Understanding the legal boundaries and duties concerning property ownership, especially in relation to injury and liability, forms the crux of this discussion on premises liability, as presented by attorney Charles Buist, a personal injury and wrongful death attorney based in Orlando, Florida.

Premises liability, a widely encompassing legal concept, refers to cases where an individual suffers an injury or death due to an unreasonably hazardous condition on a person's property or a business establishment. This extends beyond common slip and fall or trip and fall scenarios, also covering incidents like amusement park and swimming pool accidents, negligent security measures, mold exposure, animal attacks, and other harmful situations arising from hazardous conditions.

Pivotal to understanding premises liability involves the duty of care, an obligation that property owners hold towards individuals on their property. This duty, however, varies depending on the legal status of the visitor—trespasser, licensee, or invitee. Generally, property owners bear no duty of care to trespassers. The critical distinction in Florida lies between invitees and licensees.

An invitee, under Florida law, is a person entering a property for the property owner's benefit. The typical instance would involve a customer entering a grocery store to make a purchase. In such a situation, the store owner, aware of a hazardous condition on their property, bears a duty to correct the issue or adequately warn invitees of the potential danger.

A similar duty extends to invited licensees or social guests, a term describing individuals invited for social events or gatherings. Regardless of whether an individual is an invitee or an invited licensee, the rule remains consistent—if a hazardous condition exists that a property owner reasonably should be aware of, the owner must take corrective action or provide sufficient warning to those on the property.

Take the scenario of a puddle in a grocery store aisle. If this hazard remains unaddressed for a considerable time, such as an hour, the landowner cannot feign ignorance about its existence. Regular monitoring of the property would have alerted them to the hazard.

Conclusively, premises liability embodies an important facet of personal injury law, shedding light on the responsibilities of property owners towards ensuring the safety of their premises.
