This statute allows you to file your premises liability case in Florida’s courts. In addition, any lawyer you hire must be licensed to practice in Florida, even if you live elsewhere.

Our timeshare accident lawyers will do the work needed to get the economic justice you deserve, including the following:
- Conduct a local investigation. We can act quickly to investigate your accident and collect evidence from the timeshare property and local entities.

Our attorneys will handle communications involving insurance companies and opposing counsel, including reviewing settlement offers and negotiating for the maximum compensation possible . We will protect your rights, advocate for your best interests, and defend you from bad-faith tactics throughout the process.
- Take legal action. If necessary, we can prepare and file a lawsuit with the Volusia County court clerk. We must do so before the two-year statute of limitations established by Florida Statutes § 95.11 expires for personal injury or wrongful death lawsuits.
Our team will keep you informed via regular updates and open lines of attorney-client communication throughout the process. In addition, we make our services affordable and accessible, taking personal injury cases on contingency. We will not charge you upfront or out-of-pocket fees. Instead, we only get paid if we win compensation for you.
Who Is Responsible for Property Conditions at a Timeshare?
Determining responsibility for a timeshare accident can become tricky. A timeshare company may manage a property, but those who contract with it “own” the premises. In addition, particular conditions of the timeshare agreement, the involved parties’ insurance policies, and whether you rented the property directly from a timeshare company or a lessee can all affect your case.
Our lawyers can establish liability for your timeshare accident injury and pursue compensation from everyone at fault. If necessary, we can manage multiple claims against multiple parties.

- Cracked or broken flooring
