Property owners in Texas have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors. When they fail to do so, and someone is injured as a result, they can be held liable. I represent people injured in slip and fall accidents, trip and fall incidents, and other dangerous property conditions across South Texas.
Common Premises Liability Scenarios
Wet or slippery floors without warning signs, uneven sidewalks and parking lots, poorly lit stairwells, broken handrails, falling merchandise, inadequate security leading to assault, swimming pool accidents, and construction site hazards are among the most common premises liability claims I handle.
What You Must Prove
To succeed in a premises liability claim in Texas, you generally must show that the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition, failed to fix it or warn you about it, and that their failure caused your injury. The specific duty owed depends on your legal status — whether you were an invitee, licensee, or trespasser.
Acting Quickly Matters
Evidence in premises liability cases can disappear fast. Surveillance footage gets overwritten, conditions get repaired, and witnesses forget details. The sooner you contact me, the sooner I can investigate the scene, preserve evidence, and build a strong case.
Injuries from Property Negligence
Slip and fall accidents can cause broken bones, head injuries, back and spinal injuries, torn ligaments, and chronic pain. These injuries often require surgery, physical therapy, and extended time away from work.
