In Florida, property owners may be held liable for injury if they knew or should have known of the dangerous condition, failed to repair or warn of this condition, or if the visitor was injured by the dangerous condition. Most cases do not hold owners responsible for other’s injuries caused by a condition the owner did not know about. Property owners owe differing levels of care to the following:
- Invitees: These ought to receive the highest level of care from the property owner. Shoppers and repairmen and social guests are examples of invitees who are supposed to immediately be informed of any unsafe or potentially unsafe condition on the premises.
- Trespassers: Property owners owe a limited standard of care to a trespasser. Once the trespasser is spotted, he is supposed to warn them of any existing property dangers. If the trespasser is unknown to the owner, he cannot be held liable for trespasser injury.
- Children: Property owners are required to provide a special level of care to protect children who may enter the premises. This especially concerns pools, trampolines, or any other potentially dangerous device which may bring harm to the child.
