Fort Myers Premises Liability

Providing Legal Solutions to the Residents of Fort Myers and Surrounding Areas

Property owners are responsible for the care and upkeep of their homes and other private properties. The outside of a home or business can become overgrown, with grass and untrimmed shrubs impeding walkways. Additionally, an unlit pathway can also create hazardous conditions for visitors. Failure to upkeep a property is a common cause of slip-and-fall accidents.  If a property owner knows their residence or business has hazardous areas, they have a duty of care to all visitors to warn them of dangerous conditions. When a property owner fails to alert visitors to hazardous conditions on their property, they can leave themselves vulnerable to personal injury claims from injured visitors.


If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall or similar injury while on another person’s property, contact our Fort Myers premises liability attorney at (239) 603-6913 to schedule a free consultation.
