Common Types of Premises Liability Claims

Premises liability cases can arise from a variety of hazardous conditions. Common incidents include:

  • Slip & Fall Accidents: Often caused by wet floors, uneven surfaces, or inadequate lighting. It's essential for property owners to routinely check and maintain areas frequented by visitors to minimize these risks.
  • Inadequate Security: Property owners may be liable if their failure to provide adequate security results in an injury. This encompasses issues such as insufficient lighting in parking lots or lack of security personnel, which can lead to criminal activities.
  • Dog Bites: Pet owners may be held responsible if their animal attacks someone on their property. Texas law imposes a duty on pet owners to control their pets and prevent them from causing harm, especially if the owner knows the animal has aggressive tendencies.
  • Swimming Pool Accidents can result from a lack of barriers, warning signs, or supervision. Pools must adhere to local safety codes, including proper fencing and visible warning notices, to prevent accidental drowning or injury.

  • Document the Scene: Take photos and notes of the hazardous conditions contributing to your injury. This documentation can provide undeniable proof when determining liability.

Premises Liability FAQ

What Is the Statute of Limitations for Premises Liability in Texas?

In Texas, the statute of limitations for filing a premises liability lawsuit is generally two years from the date of the incident. This timeframe emphasizes the importance of timely legal consultation to ensure your rights are preserved and meet all legal deadlines. Acting quickly can significantly affect the strength and outcome of your case.

What Compensation Can I Pursue in Premises Liability Cases?

Compensation in premises liability cases could include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and potentially punitive damages if the property owner’s negligence was particularly egregious. Our attorneys diligently quantify and maximize your compensation to support your recovery and future well-being.

What Are the Common Defenses in Premises Liability Cases?

Property owners may argue comparative negligence, suggesting the injured party was partially or fully responsible for their accident. They might also contend that the hazard was marked or that the injury occurred in an open area. A skilled premises liability attorney will counter these defenses with sound evidence and argumentation.

In addition to these defenses, property owners might claim that the dangerous condition was open and obvious, arguing that the injured individual should have taken reasonable care to avoid it. It's crucial to have an attorney who can effectively navigate these complex legal arguments and advocate for your best interests.
