Only specific individuals can file a premises liability case. In some instances, invitees or licensees may be eligible for compensation following an accident on another party’s property. If the circumstances are right, property owners could also be responsible for damages caused by trespassers. Invitees. A property owner may allow an invitee to visit the property, and a property owner might invite business associates to conduct business. An example of an invitee is a customer or repairman. Florida property owners are responsible for providing the best care to their guests. Licensees. A licensee is someone who enters a property to fulfill their own needs. A licensee is someone who enters a property for their purposes. However, the landowner may not direct them to do so. A licensee could be someone who visits a store to use the restroom but not shop. Trespassers. Trespassers are those who do not have permission to enter the property. A property owner may be held responsible for damages caused by trespassers in some instances.   Additional requirements are required to file a Florida premises liability case. You would also need to be within the limitations period. The statute of limitations in most cases is four years for injuries and two years for wrongful death. You must meet additional requirements to hold property owners responsible for your damages.
