Texas Premises Liability

Land and building owners are obligated to provide clean, safe facilities for the public and employees. When someone is injured on another person’s property, the injured person may sue for damages from the property owner if there is proof the owner was negligent and could have prevented the injury. This describes an area of law known as Premises Liability.

 

Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents are the most common accidents in premises liability cases. A person can slip and fall from a huge number of factors that could vary widely depending on the facility. Some retailers and high-volume public facilities may need to take extra steps to prevent slip and fall accidents. Property owners must take reasonable efforts to ensure the safety of all visitors to the site, otherwise they may be liable if an accident or injuries occur.

What Causes Slip and Fall Accidents?

Debris that creates a hazard for walking the property can create a slip and fall situation. Improperly trained employees who neglect safety procedures can cause a slip and fall situation. Liquid spills, unpacked merchandise, crowded aisles, unstable displays and other situations common to retailers and restaurants can cause slip and fall accidents that lead to premises liability cases.

 

File your premises liability claim soon after any slip and fall accident and be sure to collect and preserve any evidence in support of your case.  Take photos of all accident injuries and write down exactly what happened during the accident, making note of any negligent factors that caused the slip and fall accident.
