Texas Premises Liability Representing the Injured
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, millions of people experience an accidental fall every year. One in five of these falls causes a serious injury.
Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises in a safe condition. The concept of premises liability holds a property owner legally responsible for accidents and injuries that occur on their property or around their business. Premises liability cases usually involve injuries that are the result of unstable and unsafe conditions on the defendant’s property.
Premises liability refers to the legal responsibility of property owners to maintain a safe environment for visitors. Whether it’s a slip and fall, inadequate security leading to an assault, or a dog bite, property owners are obligated to ensure their premises are reasonably safe. When they fail to do so and an injury occurs, they can be held liable for damages.
Types of Premises Liability Cases
- Slip and Falls: These are among the most common premises liability cases. Slippery floors, uneven surfaces, and poor lighting can lead to serious injuries.
- Inadequate Maintenance: Neglected maintenance can create hazardous conditions such as broken stairs, loose handrails, or crumbling sidewalks.
- Dog Bites: When a property owner’s dog attacks, the owner can be held liable for resulting injuries.
- Inadequate Security: Property owners must provide adequate security to protect visitors from foreseeable criminal acts.
