Premises liability is an area of personal injury law that holds property owners and occupiers responsible when unsafe conditions cause injury. Texas law requires property owners to take reasonable steps to inspect their property, address hazards, and warn visitors of dangers that are not immediately obvious.
Premises liability claims can arise on:
In Richardson, premises liability injuries frequently occur at busy retail locations, residential complexes, or near major corridors such as US-75 and LBJ Freeway (I-635).
Liability depends on who owned, controlled, or maintained the property at the time of the injury. Responsible parties may include:
In some cases, more than one party may share responsibility. Fielding Law investigates ownership records, maintenance agreements, and inspection practices to identify all potentially liable parties.
Slip and fall accidents are among the most common premises liability claims. They often occur due to:
These accidents can result in serious injuries, particularly for older adults.
Trip and fall accidents may involve:
Property owners may be liable when hazards exist long enough that they should have been discovered and repaired.
Property owners may be responsible for injuries caused by criminal activity if inadequate security measures contributed to the harm. These cases may involve:
Items falling from shelves, ceilings, or construction areas can cause serious head and spinal injuries. These cases often involve retail stores, warehouses, or construction-adjacent properties.
Premises liability accidents can lead to a wide range of injuries, including:
Many victims require emergency treatment at hospitals such as Baylor University Medical Center or Parkland Hospital, followed by extended rehabilitation and recovery.
Property owners and insurers frequently challenge premises liability claims. Common defenses include:
Fielding Law focuses on gathering evidence that shows how long the hazard existed, whether inspections were reasonable, and whether the property owner failed to take appropriate action.
To recover compensation, injured individuals typically must prove:
Evidence may include incident reports, surveillance footage, maintenance logs, witness statements, photographs, and expert testimony. Fielding Law builds organized, fact-driven cases that clearly connect negligence to injury.
Texas law considers the injured person’s status on the property when determining liability.
Invitees include customers and others on the property for business purposes. Property owners owe invitees the highest duty of care.
Licensees are social guests or others on the property with permission but not for business reasons. Owners must warn licensees of known dangers.
Property owners generally owe limited duties to trespassers, though exceptions may apply, especially when children are involved.
Understanding visitor status is critical in premises liability cases. Fielding Law evaluates how these classifications apply based on the facts of each case.
Most premises liability claims in Texas are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. This deadline generally begins on the date of the injury.
Claims involving government-owned property may involve shorter notice requirements. Because deadlines and procedural rules vary, early legal guidance is essential to protect your rights.
