What Is Premises Liability?
Premises liability is the legal responsibility property owners have to maintain safe conditions. If someone is injured due to a hazardous condition on the property, like a wet floor or broken handrail, the owner may be liable for damages.
What Should I Do After an Accident on Someone Else's Property?
Seek medical attention immediately and report the incident to the property owner or manager. Take photos of the scene, collect witness info, and avoid speaking to insurers before consulting with a premises liability lawyer.
Categories of Visitors
Texas law separates visitors into three groups:
- Invitees are owed the highest duty of care, such as customers in a store.
- Licensees, like social guests, must be warned of known dangers.
- Trespassers are owed limited protection, mainly to prevent intentional harm.
Types of Premises Liability Cases
These cases often involve unsafe property conditions such as slip-and-fall accidents, inadequate lighting or security, uneven walkways, and other hazards. When property owners fail to address or warn of these dangers, they may be held legally accountable.
How Do Slip and Fall Injuries Occur?
Slip and fall injuries typically happen due to unsafe conditions like wet floors, loose rugs, uneven pavement, poor lighting, or lack of warning signs. These hazards are common in places like stores, restaurants, parking lots, and apartment complexes.
Common Types of Premises Liability Injuries
Premises liability accidents can lead to a range of injuries, including broken bones, sprained ankles, back and neck injuries, head trauma, spinal cord damage, and emotional distress. Even seemingly minor accidents can have long-term physical effects.
How a Premises Liability Lawyer Helps With a Claim
A premises liability lawyer investigates the accident, gathers evidence, identifies responsible parties, and handles communication with insurers. They build a strong case to recover full compensation and represent you in court if a fair settlement isn’t offered.
What Compensation Can I Get in a Premises Liability Case?
You may be entitled to both economic and non-economic damages:
- Economic Damages include medical and rehab costs, lost income, out-of-pocket expenses, help with daily tasks, and assistive device costs.
- Non-Economic Damages cover pain and suffering, emotional distress, disfigurement, disability, loss of enjoyment of life, and—if applicable—loss of consortium in wrongful death cases.
