Premises liability cases arise when a property owner fails to maintain reasonably safe conditions, and someone is injured as a result.
These cases are highly fact specific and often depend on evidence that is time-sensitive.
What Is Premises Liability in Texas
Under Texas law, property owners may be responsible for injuries caused by unsafe conditions on their property. This includes commercial properties, residential complexes, and public spaces.
Common Types of Premises Liability Cases
FOREVER LEGAL handles cases involving:
- Slip and fall accidents
- Trip and fall hazards
- Wet or unmarked flooring
- Poor lighting conditions
- Unsafe stairways
- Broken handrails
- Negligent security incidents
- Falling merchandise or objects
What Must Be Proven in a Slip and Fall Case
To establish liability, evidence may be needed to show:
- The property owner knew or should have known about the hazard
- The condition created an unreasonable risk of harm
- The hazard was not corrected within a reasonable time
- The hazard directly caused the injury
Evidence That Matters in These Cases
Key evidence often includes:
- Surveillance footage
- Maintenance logs
- Incident reports
- Witness statements
- Photographs of the hazard
- Medical documentation
In many cases, this evidence can be lost or overwritten quickly if not preserved.
Insurance Company Defense Strategies
Property insurers often argue:
- The hazard was open and obvious
- The injured person was not paying attention
- There was no prior notice of the condition
- These defenses are common and must be addressed with evidence.
