Premises Liability Lawyer
Premises liability represents the legal responsibility a landowner has for certain activities on his/her property. Premise liability law in Texas is complex and mandates the responsibilities an owner or occupier of real property owes to the people on the property. These laws establish the guidelines and accountability property owners have to residents or visitors who are injured on their property.
Each year, thousands of people are hurt while in someone else's home or place of business. These injuries or even deaths could occur in a number of everyday circumstances including falls down stairs, injuries from building defects, fires or by the intentional acts of a third party. Inadequate security in apartments and condominium projects can allow sexual predators access to tenants and their guests. Premises law establishes the obligations a property owner needs to employ to reasonably protect his/her occupants that are lawfully on the premise. Areas of concern for premises liability include proper maintenance, toxic substances and criminal acts of third parties based on non-existent or inadequate security as well as structure fires and even industrial explosions.
