Common Causes

  • Failure to maintain property in a reasonably safe condition
  • Negligent security allowing criminal attacks on the property
  • Unmarked hazards such as holes, drops, and obstructions
  • Building code violations creating unsafe conditions
  • Defective elevators, escalators, and automatic doors
  • Failure to repair known dangerous conditions in a timely manner

Typical Injuries

  • Traumatic brain injuries from falls and falling objects
  • Broken bones and fractures from structural failures
  • Assault injuries resulting from negligent security
  • Drowning and near drowning at pools and water features
  • Elevator and escalator entrapment injuries
  • Burns from fire hazards and code violations

How We Prove Liability

Premises liability claims require proving the property owner or occupier had actual or constructive knowledge of the dangerous condition. Evidence of prior incidents on the property, maintenance records, inspection logs, and building code violations helps establish that the owner knew or should have known about the hazard. The length of time the dangerous condition existed before the injury is a critical factor in establishing constructive knowledge.

Texas Legal Framework

Texas premises liability law categorizes visitors as invitees, licensees, or trespassers, with each receiving a different level of duty from the property owner. Invitees, including customers at businesses, are owed the highest duty of care under Texas common law, requiring the owner to inspect for and warn of hidden dangers. Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 95.003 provides some protections for property owners regarding claims by independent contractors, but this does not eliminate the general duty to maintain safe premises.
