Slipped on a wet grocery store floor? Hurt by a broken step or loose handrail? If you were injured on someone else’s property, you may have a premises liability claim. Understanding your legal rights is the first step toward recovering compensation.
What is premises liability?
Property owners in Texas and Oklahoma are legally required to maintain safe conditions on their land and in their buildings. If they fail to repair a hazard or fail to warn visitors, and someone gets hurt as a result, the property owner may be responsible.
Common causes of premises liability claims include:
- Slips and falls at businesses or restaurants
- Poor lighting or security in parking lots
- Dog bites on private property
- Broken stairs, loose tiles, or faulty handrails
- Unsafe rental property conditions
What to do if you are injured:
- Get medical attention immediately, even if injuries seem minor.
- Take photos of the scene, the hazard, and your injuries.
- Report the accident to the property owner or manager.
- Speak with a premises liability attorney before discussing anything with insurance.
