Florida law requires stores like HomeSense to make sure their property remains reasonably safe for customers and other invited guests. This includes routinely inspecting for hazards, promptly cleaning up spills, securing unstable displays, and ensuring adequate lighting in walkways.

When a business breaches this duty, and a customer is injured as a result, the injured party may file a premises liability claim. Proving negligence in a HomeSense accident typically involves showing:

• A dangerous condition existed on the premises.
• The store owner or employees knew or should have known about it.
• The store failed to fix or warn about the hazard, and
• You were injured as a result.

These cases can quickly become complicated, which is why experienced legal representation is critical.

You can find HomeSense stores in Palm Beach County, including:

• Uptown Boca: HomeSense at 9698 Glades Road, Boca Raton, FL 33434
• The Shoppes at Isla Verde: HomeSense at 820 S. State Road 7, Wellington, FL 33414

Premises liability injuries in stores like HomeSense can occur almost anywhere on the property. Common accident locations include:

• Aisles and Walkways - Wet floors from cleaning, spilled drinks, or broken merchandise are common culprits.
• Entryways and Sidewalks - Rainwater tracked indoors or cracked pavement outside can lead to slips and falls.
• Parking Lots - Uneven surfaces, potholes, or poor lighting increase fall risks, especially at night.
• Restrooms - Leaks or puddles often go unnoticed, making these areas hazardous.
• Display Areas - Improperly secured furniture or decorative items can topple over.

According to the CDC, falls are the leading cause of injury among older Americans, making proper maintenance in public retail spaces even more critical.

Accidents at HomeSense stores can result in serious, sometimes permanent, injuries. These include:

• Broken Bones and Fractures - Prevalent in wrist, hip, and ankle injuries from falls.
• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) - A fall onto a hard floor can cause concussions or more severe brain injuries.
• Back and Neck Injuries - Herniated discs, pinched nerves, and chronic pain can result from sudden impacts.
• Sprains and Strains - Ankle twists, knee sprains, and pulled muscles are common.
• Lacerations and Contusions - Sharp displays or broken glass can leave deep cuts and bruises.

These injuries may require emergency care, physical therapy, surgery, or long-term rehabilitation - all of which can be expensive and disruptive to your life.

Premises liability cases may seem straightforward, but several legal challenges can threaten your ability to recover compensation:

Florida follows the comparative fault rule. If the defense can show you were even partially responsible (such as walking while distracted), your recovery could be reduced. You won’t be compensated if you are found to be more than 50% responsible.

Under Florida law, it's not enough to say you got hurt. You have to prove the store knew (or should've known) about the dangerous condition and didn't do anything to fix it.

Surveillance footage, maintenance logs, and eyewitness accounts can make or break your case. But they must be collected quickly.

At Wolfson & Leon, we act fast. Our legal team investigates the scene, gathers records, talks to witnesses, and works with medical experts to prove your damages. We negotiate aggressively to secure settlements that reflect the true impact of your injuries.

Florida law provides a clear framework for slip and fall and other premises liability cases:

• Two-Year Statute of Limitations – You must file your claim within two years of getting hurt.
• Burden of Proof – You'll need proof that a dangerous condition existed, the business had knowledge of it, and they didn't take action.
• Business Invitees – When you visit a store to shop, the law considers you a "business invitee”, which means the business has a legal duty to keep the area safe for you.

Failing to act quickly or collect the right documentation could result in losing your right to compensation.

If you or a loved one were hurt in a HomeSense store accident in West Palm Beach, don’t wait. The sooner you act, the stronger your case.

At Wolfson & Leon, we’ve helped injury victims recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. You don’t pay unless we win.
