When you go to a restaurant, theme park, or any other public space, you expect the property to be reasonably safe. In most cases, property owners and managers are diligent in upkeep and maintenance to prevent unnecessary hazards and keep visitors or tenants safe. However, that is not always the case.
When property owners fail to meet these expectations, it can be devastating. If you have been injured on someone’s property because of negligence, you need an experienced Orlando premises liability attorney with DWK Law.
Dellecker, Wilson, King, McKenna, Ruffier, & Sos have been integral parts of the Central Florida community for over thirty years. We understand that you are likely coming to us at your most vulnerable time. Orlando’s status as a tourist destination means that individuals injured here may reside elsewhere, making them potentially more vulnerable to exploitation due to the perceived convenience of local legal options.
Our firm believes there is always a way forward, and when we take on new clients, you have our full investment and financial resources to help you uncover the truth and maximize the compensation you receive. Supporting injury victims and bringing accountability to those whose negligence caused your injuries is part of our legacy.
Our team has significant experience navigating the legal process. We will use this education and experience to help you investigate the case and develop a convincing argument for the insurance company. We will work to build a case that gives you leverage to negotiate and maximize your recovery. If we cannot agree on a fair settlement amount, we can help you take the case to court.
We can boast about our ability all day, but hearing feedback from those who have worked with us really tells you how we operate. Our client testimonials are truly stories of triumph.
“What truly stood out was their genuine compassion-whether I was upset, emotional, or just overwhelmed, they took the time to listen and offer comfort, never making me feel like just another case. Their patience and encouragement gave me the strength to trust the process, and in the end, they fought to ensure I received the justice and compensation I deserved.”

Premises liability law deals with the responsibility of property owners and managers to keep visitors and tenants safe. Florida property owners have a duty to keep their premises in reasonably safe condition. This can include:
As you can imagine, premises liability can include an unimaginable variety of injury cases under countless circumstances or locations. Many of our clients have been injured in local Orlando bars, nightclubs, apartments, or amusement parks like Disney, Universal Studios, or SeaWorld.
Some of what we see most commonly at DWK include:
Negligent security is when a property owner or manager fails to provide reasonable security measures, often leading to harm or injury to a person, including assaults that happen at bars or clubs. They may also include burglaries, robberies, or assaults in gated communities or residences if the opportunity for the crime occurred due to negligent security measures, such as our 2013 case in Southwest Orlando. However, given our location, many of our premises liability cases are a result of theme park injuries.
As an injury victim in Orlando, Florida, you have certain rights that allow you to protect your interests. An Orlando premises liability attorney can help you take advantage of these rights and prevent the insurance company or other parties from taking advantage of you.
| You have the right to legal representation – Insurance providers have their own lawyers, it is only fair that you are eligible for the same. Securing your own representation levels the playing field by providing advocacy and the experience of a professional who can navigate negotiations as deftly as the other party. |
| You have the right to sue- Just like you have the ability to pursue an insurance claim, you have the right to escalate that claim to a lawsuit if you are unable to agree on a settlement amount. We will work on your behalf to navigate the legal process and handle all communication regarding your case. |
| You have the right to hold responsible parties accountable- When someone else’s negligence leaves you injured, you are entitled to pursue a claim or lawsuit to hold the other person accountable for the damage they caused. |
| Your right to compensation for damages – If another person’s negligence caused your injuries, Florida law allows you to seek damages to recover compensation for the costs and losses you have incurred. This may be through a claim with the responsible party’s homeowners or liability insurance or through a lawsuit. |
Holding the appropriate party accountable can be a motivating factor for your claim or lawsuit. However, many people choose this route to recover needed financial compensation. Premises liability injuries can range from sprains and strains to catastrophic injuries like permanent disability and disfigurement, or even death.
These injuries can come with a heavy financial and emotional cost, and some of the damages our premises liability attorney may advise you to claim may include:
Most often, an Orlando attorney will determine the value of economic damages through receipts, invoices, and estimates. Additional damages, such as physical and emotional pain and suffering, that may not have a specific cost assigned to them, are often determined through a multiplier of your financial losses.
When you need a premises liability attorney in Orlando, DWK Law offers free case consultations that you can schedule online or by phone at 407-244-3000. This is not something you have to handle alone. So, call us today to get the support you deserve.
Our Orlando premises liability attorneys handle the minutia and details of your injury case. However, it can be helpful to gain a general understanding of what you can expect. Our team at DWK Law is happy to answer any questions you may have about your situation, but here are some common topics.
Florida provides a statute of limitations that affects your eligibility to file a lawsuit in your premises liability case. You can generally expect the statute of limitations to be 2 years in a premises liability case but there are exceptions that may extend the statute of limitations according to Florida statute 95.11. This limitation is crucial to consider while you navigate your case and insurance negotiations, as it refers to a lawsuit, not an insurance claim.
Some people are deterred from filing a claim or advocating for themselves due to concerns about their own fault. Florida statute 768.81 establishes the comparative fault guidelines, which can diminish what you collect. Still, it does not bar you from claiming damages as long as you are not more than 50% responsible for your injuries.
It can be difficult to value a claim at first glance. However, our team will work to fully review your losses to help you maximize your settlement. With Orlando premises liability claims, victims are often entitled to more compensation than they realize, which is why having an attorney experienced with these claims is vital.
If you have encountered the worst and lost a loved one, you may choose to pursue a wrongful death claim on behalf of your loved one. The Wrongful Death Act may undergo changes in the coming year, affecting recovery for adult children of the deceased. Still, you may be eligible to pursue this type of recovery if you are an immediate family member or executor of the estate.
