Premises Liability

Dallas Premises Liability Attorney - Premises Liability Lawyer in the North Texas Areas

Premises liability is an area of personal injury where a person is injured while on another party's property. If you were injured at someone else's home or a commercial establishment, the person or entity responsible for the premises may be found liable. This can cover a variety of situations including slip and falls, dog bites, assaults, among others. The person liable for your damages is the party in control of the property. That party is responsible for the care, maintenance and inspection of the property. For example, an owner may not be the responsible party if he or she has leased the property to another party who actually has control over the premises.

The responsible party must pay for damages if the injured party proves that (1) the condition of the property was dangerous; (2) the owner knew, or should have known, about the dangerous condition; and (3) the owner had a reasonable opportunity to correct or warn of the condition, which was not reasonably open and obvious to the injured party at the time of the accident. In general, it is the duty of an owner to exercise reasonable care in the maintenance of the premises.

A premises liability injury is caused by the negligent management or control of the premises by the property owner or operator, and may occur in a variety of locations, including a residence, school, shopping mall, or grocery store. In the state of Texas the owner or operator of a property is legally responsible for the safety of others while on the property. This includes residents, visitors, employees, and other individuals on the property.

A slip and fall, or trip and fall accident, is the most common type of premises liability injury. In this instance the injured person slips or trips on an unsafe surface that should have been properly maintained by the defendant. Slippery floors, broken stairs, uneven sidewalks and poorly lit walkways are all examples of potential hazards. A premises liability accident may result in serious injuries for the victim, such as:

      Fractured bones
      Head injury
      Spinal cord injury
      Bruising
      Concussion

The medical expenses associated with premises liability injuries may be very significant. With the representation of an experienced premises liability lawyer you may be able to recover monetary compensation for your injuries.
