Personal Injury & Risk Assessment: Protecting the Equestrian Community
Proactive Protection: Equine Risk Assessment
The best way to handle a personal injury claim is to prevent it from ever happening. We provide comprehensive risk assessment services designed for farm owners, trainers, and boarding facilities to minimize liability exposure.
Liability Waiver Audits: Ensuring your release forms are enforceable under Florida’s specific equine statutes.
Facility Safety Reviews: Identifying physical risks on your property that could lead to negligence claims.
Equine Activity Liability Act Compliance: Guidance on proper signage and statutory requirements to maintain legal protections.
Operational Procedures: Drafting safety protocols for staff, guests, and riders.
Comprehensive Personal Injury Representation
When safety measures fail, the results can be life-altering. Attorney Jorge E. Sevilla provides bilingual, compassionate, and aggressive representation for individuals injured in horse-related incidents, including:
Riding and Training Accidents: Determining if an instructor or facility failed in their duty of care.
Equine-Related Vehicle Collisions: Handling complex cases involving escaped livestock on roadways.
Defective Tack & Equipment: Holding manufacturers or sellers accountable for equipment failure.
Inadequate Supervision: Representing those injured due to improper management of horses or riders.
Legal Note: Under Florida Statutes, an equine activity sponsor or professional is not liable for an injury to or the death of a participant in equine activities resulting from the inherent risks of equine activities. However, there are significant exceptions. Do not assume you are unprotected or without recourse.
In the "Horse Capital of the World," the bond between horse and rider is a way of life.

Sevilla, we combine deep legal expertise with an intimate understanding of Ocala’s unique equestrian landscape to advocate for the injured and protect the industry’s future.
