Injured by Unsafe Property?
Understanding Premises Liability:
Property owners and occupiers are not guarantors or insurers of your safety when you’re on their property.
Premise liability cases can be some of the most difficult cases an injured party can pursue. You have to prove that there was what is known as an unreasonably dangerous condition on the property,and that the owner or occupier failed to warn of the condition or failed to make the condition safe. It must also be shown that the owner or occupier knew of the condition, or should have known about it through reasonable inspections, and that this failure directly caused injury and damages.Owners such as grocery stores constantly deny any knowledge of an unsafe condition and will use their inspection policies to show that they continually inspect the property so whatever condition was there could not have been there for very long. Also, should they have video of the incident there are under no legal duty to keep the video until such time as they have been provided with an evidence preservation letter.
In addition, the action of the injured party in encountering the condition will be measured against that of the property owner or occupier.
Understanding Premises Liability:
Premises liability in Texas refers to the legal responsibility property owners and occupiers have to keep their premises safe for visitors. When unsafe conditions (such as poor maintenance, inadequate security, or unaddressed hazards) lead to an injury, the property owner may be held liable for the damage.
Under Texas law, property owners owe a duty of care to ensure their space is reasonably safe for anyone legally on the property. This includes repairing known dangers, warning guests of potential risks, and taking preventive measures to avoid accidents.
Common grounds for premises liability claims include:
- Slip and fall or trip and fall accidents
- Inadequate lighting or security
- Unsafe stairs, walkways, or flooring
- Dog bites or animal attacks
- Pool, elevator, or escalator accidents
- Negligent property maintenance
If you’ve been injured because of unsafe property conditions, our knowledgeable Houston premises liability attorneys can help you understand your rights and pursue the compensation you deserve.
