Texas Premises Liability Claims

Owners and occupiers of property owe invited people a duty to exercise ordinary care:

To keep the premises in reasonably safe condition.
To inspect the premises to discover dangerous conditions we can’t really see.
And to make safe any defects or give an adequate warning.

Failing to warn about a hazard and failing to remedy a dangerous condition are typically key factual issues in a premises liability case.

Types of Premises Liability Cases

Slip-and-fall accident

Premises liability encompasses a wide array of incidents, each with its unique characteristics and legal implications. One of the most common types of premises liability cases involves slip-and-fall accidents. These incidents typically occur when a visitor slips on a wet floor, trips over an uneven surface, or falls due to poor lighting. To establish liability in such cases, it must be proven that the property owner was aware—or should have been aware—of the hazardous condition and failed to take appropriate action to rectify it.

Inadequate Security

Another significant category of premises liability cases includes inadequate security claims. Property owners have a duty to provide a safe environment for their guests, which includes implementing reasonable security measures. If a visitor is injured due to criminal activity on the premises, such as assault or theft, they may be able to hold the property owner liable if it can be shown that proper security measures were not in place, or if the owner neglected to address known security issues.

Elevator & Escalator Injuries

Elevator and escalator accidents are another type of premises liability case. Elevators or escalators can cause serious injuries, often resulting from mechanical failures, poor maintenance, or operator negligence. These incidents commonly occur in commercial buildings, shopping centers, or apartment complexes, and may involve sudden drops, abrupt stops, or entrapment.

Property owners, maintenance companies, and manufacturers may all be held responsible depending on the cause of the accident. Victims have the right to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
