What is premises liability?
Premises liability is a legal concept in personal injury law that holds property owners and occupiers responsible for maintaining a safe environment. This area of law applies to various situations where hazardous conditions cause injuries, including:
- Slip and fall accidents: Wet floors, uneven pavement, and poorly lit areas are common causes.
- Dog bites: Property owners may be liable if their pet attacks someone.
- Swimming pool accidents: Lack of proper barriers, warnings, or maintenance can lead to liability.
- Negligent security: Inadequate security measures that result in harm, such as assaults, can be grounds for a claim.
To succeed in a premises liability case, you must prove that the property owner’s negligence directly caused your injuries.
Where premises liability accidents happen
Premises liability accidents can happen in a variety of settings. Common locations include:
- Commercial properties: Grocery stores, shopping malls, restaurants, and hotels are frequent sites of accidents.
- Residential properties: Homeowners may be liable for unsafe conditions that injure guests.
- Public spaces: Parks, sidewalks, and government-owned buildings must also be maintained to prevent accidents.
Regardless of where the accident occurs, property owners in Texas have a duty to address hazards and warn visitors of potential risks.
We stand ready to protect your rights, prove fault, and collect maximum tax-free payment for your injury claims.
Common premises liability injuries
Injuries from premises liability accidents can range from minor to severe. Common injuries include:
- Broken bones: Fractures are often caused by slips, trips, or falls.
- Head injuries: Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can result from striking the head during a fall or other accident.
- Spinal cord injuries:These injuries can lead to chronic pain, limited mobility, or paralysis.
- Soft tissue injuries: Sprains, strains, and torn ligaments are common in falls and other accidents.
- Burns: Fires, hot surfaces, or hazardous chemicals can cause severe burns.
Even seemingly minor injuries can lead to long-term complications, making it essential to seek medical attention and legal advice promptly.
Causes of premises liability accidents
Premises liability accidents often result from negligence. Common causes include:
- Wet or slippery floors
- Uneven or cracked walkways
- Poor lighting in stairwells or parking lots
- Faulty handrails or stairs
- Cluttered or obstructed pathways
- Lack of warning signs for hazards
- Negligent security measures
When property owners fail to address these issues or warn visitors, they can be held liable for resulting injuries.
Why are premises liability claims complicated?
Premises liability cases are rarely straightforward. One of the biggest challenges is determining liability, especially when multiple parties may share responsibility. Potentially liable parties can include:
- Property owners: Responsible for overall safety and maintenance.
- Property managers: Tasked with daily upkeep and addressing hazards.
- Tenants: In some cases, tenants may be liable for maintaining safe conditions in rented spaces.
- Third-party contractors: Maintenance companies or security firms can also bear responsibility if their negligence contributes to an accident.
Additionally, proving negligence often requires gathering evidence, such as surveillance footage, witness statements, and maintenance records. This makes it so important to work with an experienced premises liability attorney.
