In a West Palm Beach premises liability lawsuit against a landlord for liability of injuries of a child injured on his or her premises, a discharge of a duty to warn a resident of a dangerous condition, does not relieve the defendant of his or her duty to maintain the premises in a reasonably safe manner by correcting or eliminating dangers. Additionally, in a cause of action against a landlord, the landlord's liability for negligence does not require that the condition also be inherently dangerous. Moreover, intervening acts by a third party does not bar recovery against the landlord under Florida law in causes of action alleging the failure to warn of the defective condition. However, a landlord is not liable in a cause of action if he or she has no knowledge of a latent defect.
An experienced West Palm Beach Child Injury lawyer specializing in premises liability will advise a plaintiff that if the defect on the premises is a latent defect, the occupant of the premises is considered to be in as good or better position to know of the defect as the landlord. Therefore, the issue of whether a dangerous condition coupled with the landlord's knowledge of the condition is sufficient to constitute the proximate cause of an injury to a child is an issue for the jury to determine.
