Tampa Premises Liability Lawyer
Property owners in Florida have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors. When they fail to do so, accidents can occur that leave people with serious injuries and financial hardship. At Spencer Morgan Law, our skilled Tampa premises liability lawyer represents individuals who have been injured due to unsafe property conditions. We hold negligent property owners, landlords, and businesses accountable for their carelessness and fight to recover the compensation our clients deserve.

Our firm investigates each case thoroughly, gathering photographs, witness statements, maintenance logs, and security footage to uncover the truth.
Common Injuries in Premises Liability Cases
Premises liability accidents can result in a wide range of injuries, from minor to life-threatening. Victims may experience broken bones, head injuries, back or neck pain, lacerations, or internal injuries. In severe cases, falls or other accidents can lead to permanent disability. Spencer Morgan Law works closely with medical experts to ensure the full extent of your injuries is properly documented and reflected in your claim.
Steps to Take After a Premises Liability Accident

- Report the incident to the property owner or manager and request a written report.
- Take photos of the dangerous condition that caused your injury.
- Collect names and contact information of any witnesses.
- Preserve any physical evidence, such as damaged clothing or shoes.
- Avoid speaking to insurance representatives before consulting an attorney.
- Contact Spencer Morgan Law to begin your claim and protect your rights.
What Compensation May Be Available
Victims of unsafe property conditions may be entitled to recover compensation for:
- Medical expenses and rehabilitation
- Lost income and future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
We pursue full compensation from property owners, management companies, and insurers to ensure that negligent parties are held accountable for their actions.
Proving Negligence in Premises Liability Claims
To succeed in a premises liability case, you must show that the property owner knew or should have known about a dangerous condition and failed to correct it or warn visitors in time. Spencer Morgan Law gathers maintenance records, inspection logs, and expert testimony to establish that negligence directly caused your injury.
Our firm has a strong track record of negotiating fair settlements and, when necessary, taking cases to trial to achieve justice for our clients.
