Another important factor to consider is that
the vacation rental companies are technically not a party to rental agreements between guests and hosts, and they have been able to argue that they lack ownership and control over the properties featured on their websites. While this creates additional hurdles, our firm is experienced with difficult and complex cases.
Plaintiffs in Florida premises liability cases have the burden of proving a property owner or host knew or should have known about the dangerous condition. Knowledge can be difficult to prove even after intensive investigation and will often require your lawyer to prove constructive
knowledge instead. In other words, prove that the issue occurred regularly enough that the owner should have known, had they been reasonably caring for and maintaining their property.
One final factor to consider in these types of cases is that the defense attorneys for the host or property owner will usually argue that a person's injuries were caused in part or exacerbated by their own carelessness. In Florida, If the defense can successfully make assertions of contributory negligence, it could limit the amount a victim can collect but will not prohibit a victim from attempting to collect.
Because of the unique circumstances and situations in any type of personal injury case, it's always very beneficial to speak with an
experienced personal injury lawyer to protect your rights and improve the potential outcome.
