When can a property owner be held responsible for injuries to trespassers, and can someone eventually claim ownership of property they've been using?

On this episode of Legal Live, Justin is joined by Florida personal injury attorneys Eddie and Chuck Farah to discuss property owner liability, trespassing, attractive nuisances, and property rights in Florida.

 They discuss:

• Property owner responsibilities involving retention ponds, trees, swings, and other conditions on private property, as well as liability when allowing people to use property for recreational purposes without charging a fee.

 Plus, callers ask real-world legal questions about:

• A utility company's attempt to estimate and charge for previous water usage after discovering a faulty meter sensor.

• Evicting someone who was originally allowed to live in a home, when the situation becomes a civil matter rather than criminal trespassing, and when a court order may be necessary before law enforcement can intervene.
