forms, each potentially leading to a valid liability claim. Our Boca Raton lawyers handling liability claims for injuries on private property often see cases involving:

  • Slip and fall incidents caused by poor maintenance
  • Cracked sidewalks or loose tiles on residential walkways
  • Collapsing decks, stairs, or balconies in apartment complexes
  • Dog bites from unrestrained pets
  • Drownings or near-drownings in private swimming pools

Each situation requires showing that the property owner’s negligence directly caused your injury. We closely investigate the scene, preserve evidence, and establish how the unsafe condition led to your harm.

How Fault Is Determined in Private Property Injury Claims

In Florida, fault is evaluated under a comparative negligence standard. An injured person may recover damages only if they are 50 percent or less at fault. This means your compensation can be reduced if you are found partly responsible for the incident. However, even if you share some blame, the law still allows recovery if the owner’s negligence was greater.

When representing injured people in private property liability cases, our Boca Raton attorneys gather key evidence to prove the owner’s fault. Photos of the hazard, witness statements, and maintenance records all help strengthen your case. Under Florida Statute § 768.81, your damages will be reduced only by the percentage of fault assigned to you.

Recoverable Damages for Private Property Injuries

If you were hurt because of unsafe conditions on private land in Boca Raton, our lawyers could help you recover compensation for both economic and non-economic losses. Our team works to recover damages that reflect the full impact of your accident, such as:

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Costs of physical therapy and rehabilitation
  • Pain, suffering, and diminished quality of life

In severe cases, such as falls leading to permanent disability, we collaborate with medical and financial experts to calculate the lifelong cost of your injuries and pursue a fair recovery.

FAQ

Are Property Owners Liable if Someone Is Injured While Trespassing?

Usually no. As our Boca Raton attorneys could explain, private property owners are not responsible for trespassers’ injuries unless they intentionally harmed them or the trespasser was a child drawn to a dangerous condition, such as an unfenced pool.

What Kind of Evidence Should I Collect After Getting Hurt on Private Property?

Take photos or video of the hazard, get witness contact information, keep medical records, and save any written communication about the incident.

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.
