A West Palm Beach Child Injury Lawyer will advise a client that if your child is injured due to the negligence of a landlord, under the Florida Residential Landlord and Tenant Act a violation may be proven by asserting that the landlord had actual or constructive knowledge of a dangerous condition, and had sufficient time to have it remedied, yet neglected to do so. A landlord's liability under the Florida law is not based on the fact that the lessor is the owner of the premises, but on the fact that the owner is the possessor of the premises, and can be held negligent just as any other possessor. An experienced West Palm Beach Child Injury Lawyer will also inform a plaintiff that he or she may prove that the landlord had actual or constructive knowledge of the hazardous condition by circumstantial evidence. Circumstantial evidence may be based on inferences from established facts, which draw the conclusion that the landlord knew of a dangerous condition and failed to remedy it in a timely manner. For example, if an apartment building was previously painted with lead paint, and the new landlord was informed of the paint's toxic nature by a contractor, he or she may be held liable for failing to repaint the building if a tenant's child receives lead poisoning as a result.
