Common Causes

Burned out lights in parking garages and parking lots left unreplaced
Dark stairwells in apartment complexes and commercial buildings
Poorly lit walkways between buildings and parking areas
Inadequate exterior lighting creating blind spots for pedestrians
Timer or sensor lighting that fails to activate
Property owners reducing lighting to save on electricity costs

Typical Injuries

Trip and fall injuries caused by unseen hazards in darkness
Assault and robbery injuries enabled by dark areas
Parking lot vehicle and pedestrian collisions in low light
Stairway falls from inability to see steps clearly
Ankle and knee injuries from stepping into unseen depressions
Psychological trauma from assaults in poorly lit areas

How We Prove Liability

Poor lighting cases combine premises liability principles with the specific duty to provide adequate illumination in areas where visitors are expected to walk. Lighting surveys comparing the property illumination levels to industry standards such as those published by the Illuminating Engineering Society help establish that the lighting was inadequate. When criminal activity occurs in a poorly lit area, the property owner may face negligent security claims in addition to standard premises liability.

Texas Legal Framework

Texas premises liability law requires property owners to maintain safe conditions for invitees, and adequate lighting is a recognized component of that duty. Texas courts have found property owners liable for injuries occurring in poorly lit areas when the owner knew or should have known about the lighting deficiency. For negligent security claims arising from criminal attacks in dark areas, Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 33 proportionate responsibility principles apply to allocate fault between the property owner and the criminal actor.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Medina & Medina, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront and no fees unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery.

In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, there are exceptions that may shorten or extend this deadline, so it’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.

You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases, punitive damages. The amount depends on the specific circumstances of your case.

While you’re not required to have a lawyer, having experienced legal representation typically results in higher settlements. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working for them, and you deserve someone advocating for your interests too.

Compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and impact on your life. Contact Medina & Medina for a free evaluation of your case.

Helpful evidence includes police reports, medical records, photos of the scene, witness statements, and insurance information. Our team will help you gather all necessary documentation.
