The law requires landowners to maintain their property in a way that will minimize the hazards to innocent people. To win damages in a premises liability case, an injured person must show that the premises owners were negligent in how they maintained their property.
The question often comes down to how foreseeable the accident was. Would a typical premises owner have foreseen that the condition of the property could cause this kind of injury?
If you or a loved one was injured while on someone else’s premises, you should talk to an experienced West Palm Beach premises liability attorney as soon as you can so that you can get the compensation you deserve. An experienced West Palm Beach injury lawyer can help in building a strong claim and ensuring the injured party knows what to expect at every step.
Some of the typical physical hazards that cause injury in these types of cases are:
If someone lives in an apartment complex or another type of multi-unit dwelling, the owners of the premises have a duty to provide a habitable, safe environment. If they have breached that duty, the injured party can recover damages with the help of a premises liability lawyer in West Palm Beach.
Some of the injuries a person can suffer include:
The medical bills related to a serious personal injury can be devastating. If the injured party was the breadwinner for a family, then the entire family could face a reduced quality of life.
The damages that can be obtained include economic damages (medical expenses, lost income), non-economic (emotional distress), and punitive (meant to punish egregious conduct by the defendant). Such damages can help to be effectively recovered using a West Palm Beach premises liability attorney.
In other types of cases, courts will look at why the victim was on the defendant’s premises. There are several different classifications of persons in these types of cases, such as:
Invitees and social guests are usually found to be deserving of the highest standard of care, since in both cases the premises owners specifically asked them to come onto the property.
For example, if the premises were part of a “public accommodation” where members of the public are specifically invited in – such as a store or a restaurant – then the courts will hold the owners to a high standard of care.
Licensees are people who have permission to be on the property, but who visit for their own purposes or amusement, rather than for business. Trespassers have been found to be deserving of almost no care, although even they are protected against willful injury.
Florida is one of the many states that uses a comparative negligence standard. This means that whatever percentage amount the injured party was determined to be negligent, their recovery will be reduced by that amount. An individual can best understand this element by talking with a knowledgeable West Palm Beach premises liability attorney.
An experienced West Palm Beach premises liability attorney will have a strong track record of holding landowners accountable when they fail to remedy the hazards on their property.
In most personal injury cases in Florida, the injured person has two years from the date of the accident to file a claim. Gathering the evidence that is needed for a successful claim must happen as soon after the accident as possible.
You should not wait another day before getting your claim evaluated by a premises liability lawyer who is ready and able to fight for you. Contact Kogan & DiSalvo today.

From the moment I googled injury lawyers, the first name that appeared was Kogan & DiSalvo. I’ve seeing them painted in the back of the cross many times instantly felt a sense of relief that all that right away. Boy am I glad I trusted my instincts. From the initial phone call that I made at the time of my injury I was guided over the phone what to do. It was almost like having a family and solo me through a rather traumatic situation. My attorney Ted DiSalvo has been amazing, however I did most of my correspondence with Amanda Hudson (she was like a big sister) guiding me and reassuring me an answering every question that I had throughout this long process.
Kogan and DiSalvo they treated me like family from day one. If you are ever in a position that you need a great injury firm that pays closer attention to you then your own family; Kogan & DiSalvo is who you need to call. They will make sure that you do not get shorchanged . They will get you the money that you deserve.
Lastly I know I sound like a broken record but Amanda Hudson was amazing “you rock Amanda” You made this a truly great experience..
My neighbor used Kogan & DiSalvo twice and had such a positive experience that after I was involved in a car accident she told me that I really should call them, so I did. After I filled out the form online someone called me within 3 minutes. She was very kind, compassionate and very sympathetic to my situation. From the beginning she let me know that she needed to speak with the attorney and find out some more info before she could say if they could even help me. The honesty from her was very appreciated. Although I’m not finished with my case I am very very happy with how things are going and even more so with the treatment I recieve from everyone I have dealt with. I am treated like a person, not a number, which is unfortunately very rare. They honestly do care and do truly want to help. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a personal injury attorney.
Kogan & disalvo are literally the best lawyers to ever work with ! They cared tremendously and always kept me in the loop with me and my daughter’s case. They fought hard to get us a great compensation in just under 9 months . I would recommend them to anyone thanks again yall rock!

Everyone was very professional and nice
Unfortunately I was involved in an accident, for which I didn’t see the need for an attorney. But I am happy I took the advice to get the help of the team at Kogan & Disalvo. They made sure my medical bills are paid.
Thank you
My wife and I were hit in the rear by an 18 wheeler, that was loaded with bricks. Fortunately we were able to walk away, but I sustained damage to my back and neck. I can’t thank this law firm enough for the advice they gave me. It took quite a while to finally settle the case. Tiffany did a great job preparing me for my disposition, and I was very pleased the way she handled the eventual arbitration.
Thank you Tiffany, and the entire staff for their professionalism. I have no hesitation in recommending them to others in need of legal advice.
I highly recommend hiring Kogan & DiSalvo! They worked very efficiently and diligently to settle my case. There were a few setbacks and delays but Amanda Hudson conquered them without hesitation! If I ever need an injury lawyer I will only trust Kogan & DiSalvo!
Brian Andino was an outstanding lawyer who, along with his hard-working team, handled my personal injury case with professionalism and care. I was injured in a parking lot that was not maintained properly, and Brian, supported by his diligent staff, helped me navigate a complicated legal process with ease. His team was always responsive, organized, and ensured that I stayed informed at every stage of the case.
Brian’s expertise was evident in the way he built a strong case, and his team’s attention to detail made a significant difference. Together, they fought hard to secure a fair settlement for my injuries, holding the negligent parties accountable. I always felt like Brian and his team genuinely cared about my recovery and well-being.
I highly recommend Brian Andino and his dedicated team to anyone in need of skilled, compassionate, and thorough legal representation.
We would like to thank the team at Kogan and DiSalvo and wish them all a wonderful Thanksgiving. When my wife and I were involved in a small crash in 2021, we met with Ted DiSalvo at the Boca Raton office. Ted was so helpful and made us feel like he really cared about us and took our case even though it was minor. In 2022, we were rear-ended by a commercial plumbing truck that caused major injuries to my wife and I. We naturally called Kogan and DiSalvo back. We knew that they would take care of us again. Tiffany Fanelli was assigned to our case, and, Wow! For over 2 years, we worked with the team at Kogan and DiSalvo. There were times that we had doubts about what our future looked like, but Tiffany always encouraged and reassured us that she was working hard to resolve this case. Recently, Tiffany put together the most impressive presentation we have ever seen in our professional careers and Tiffany won our case in a big way. We are so thankful for what Tiffany was able to accomplish. And equally grateful to the entire team at Kogan and DiSalvo. We highly recommend them if you have to deal with a similar situation. To everyone at Kogan and DiSalvo, we wish you a happy Thanksgiving and a wonderful holiday season.
Our attorneys were very professional and efficient.
They communicated frequently and were very patient answering our questions and or concerns. In addition, they negotiated settlements with medical providers which reduced our expenses resulting in larger settlement proceeds.
In closing they did a fantastic job, and I would strongly recommend them.
