Do You Have a Premises Liability Case?
Premises liability cases fall into negligence or personal injury law and include injuries that result from a hazardous condition or activity on the premises. In most cases, this law favors the property owner and requires that the victim or injured person prove that the event or condition that caused the bodily injury was dangerous and not open and obvious. Moreover, victims may win cases of this nature by proving that the property owner was aware of the hazard or risk before the injury occurred and did not take any action to correct the dangerous condition or warn the injured person of it.
More often than not, homeowners, renters and business owners have liability insurance that will pay for the defense of the property owner or business against negligence or personal injury claims. This insurance also offers covers compensation that the owner would be liable to pay for the injuries or damages in question.
If you are the victim of personal injury due to dangerous conditions or activities on someone else’s property, it is essential that you work with a personal injury law firm such as Reynolds & Reynolds.
Since the state of Texas places a heavy burden on the victim in these types of cases by requiring them to prove that the property owner is responsible for the injury, be sure that you provide your attorney with critical information, including:
- Photographs of the site or hazardous condition
- Names of any and all witnesses
- Statements made by the witnesses or property owner
