At our firm of Saalfield, Shad, Jay, Stokes & Inclan, P.A., we specialize in the growing field of premises liability defense. Whether you are an apartment building manager dealing with a fraudulent claim of neglect, or a storeowner in court due to an unpreventable injury on your property, you need an established premises liability attorney on your side. A Jacksonville, Florida, lawyer from our firm can help.

Florida premises liability law states that an individual responsible for the safety of a property — known as the “controller” — can be liable if a person is injured on that property due to negligence. The controller is also entitled to defense in unwarranted claims. A premises liability attorney from our firm will be able to give you that defense based on years of experience defending similar cases.

Our lawyers are especially familiar with the three most common sorts of premises liability cases. These include:

• Business Invitees: These claimants are people who came to the controller’s property with the implied consent to do business. While at the location, they feel they suffered injury due to the controller’s negligence. This could be as simple as a regular shopper in a grocery store.

• Licensees: These are claimants who went to the controller’s property for a social purpose. An example would be having an acquaintance in an apartment. In this example, a tenant is wrongly accused of negligence that resulted in an injury to the visitor — such as slipping or falling on the premises.

• Trespassers: These are people who have trespassed on the controller’s property — like taking a shortcut across the yard — and have found themselves injured. They are blaming this on the negligence property owner/controller.

Any fraudulent premises liability suits brought against you will require the intervention of a dedicated and conscientious premises liability defense attorney. Fortunately, each Jacksonville, Florida, lawyer at Saalfield, Shad, Jay, Stokes and Inclan, P.A., has the depth of knowledge to promptly and successfully resolve your unique situation.

Backed by over 20 years of experience, we will make your case our number one priority and get you the justice you deserve.
