Responsibilities Every Property Owner in Delray Beach Has to You

Whether you’re grocery shopping, spending a day at the beach, or experiencing any of the other sights and sounds of Delray Beach, you have a reasonable expectation of safety. Every owner must be proactive in protecting those who step on their properties, and some basic responsibilities include:

Preventing Slip and Falls

With beaches and rain being part of life in Delray Beach, slip-and-fall accidents must be a top concern for property owners. Other slipping hazards, like spills and torn carpets, are also hazards to those who visit properties of all kinds.

Property owners and other responsible parties can reduce the likelihood of a slip and fall accident by:

  • Recognizing that slip and fall accidents are a year-round hazard in Delray Beach
  • Monitoring one’s property for the presence of slipping hazards at all times, whether personally or via employees
  • Training employees about how to detect and remove slipping hazards right away
  • Hiring repair professionals to address sources of slipping hazards, like leaking pipes

Delray Beach has a considerable population at heightened risk of severe injuries from falls. Yet, you don’t have to be elderly to become seriously injured due to a property owner’s negligence.

Hiring Skilled Security

When someone suffers a physical assault or another traumatic event at a property in Delray Beach, the property owner can be liable. Countless property owners often fail to hire adequate security guards to take other precautions because they are trying to save money.

If you suspect that a lack of security contributed to any injuries you or a loved one suffered, The Russo Firm will seek evidence of inadequate security.

Installing Bright Lighting

Lighting is one of the most effective ways to protect visitors. Installing bright lighting throughout a premises can:

  • Deter criminal activity
  • Allow visitors to see hazards they might otherwise encounter
  • Help employees and property owners see and address hazards

Property owners must take appropriate measures to ensure a bright property, whether installing lighting, updating lighting, or replacing defective bulbs.

Hiring Qualified Employees and Training Them to Protect Visitors

Employees are an extension of the property owner. Therefore, employees must:

  • Have the skills and personality traits to protect visitors.
  • Be receptive to training.
  • Prioritize safety.
  • Follow their employer’s training when it comes to identifying and addressing safety hazards.
  • Not be impaired by drugs, alcohol, health conditions, or anything else that prevents them from fulfilling their safety-specific duties.

Property owners can be financially liable for their employee’s negligence.

How Do I Know If I Have a Premises Liability Case in Delray Beach?

Allow the team at The Russo Firm to determine if you have grounds for a premises liability case. We can represent you in the following:

  • Filing an insurance claim (or multiple claims)
  • Filing a lawsuit against a property owner or another liable party
  • Any trial you choose to pursue

Our Delray Beach premises liability lawyers can quickly determine if someone’s negligence has caused you harm. You may also take action against anyone who intentionally harmed you, such as the perpetrator of a physical assault.

The Russo Firm’s Premises Liability Lawyers Will Prove Negligence for You

A common step we take in premises liability cases is proving negligence. A property owner is negligent if they fail to take reasonable measures to protect visitors like you.

If you have grounds for a premises liability claim or lawsuit, your attorney will:

  • Make clear that the property owner owed you a duty of care: Those with a duty of care must act reasonably. In the context of a property owner, this means taking any measures (like installing lighting and training employees) that reduce the risk of a visitor being harmed.
  • Prove that the property owner did not honor their duty of care: This means proving negligence. Your premises liability lawyer in Delray Beach will collect any witness accounts and other evidence that proves the property owner’s negligence.
  • Tie the violation of the duty of care to any injuries, illnesses, or wrongful deaths you have suffered: This is called proving causation. We must prove that the liable party’s negligence led directly to your harmful outcome, like an injury.
  • Prove the damages you have suffered because of the violation of the duty of care: Our team must finally prove how the liable party’s negligence has harmed you. Medical records and several other types of documentation will be relevant during this step.

These kinds of arguments are second nature to The Russo Firm team. We know what evidence and documentation help prove negligence and its consequences. Let us start your case immediately so we can gather such evidence and documentation.
