Premises Liability
Holding property owners responsible for unsafe conditions on their premises
Premises Liability Attorney In Houston, Texas
What Is Premises Liability?
Property owners have a responsibility to address unsafe conditions that could cause harm to visitors, guests, or customers. Injuries can additionally occur in many ways, such as slip and fall accidents caused by wet floors, poor lighting, or falling objects that were not properly secured. When hazardous conditions are left unaddressed, the property owner may be held responsible for the injuries that result.
Under Texas law, property owners owe a duty of care to those lawfully on their premises. If that duty is breached and someone is injured, compensation may be available.

What Kinds of Situations Qualify as Premises Liability?
When a property owner fails to address a dangerous condition within a reasonable period of time, they may be held responsible for injuries that occur as a result. Common hazards include poor lighting, blocked walkways, torn carpeting, loose stairs or handrails, malfunctioning elevators, uneven steps, and slippery floors. These conditions should be corrected before a property is opened to guests or customers.
In some situations, liability may depend on whether the property owner knew—or should have known—about the hazard. For example, if a spill occurs and the owner had no reasonable opportunity to discover it, responsibility may be disputed. Because these cases can depend on specific details, it’s important to understand your rights as soon as possible after an accident.

What Should I Do If I Have an Accident on Someone Else’s Property?
After an injury on someone else’s property, your first priority should be getting medical care. Be sure to keep all records related to your treatment and recovery. If possible, return to the scene and take photographs of the conditions that caused your injury. If you’re unable to do so, ask someone you trust to document the area for you.
If the injury occurred at a business or other managed property, request that a written incident report be completed and keep a copy for your records. Taking these steps can help protect your rights and preserve important evidence. Allie Booker, a personal injury attorney serving Houston, Texas, can review your situation and help you pursue compensation for your injuries. Contact The Booker Law Firm to discuss your next steps.
