South Bay Premises Liabilities
Expert Handling of Premises Liability Claims for Slip and Fall Accidents and More
Compassionate Advocacy and Expert Negotiation for Optimal Outcomes in Premises Liability Cases
Premises liability, a branch of personal injury law, holds property owners responsible for maintaining safe conditions on their premises. The law requires that property owners and occupiers ensure their properties are free from hazards that could harm visitors or tenants. When this responsibility is breached, and an injury occurs, the property owner or occupant may be held liable for damages. At Maximus Law Firm, we specialize in handling cases involving injuries caused by property hazards, such as slips and falls, inadequate security, and other incidents arising from dangerous conditions on another person's property in South Bay Beach.
Slip and fall accidents are among the most common premises liability cases. Hazards like slippery floors and uneven walkways frequently lead to these incidents. Poorly maintained stairways and other dangerous conditions the property owner has failed to address can also contribute to accidents. Other common causes of premises liability incidents include inadequate lighting, faulty handrails, debris or obstructions in walkways, and even dog bites on residential properties. Additionally, premises liability can encompass incidents involving insufficient security, such as assaults or robberies occurring on a property due to inadequate measures like broken locks, poor lighting, or a lack of surveillance cameras.
Injuries sustained in premises liability incidents can be significant based on the type of event. Common injuries include broken bones, sprains, concussions, spinal damage, and strains to muscles or ligaments. Victims may also experience emotional suffering, such as anxiety and depression, especially if their injuries have long-term effects on their ability to work or engage in daily activities. Severe injuries may require long-term medical care, leading to significant financial burdens.
At Maximus Law Firm, our team thoroughly investigates every premises liability case. We begin by gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and collaborating with experts to gain a comprehensive understanding of our clients' injuries. We evaluate whether the property owner neglected their duty to maintain safe conditions or failed to address known hazards. Our goal is to obtain compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress, working diligently to ensure our clients receive the justice they deserve.
In premises liability cases, time is often critical. Evidence can deteriorate, and witnesses' memories may fade, making it essential to take prompt legal action. At Maximus Law Firm, we recognize the urgency of these cases and act swiftly to collect the information necessary to build a strong claim. Whether we are negotiating with insurance companies, advocating for our clients in court, or holding negligent property owners accountable, we provide compassionate and personalized representation at every stage of the process.

Can I file a premises liability claim if I was injured on public property?
Yes, but claims against government entities typically have shorter filing deadlines, usually within six months.
What if I was injured on private property but I wasn’t invited there? Can I still make a claim?
You may still have a claim if the property owner failed to address a known hazard, even if you were a trespasser, depending on the circumstances.
How do I know if the property owner was negligent in maintaining their premises?
Negligence can be established if the property owner knew or should have known about a dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn visitors.
What should I do immediately after an accident on someone else’s property?
Take photos of the scene, document the hazard, seek medical attention, report the incident to the property owner, and consult an attorney.
Can a property owner be held liable for accidents caused by third-party actions (e.g., a criminal act on their property)?
Yes, if the property owner failed to provide adequate security measures to prevent foreseeable harm.
