Types of Premises Liability Cases

We fight for our clients' premises liability claims

Property owners have a legal responsibility to make sure their property — including buildings, parking lots, driveways, stairs and sidewalks — are reasonably safe for others. Landlords can be held liable if tenants are injured due to negligence. Business owners must keep their commercial property reasonably safe for visitors. Even the government can be held liable for injuries in some cases.

If you were injured on someone's property due to negligence, you may be entitled to compensation as part of a premises liability claim. The laws related to premises liability can be complex. To increase your chances of maximizing compensation, it's important to hire an experienced Texas premises liability lawyer.

Examples of Premises Liability Cases

Slips and fall claims are common in premises liability cases, but many other types of cases may involve:

• Accidents at places where children gather: Schools or playgrounds must be properly maintained to reduce risks of injuries. Day care centers must employ properly trained workers. Laws also require property owners with swimming pools to take steps to reduce risks of injury or drowning.
• Inadequate security: A poorly lighted apartment complex may create an environment that spurs criminal activity. Inadequate security may result in a crime against a person.
• Poor or inadequate building maintenance: A poorly secured handrail at a business or apartment complex can create a liability for the property owner.
• Accidents during recreational activity: Recreation accidents may involve someone boating or riding an all-terrain vehicle.

In general, we build a strong premises liability case for our clients by determining the following:

• The party responsible for the property that contained the condition (This is sometimes the owner, sometimes the renter or lessee, and sometimes both.)
• If the condition was known by the party responsible for the property and if the party did not take adequate steps to correct the condition.
• If the condition was present and apparent for a period of time in which the party responsible for the property should reasonably have been aware of the condition and corrected the problem.

You may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. Don't delay. Your rights may be affected.
