Boca Raton Premises Liability Lawyers
Town Center's polished floors. Mizner's restaurants and valets. Hotels, HOAs, office towers, and thousands of businesses — every one owes visitors a legal duty of safety. When they fail, Shiner Law Group holds them accountable from our Boca headquarters, including a $1.2 million premises recovery, with no fee unless we win.
Injured on Someone Else's Property in Boca Raton?
Premises liability is the law's answer to a simple bargain: businesses and property owners invite you in — to shop, dine, stay, visit — and in exchange owe you reasonably safe conditions. In Boca that bargain covers an enormous landscape: one of Florida's largest malls, a packed downtown dining district, resort hotels, country clubs, gated communities, and office parks.
The claims are harder than they look. Florida's slip-and-fall statute (§ 768.0755) requires proving the business knew or should have known about the hazard — a burden met with inspection logs, cleaning schedules, prior incidents, and above all surveillance video that gets overwritten in days unless demanded. Negligent security claims add another layer: when crime was foreseeable and the property skimped on lighting, cameras, or guards, the owner shares responsibility for what happened.
Shiner Law Group's premises results include a $1.2 million recovery for a client injured in a fall a store called "her own fault." Evidence, preserved fast, said otherwise. You pay nothing unless we win.
No upfront cost, ever. Every case is handled on a strict contingency fee. Call (561) 777-7700 for a free, confidential consultation, available 24/7 from offices across Florida.

What to Do After a Property Injury — Step by Step
The steps you take in the first hours and days can make or break your claim.
Report It Immediately
Notify the manager, owner, or staff before you leave, and insist on a written incident report. Get a copy or photograph it - unreported falls become "it never happened" defenses.
Photograph the Hazard Now
The spill, broken step, poor lighting, or missing sign - conditions get cleaned up within minutes. Your photos may be the only proof the hazard existed.
Identify Witnesses
Names and phone numbers of anyone who saw the fall or the hazard - including employees who commented on it.
Preserve Your Clothing and Shoes
Don't wash or discard them - they can corroborate the surface conditions.
Seek Medical Care the Same Day
Falls cause injuries that worsen over days - and gaps in treatment become the defense's favorite argument.

Florida Premises Law: What You Must Prove
The owner's duty depends on why you were there — and what they knew.
Duty by Visitor Status
Business visitors (invitees) are owed the highest duty: reasonable inspection and maintenance plus warnings of known dangers. Social guests are owed warnings of hidden hazards. Even trespassing children are protected around attractive nuisances like pools.
The Knowledge Requirement (§ 768.0755)
For transitory substances in businesses, you must prove actual or constructive knowledge — the hazard existed long enough that reasonable care would have found it, or it happened regularly. This is where inspection records and video win cases.
Negligent Security
Property owners in areas of foreseeable crime must take reasonable security measures. Florida law now provides a presumption against liability for owners meeting specific security criteria (§ 768.0706) — making expert analysis of what was and wasn't in place essential.
Why Premises Injuries Hit Boca Raton Hard
One in four adults 65 and older falls each year, according to the CDC — and about one in four of Boca Raton's roughly 100,000 residents is 65 or older, per U.S. Census Bureau data. Property safety failures here carry unusually high stakes.

How Property Owners Fight These Claims
The defense playbook is predictable — and beatable.
"We Didn't Know"
The core defense under Florida's slip-and-fall statute — defeated with inspection logs, cleaning schedules, and how long the hazard existed
Vanishing Video
Surveillance footage is overwritten on short cycles unless preserved — our demand letters go out immediately
"Open and Obvious"
Claiming you should have seen the hazard — a defense that limits but rarely eliminates the owner's duty to maintain
Blame the Victim's Shoes
Footwear, phones, and "not watching where you were going" — comparative fault theater we answer with evidence
The Quick Release
Small checks offered fast, before injuries declare themselves — signing ends the claim forever
Pre-Existing Condition Games
Blaming your age or medical history for injuries the fall caused — answered with treating physicians and imaging
The most important thing to know: the defense starts building its case before you have spoken to an attorney. Shiner Law Group levels this from day one. Call (561) 777-7700 before giving anyone a statement.
