Premises Liability Claims in Putnam County
When you go to the grocery store, visit a friend’s home, or take a walk through a public park, you expect a reasonable level of safety. And, in fact, under Florida premises liability laws, property owners have a duty to ensure your safety by conducting proper maintenance and removing, repairing, or warning others of dangerous property conditions. When they fail to do this, you can be seriously hurt.
If you were recently injured on public or private property, and you believe the property owner’s negligence is to blame, we can help. At the Law Offices of Ron Sholes, P.A., our Palatka premises liability lawyers represent clients throughout Putnam County in complex personal injury claims. We have over a century of combined legal experience and work with a team of 6 in-house investigators and over 100 support staff members to provide our clients with the personal attention, dedicated support, and aggressive advocacy they deserve.

What Is a Premises Liability Claim?
A premises liability claim (or lawsuit) is brought against a property owner or another liable party, such as a property manager or landlord, for injuries sustained due to unsafe conditions on the property. In other words, if you are hurt on public or private property because of a hazardous condition, you could have grounds for a claim. You will need to prove, however, that the property owner knew about (or should have known about) the hazardous condition yet did nothing to properly remove, repair, or warn others about it.
Examples of common premises liability cases include:
- Slip and falls
- Dog bites
- Negligent security
- Swimming pool accidents
- Poor/lack of property maintenance
- Elevator and escalator accidents
- Defective property conditions
- Explosions and fires
- Flooding and water leaks
- Toxic exposure
- Amusement park accidents
Do Florida Property Owners Owe a Duty of Care to Trespassers?
Property owners in Florida owe different duties of care to different types of visitors. While they do not owe a specific duty of care to trespassers (those who enter the property without permission), they do have a responsibility to refrain from causing trespassers intentional harm.
Additionally, under the state’s attractive nuisance doctrine, Florida property owners can be held liable for injuries suffered by children/minors who are not legally allowed to be on the property but are drawn by certain things that a typical person could reasonably expect might attract children or teens. For example, if a homeowner fails to install a proper barrier (i.e., fence) around their swimming pool and a child drowns after falling into the pool, the property owner could be held liable even if the child trespassed onto the property.
