Corpus Christi Premises Liability Attorneys

Serious injuries can happen in multiple different situations, and when these injuries are caused by other people's negligence, victims will want to understand their options for pursuing financial compensation. When a person is injured while on someone else's property, they may be able to hold the property owner responsible for failing to protect their safety. To ensure that issues related to premises liability are addressed correctly, victims can work with a lawyer who understands the laws that affect personal injury cases.

We work to make sure property owners or others who were responsible for a victim's injuries are held liable for their acts of negligence.

Representation for Victims Injured on Someone Else's Property

A property owner or the tenant who is in control of an establishment or residence has what is known as a "duty of care" toward people who are authorized to visit the property. They are required to address any hazards that may affect people's safety, either by repairing these issues or providing visitors with warnings about potential risks. A property owner or tenant who did not properly address hazards may be held liable for injuries suffered by visitors.

Our firm provides representation in multiple types of premises liability cases, including:

• Slip, trip, and fall accidents - Wet floors, tripping hazards, damaged railings, or dangerous stairwells can lead to serious fall injuries, and victims may pursue compensation from a property owner who failed to address these issues and prevent accidents.
• Dog bites - Attacks by dogs can lead to multiple types of injuries that may have long-term effects on a victim's life and health. In these cases, victims will need to understand when a dog's owner may be held liable under Texas laws and how they can pursue compensation for their damages.
• Injuries at stores or restaurants - Injuries can occur at retail establishments or shopping centers in many different situations. In addition to fall injuries, a person may be harmed by falling merchandise, improper crowd control procedures, or food poisoning. Victims will need to understand who was responsible for these types of injuries and the steps they can take to hold these parties liable for their damages.
• Swimming pool accidents - Drownings or other types of injuries can occur if a public pool does not have lifeguards that have been trained properly. Visitors to a public or private pool may also be injured because of defective equipment or other safety issues that should have been addressed by the pool's owner.
• Injuries caused by negligent security - Patrons of a bar, nightclub, restaurant, or other establishment may suffer harm if security staff do not take the proper measures to protect their safety. A property owner may be held liable for these types of injuries or for robberies or assaults that occur because of a lack of security systems.
