"Premises Liability" generally refers to accidents that can occur due to the negligent maintenance, supervision, or unsafe and dangerous conditions present upon property owned by someone other than the accident victim. Most states, including Florida, have laws that require landowners or those who occupy land, whether  used for business or personal reasons, to maintain the property in a manner that does not injure visitors.

Premises Liability cases often involve several different types of claims, including slip-and-fall claims and negligent security. Generally, a slip-and-fall accident occurs when a defective condition, foreign substance or other object causes a fall. However, the fall alone is not enough for recovery.
