Texas Law Firm Handles Premises Liability Cases

Property owners are required by law to maintain their property and protect certain visitors from injury. An owner’s failure to take care of known problems or warn visitors about potential hazards may lead to serious injuries as well as liability for those injuries.

Examples of Premises Liability

When people think of premises liability, they often think of winter perils including icy parking lots, snowy sidewalks, and slippery steps. But property owners can also be held liable any time of the year for injuries caused by an uncoiled garden hose, a crack in their sidewalk, or a decorative item placed on their lawn or porch.

Accidents leading to premises liability can occur almost anywhere. Some of the common types of accidents and situations that may constitute premises liability include:

• Slip and falls
• Inadequate or negligent security or lighting
• Falling objects
• Escalator or elevator accidents
• Pool drowning
• Construction site accidents
• Playground accidents
• Uncleared steps and sidewalks
