Parking garages are a routine part of visiting shopping centers, office buildings, hospitals, hotels, entertainment venues, and apartment complexes throughout Florida. Most people enter these structures without thinking about whether the property itself could pose a danger. Unfortunately, poorly maintained walking surfaces, inadequate lighting, broken stairs, vehicle traffic, and other hazards can cause serious accidents. When someone is injured, determining who is responsible may be more complicated than simply identifying the owner of the garage. Depending on the circumstances, a property owner, management company, business, maintenance contractor, or another party may bear responsibility.
