Premises Liability Lawyer Houston Liability

Property owners and businesses have a legal duty to keep their premises safe. When they fail — and someone gets hurt — that’s premises liability. Whether you slipped in a store, fell at a jobsite, or were injured on someone else’s property, you may be entitled to compensation.

Common Premises Liability Claims

Slip and fall accidents

Wet or slippery floors without warning signs

Uneven pavement, broken stairs, or poor lighting

Negligent security leading to assault

Swimming pool accidents

Falling objects or unsafe shelving

Dog bites on owner's property

Injuries These Accidents Cause

Fractured bones

Hip fractures

Lacerations

Head & brain injuries

Spinal injuries

Permanent disability

What to Do After a Slip & Fall

Photograph the hazard and surroundings immediately

Get the name of any nearby employees or witnesses

Seek medical attention — even if injuries seem minor

File an official accident report with the store or property manager

Do not post about the incident on social media

Contact a premises liability attorney before speaking to insurers

Medical records and incident reports are critical evidence. The sooner you act, the stronger your case.

Signs You Have a Valid Claim

You likely have grounds to pursue a premises liability claim if:

You were injured and required medical treatment

The property owner failed to warn of a known hazard

You were not responsible for causing the accident

The owner had a duty of care and failed to uphold it

To win, you must prove the owner was negligent and that negligence caused your injuries. Doing this alone — especially against a large retailer and their insurance company — is difficult without experienced legal help.
