Injured On Public Or Private Property Due To Negligence ?
The experienced attorneys at Liggett Law Group can help.
When most people think of premises liability accidents, they usually imagine someone slipping on a wet floor in a grocery store. While slip and falls are some of the most common premises liability cases, other types include not providing adequate security in places like parking garages, railings and balconies failing or becoming loose, and not keeping properties maintained among other things.
Texas Premises Liability Law
Premises liability is the legal theory stating that if you are injured on public or private property due to the negligence of the property owner, you can sue to recover damages for your injuries.
If someone owns a piece of property, no matter what type, they have a duty to keep visitors free from harm that they could sustain when visiting the property. While a property owner is not necessarily liable for every injury that occurs on their land, they are liable for injuries that were caused when they breach a duty owed to a particular visitor. The extent of the duty owed by a property owner is determined by the reason that the visitor came to the property.

Classification of Visitors
Texas law identifies three classifications of visitor that may go onto someone’s property:
Licensee – a visitor invited to private property by the owner, like when a friend invites you over to their house.
Invitee – someone that visits a property open to the public for an economic purpose, such as a shopper in a retail store.
Trespasser – someone who is on another’s property without permission.
What to Do After an Injury on Someone Else’s Property
After any accident, always seek medical attention. It is very important that your injuries are addressed immediately to prevent further complications. Once you have sought medical attention, you are going to need the help of an attorney. Premises liability cases can be complex, and only an experienced lawyer will be able to conduct an investigation and protect your rights.
Property Insurance and Injury Victims
While many types of property insurance include coverage for individuals injured on the covered property, the reality is that insurance is first and foremost a business. This means that many insurance companies are more concerned with their bottom line than helping individuals. Insurance companies often offer low ball settlements that rarely compensation for the total cost of injuries. If an insurance company makes you an offer, do not accept it before talking to an attorney.
