What Compensation May You Be Owed in a Wellington Premises Liability Case?
Fair compensation in premises liability cases is based on the immediate losses you have and the ones that you are expected to have in the future due to your injuries. For example, in a slip and fall case, you may have a spinal cord injury that leads to a disability. You may be able to recover not only your medical bills, but also the wages you’re expected to lose in the future due to no longer being able to work.
Our legal team will listen to your story so we understand the full scope of your losses. We may also consult with medical professionals about what your recovery process will look like. We may seek compensation for:
Economic Losses
These are the financial losses of an injury and are often a large portion of a personal injury settlement. They can include:
- Past, present, and future medical expenses like ER visits, doctor appointments, surgeries, and physical therapy.
- Job losses like lost wages, lost benefits, and diminished earning capacity.
- Other losses like home or vehicle modifications needed to account for a disability, mobility aids or other assistive devices, and housekeeping expenses while you are recovering.
Non-Economic Losses
In addition to the financial costs of an injury, you should also be compensated for the more personal losses you’ve suffered. These can include:
- Emotional distress.
- Loss of enjoyment.
- Loss of quality of life.
- Permanent disability.
- Scarring.
- Pain and suffering.
Our Wellington premises liability attorneys will seek the maximum compensation you are entitled to.

How Do You Prove Fault in a Wellington Premises Liability Case?
Premises liability cases depend on being able to prove that a property owner acted negligently. To do so, your lawyer must show that the four elements of negligence were met. These elements are:
Duty of Care
The property owner had a duty to keep the premises free from dangers. This only applies to people who are legally on the premises, though—for example, customers or guests.
Maintaining a duty of care usually involves the property owner ensuring that hazards are promptly taken care of and that security features are present.
Breach of Duty of Care
The property owner failed to maintain the safety of their premises. For example:
- Left spills or cords on the floor for extended periods.
- Never installed lights in dimly lit stairwells or parking lots.
- Failed to properly train security guards.
Your lawyer must show that the hazard existed and that the property owner reasonably should have known about it. Your lawyer may prove this through documentation like previous complaints or incident reports involving the hazards.
Causation
The hazard led to the premises liability incident. For example:
- A customer slipped and fell due to an ongoing leak from an appliance.
- A resident of an apartment complex was assaulted in an unlit parking lot.
- An unleashed and aggressive dog bit a guest.
Your lawyer can prove causation through evidence like video footage, witness statements, police reports, and physical evidence. They may also consult with experts, such as accident reconstructionists.
Damages
Finally, your attorney must directly link your losses to the premises liability incident. They may do so through medical records, medical bills, or expert testimony.

What Is the Deadline for Premises Liability Cases in Wellington?
In Florida, you generally have two years to file a premises liability lawsuit. However, in cases where government property or minors are involved, this deadline can shift. Always talk to your lawyer about what to expect for the timeline of your case.
In addition to the legal deadline, starting early on your case can also help with the preservation of vital evidence.
