Premises Liability Attorney
Being injured on the property of another can be frustrating, confusing, and even embarrassing. All property owners must keep their property in a reasonably safe condition to avoid unnecessary harm to others. When property owners fail to do this, innocent people can get hurt. This is known as premises liability, and it holds negligent property owners responsible.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to commence a premises liability case?
Under Florida law, four years from the date of injury or two years after a wrongful death caused by the premises liability accident. This time period is known as the statute of limitations. If you try to file a claim outside of the statute of limitations period, your claim may be automatically dismissed. While four years sounds like a long time, if you are catastrophically injured it may take that long to just become able to resume normal daily activities. As soon as you can, make sure to ask for a premises liability lawyer who can immediately protect your rights to compensation such as Schlacter Law.
How much is my premises liability case worth?
There is no magic formula to determine how much a personal injury case may be worth. Your medical bills, lost wages, and future medical expenses are a good starting point. An experienced premises liability lawyer at Schlacter Law can help to estimate your possible recovery.
The amount of a settlement or jury award varies greatly on many factors, including the facts of the case and the extent of your injuries. Expenses such as medical bills, car repair bills, lost wages, and other monetary losses can help start the process. Determining your compensation for pain and suffering is more difficult and is generally what is reasonable compensation for your injuries. There are many ways to calculate the pain and suffering component. Some lawyers take a multiple of the medical bills. For example, if your medical bills are $100,000 the pain and suffering award could be three times that amount at $300,000. Some lawyers present a fair number depending on many factors, such as the severity of the case, the jury, the judge, and the insurance company. At Schlacter Law our goal is to maximize this amount by putting more money in our clients’ pockets.
How much does a premises liability lawyer cost?
Nothing upfront. Premises liability lawyers use a contingency fee agreement which means they get a percentage of the money they recover for you. This means you only pay that percentage when you collect a settlement or award. You do not owe us any money upfront to have us start fighting back at insurance companies for you.
