Orlando Personal Injury Attorney Concerned About New Florida Premises Liability Law
A new law that took effect in Florida at the beginning of the year with little fanfare could have serious consequences for people injured in slip-and-fall accidents. The new law makes it more difficult for people injured while on the premises of a business to seek damages in premises liability cases. The new law states that anyone injured in an accident caused by slips or trips and falls will have to prove that the business knew or should have known about the hazardous conditions that led to the accident. They must also prove that the business failed to take corrective action to remedy the situation after learning of the hazard.
