Dallas Premises Liability Lawyers

Allen & Pugh, P.C., Representing premises liability clients in Dallas, Texas

Premises liability is an area of law that references the responsibility of land owners to make sure that their property is free of hazardous conditions and is safe for third parties. A common example of a premises liability case is when a patron exits a grocery store and slips while crossing an ice covered parking lot. In this example, the patron is the victim, and he/she may file a lawsuit against the store owner (property owner) because he/she failed to have the ice removed and prevent possible accidents and injuries.

Do you have a Texas Premises Liability Case?

The laws surrounding premises liability cases are very complicated. Before any person decides to move forward with a premises liability lawsuit, he/she will want to sit down with a knowledgeable attorney to review the following questions:

Was the condition of the property hazardous or dangerous? If the answer to this question is “yes”, then people should be able to discuss how the conditions were dangerous and what evidence may be presented to prove that the conditions were in fact harmful.
Should the property owner know that the dangerous conditions existed? Sometimes, property owners are truly unaware of hazards. Other times, they may know about conditions, but fail to do anything to make repairs. In the latter case, the property owner is behaving negligently. An example of this would if a property owner knew there was ice on his/her stairs, but failed to fix the condition, and then someone slipped and fell on the stairs and was injured.
Did the property owner have sufficient time to discover and fix the hazardous condition? This is truly a tricky question and is usually best answered after a person has reviewed his/her case with an experienced premises liability lawyer. Proving awareness and a person’s actions is a difficult task that can only be accomplished with the aid of a skilled attorney.
