Premises Liability Lawyer in Melbourne, FL
At Mann Law, we believe that property owners should be held accountable when their failure to maintain a safe environment leads to injury. You may have a premises liability claim if you’ve been hurt on someone else’s property—whether at a business, private home, rental property, or public place.
Premises liability refers to the legal responsibility of property owners to keep their premises reasonably safe for visitors. Under Florida law, when owners fail to address hazardous conditions or warn about known dangers, they may be held liable for injuries that result.

Why Premises Liability Claims Are Complex
Premises liability cases often come down to what the property owner knew and what they should have done. These cases can be complex and require thorough investigation, strong evidence, and a clear understanding of Florida liability law.
To succeed, you must prove that the property owner had a duty to keep the premises reasonably safe, that they failed to meet that duty through negligence or inaction, and that this failure directly caused your injury. You’ll also need to show that your injuries resulted in actual damages, such as medical bills, lost income, or pain and suffering.
As a former insurance defense attorney, David Mann understands how property owners and insurers try to avoid responsibility. We use that knowledge to build stronger cases, anticipate defenses, and fight for the compensation our clients need.

What Types of Accidents Lead to Premises Liability Claims?
Premises liability covers a wide range of incidents, including:
- Slips and falls due to wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poor maintenance
- Trips and falls caused by broken steps, loose handrails, or debris
- Injuries from falling merchandise or structural hazards
- Accidents due to poor lighting, lack of signage, or unsafe walkways
- Dog attacks occurring on private property
- Assaults or injuries resulting from inadequate security
Negligent Security: When Safety Measures Fall Short
One specific type of premises liability case involves negligent security. This applies when a property owner or business fails to provide reasonable safety measures and, as a result, someone becomes the victim of a crime, such as a robbery, assault, or other act of violence.
Florida business owners must take steps to protect visitors from foreseeable dangers, especially in high-crime areas.
That means maintaining basic security, such as:
- Adequate lighting in parking lots or walkways
- Working locks, gates, or alarm systems
- Security guards or camera systems, when appropriate
- Timely responses to security alerts or disturbances
- Warning signs about known risks
- Upkeep of physical barriers like doors and fences
If you were injured on a commercial property and believe a lack of proper security played a role, you may be entitled to compensation. Successful claims typically show that the owner failed in their duty to provide reasonable protection, that failure led directly to your injury, and that the injury was foreseeable under the circumstances.
