Reclaim Damages With Specialized Personal Injury Attorneys

Maximizing Compensation for Slip and Fall Injuries

If you’ve ever suffered injuries because of a slip and fall at the mall, in a grocery parking lot, or at work, you may have a cause of action against the property owner. Premise liability laws require commercial property owners to provide adequate security and safety for their customers, tenants, and other vendors. Most of the time, however, the reality is very different from the law. Our slip and fall attorneys in Texas are here to help whenever someone is injured on an unsafe or poorly maintained property.

How does Texas law define property owners and occupiers?

Texas law distinguishes between invitees (owed the highest duty of care), licensees (owed moderate protection), and trespassers (owed minimal duty).

Texas law distinguishes between “invitees,” “licensees,” and “trespassers” when it comes to premises liability. Invitees are owed the highest duty of care, while licensees and trespassers have different levels of protection. Invitees are people invited onto the property for business purposes or for the benefit of the property owner, such as customers in a store, patrons at a restaurant, or clients visiting an office.

What is the duty of care owed to invitees in Texas?

Property owners must exercise reasonable care to make the property safe, warn of hidden dangers, and regularly inspect and maintain the premises.

Property owners in Texas owe invitees a duty to exercise reasonable care to make the property safe, warn of any hidden dangers, and regularly inspect and maintain the premises. This comprehensive duty represents the highest level of care that property owners must provide, and understanding its full scope is essential to determining whether a property owner has been negligent.

What should I do if I’m injured on someone else’s property?

Seek medical attention, document the scene and injuries, report the incident to the property owner, gather witness information, and consult with a premises liability attorney.

Seek immediate medical attention, document the scene and your injuries, report the incident to the property owner or management, and gather contact information from any witnesses. Consult with a Texas premises liability attorney if you believe negligence was involved. Taking the right steps immediately after a premises liability accident can significantly impact your ability to recover compensation and protect your legal rights.

Is Texas a comparative negligence state for premises liability cases?

Yes, Texas follows modified comparative negligence, allowing you to recover compensation if you’re less than 51% at fault, though your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.

However, your recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault, and if you are found to be more than 50% responsible, you may be barred from recovering any compensation. This rule applies to all personal injury cases in Texas, including premises liability claims.
