Tampa Premises Liability Attorney

Were you injured on someone else's property?

At the Distasio Law Firm, we are committed to protecting the rights of those who have been injured by the negligence of another. This includes accidents and injuries that occurred on the property of someone else. Under premises liability law, the owner of a property owes people on their property a duty of care. This could include hotels, restaurants, offices, retail stores, private homes, and more. Whether the owner knew that a danger existed on their property and failed to address it or even if they were unaware of the potential hazard, they could still be held responsible for any injury which occurred.

Types of Premises Liability Cases

Dog Bites
Every year, people are injured and killed as the result of animal attacks. If you were the victim of a dog bite, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our firm. Under Florida law, people have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit against the owner of a dog who attacked them. A lawsuit could help you get the compensation you need to cover the medical expenses and pain and suffering.

Falling Objects
Were you injured because of a falling object? If an object fell and injured you because of the negligence of a property owner, you could have a premises liability case. One common place for falling object injuries to take place are construction sites. Construction sites are one of the most dangerous workplace environments, and if safety regulations were not upheld, the property owner could be held accountable. Retail stores are another possible place for falling object injuries to occur. Again, do not hesitate to contact our firm if you were injured on another person's property.

Negligent Security
What happens if you were assaulted or robbed while on the property of someone else. Even though it was a criminal offense, the owner could still be partly responsible. For example, if they did not ensure that security was up to standard and that was the cause of the incident, the owner could be found liable. No not hesitate to contact our office if you have questions about an incident that took place because of negligent security.

Retail Store Negligence
Were you injured in a store? It is the responsibility of store owners to ensure that their property is free of hazards. If an individual is injured while on their property, they could be held financially responsible for any medical expenses or pain and suffering which occurred as a result.

Slip and Fall
What exactly is a slip and fall accident? Although it may not sound like a serious accident to be involved in, there can be devastating injuries resulting from a slip, fall, or trip. Whether you tripped because of bad lighting, an uneven surface, or broken stairs, the property owner could be held accountable for your injuries. If you suffered from a broken bone, bruises, a fracture, or a back injury, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our office to learn how we could help you.

Swimming Pool Accidents
If you were injured in another person's pool or a loved one drowned in another person's pool, you could have a premises liability case. Owners of pools have the responsibility to ensure that their pool is safe. Whether they have invited guests over to use the pool or a child wandered into the pool without their knowledge, they are still responsible for the safety of those on their property. Whether there was a lack of safety equipment, improper fencing or gates, or defective equipment in the pool, please contact our firm to learn how we could help you.

Workplace Accidents
What should you do if you were injured while at work? Workplace accidents can fall under the category of premises liability law. Some workplace environments are more dangerous than others, but they all come with certain hazards. Whether you were injured in a slip and fall accident, suffered from a burn, fell from scaffolding, or were exposed to a dangerous material, you could be entitled to compensation for what you went through. We can also help ensure that you are not retaliated against by your employer for reporting the accident.
