Property owners and managers need to look out for potential hazards on their properties. Premises liability laws require them to take reasonable steps to guard their guests and employees. This involves maintaining the property according to basic standards, monitoring it for risk factors, and eliminating any hazards they find in a timely manner. They also need to ensure any extensions of ownership or management also make such efforts. Since a manager cannot be at their business every given moment, they need to train employees to keep the property safe as well.
You may be injured in the Boca Raton area if a property owner neglects this responsibility. If this ever occurs, review your case with our Boca Raton premises liability attorney at Elstein Legal. You may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills and related losses. A personal injury lawyer can review the details of your accident to determine how much you may be entitled to and define the liable party.

Boca Raton Premises Liability Cases: Essential Information
You are not automatically entitled to compensation any time you are injured on someone else’s property. For example, a jar of slippery substance falls and breaks at the supermarket. You walk over the spill, slipping and falling as a result.
Whether you are entitled to compensation in this instance depends on certain key factors and details. You may need to prove that by the time you slipped on the spill, an employee or manager should have been aware of it had they been monitoring for such hazards. If your accident happened immediately after the item fell from the shelf, you may not have grounds to file a claim or lawsuit.
This is one of many reasons you should consult with a personal injury law firm in Boca Raton. A qualified premises liability lawyer can confirm you have a valid claim, and gather evidence to show your case potentially entitles you to compensation.
Examples of Boca Raton Premises Liability Cases
Examples of accidents that may give you justification to file a premises liability claim include (but are not limited to):
- An elevator or escalator breaking and injuring you because it was not properly maintained;
- A slip and fall accident occurring due to an employee not putting up a wet floor caution sign after mopping;
- Being exposed to harmful chemicals or objects on a property because the owner did not sufficiently warn you of their presence;
- Floods or fires resulting from negligence.
