Austin Premises Liability Lawyer

When you step onto someone else’s property, whether a store, a restaurant, or a friend’s home, you have a reasonable expectation of safety. However, accidents can still happen due to negligence, poor maintenance, or oversight. From slips and falls to inadequate security and falling objects, premises liability accidents can cause serious damage.

Property Owner Responsibilities Under Texas Law

In Texas, property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises in a reasonably safe condition. Their responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

  • Conducting regular property inspections and maintenance
  • Addressing dangerous conditions as soon as reasonably possible
  • Warning visitors of potential injury risks
  • Implementing adequate security measures
  • Complying with building codes and regulations

The extent of a property owner’s duty depends on the visitor’s legal classification. For example, owners must inspect for hidden hazards, repair defects promptly, and warn of dangerous conditions to protect invitees, such as customers in a store. Licensees, such as social guests, are owed a slightly lesser duty—owners must address known dangers and warn of potential hazards but are not required to inspect for new ones. Trespassers are owed no duty of care, but property owners cannot intentionally harm them.

Navigating a premises liability case can be complex and overwhelming, especially when dealing with injuries. In these situations, an attorney from De La Garza Law Firm can handle the complexities of your claim on your behalf.
