Premises Liability / Slip and Fall
Under Florida law, a person who lawfully enters upon a premises is owed certain duties. The duty of care owed to such person is threefold. The possessor of the premises must use ordinary care in keeping the premises in a reasonably safe condition and correct any dangerous conditions of which the owner knows or should reasonably have known about, as well as giving timely notice of latent or concealed perils that are known or should have been known to the owner or possessor.
Safety code and statute violations may apply in a case. In this regard, Florida Statute, Section 83.51(1)(a) requires an owner or occupier to comply with all applicable codes concerning their property, and that proof of a code violation represents prima facie evidence of negligence. Holland v. Baquette, Inc., 540 So.2d 197 (Fla. 3d DCA 1989) and The Grand Union Company v. Rocker, 454 So.2d 14 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984).
