Laredo Texas Premises Liability Law - How to File and Win Your Case

Texas is well-known for its BBQ, football, and sweltering weather. But many people are unaware that Texas is a state with a well-deserved reputation as a pioneer in the area of legal liability legislation. Texas was the first state in the union to pass a law establishing premises liability as a legitimate cause of action.

The area of premises liability law falls under the legal definition of liability. The Texas Premises Liability Law protects people who are hurt while on another person's property or while they are inside another person's property. You may be eligible to pursue a premises claim with the aid of an experienced team of premises liability lawyers in Laredo Tx if you are hurt on the property of a business or if you are hurt while working for someone else.

In the state of Texas, you can hold property owners liable for injuries that occur on their land if they are aware of a dangerous condition and fail to take reasonable steps to correct it. This is known as premises liability law, and it applies equally to commercial tenants and homeowners alike.

The Texas Premises Liability Act governs all premises liability cases in our state. The Act requires that a landowner or person in charge of a property take all reasonable steps to protect visitors from injury, death, or property damage. The key word here is "reasonable."

1. Inform the manager of the accident immediately.
2. File an accident/incident report with the company.
3. If possible take pictures of the dangerous area.
4. Get names of witnesses and statements.
5. Seek medical attention and explain the incident to the doctor in detail.
6. Consult with a lawyer.

Although a premises liability attorney's help is not required by law, it is almost always necessary. A legal expert can help you win your case and collect the compensation that you are owed.

A premises liability attorney can also assist with some of the legal aspects of filing a lawsuit and negotiating a settlement if an agreement cannot be reached between both parties during mediation. If a person is injured on someone else's property due to negligence or recklessness, they may be eligible for damages through a premises liability lawsuit based on:

• Negligence - The property owner was negligent in providing adequate security measures or had inadequate lighting at night;
• Recklessness – The property owner did not take reasonable precautions against harm caused by their actions or decisions despite knowing there would be an increased risk of harm due to those actions/decisions; or
• Breach of contract – There was an explicit contractual obligation between two parties but one party failed to uphold their end of this agreement which resulted in injury or other losses sustained by the other party

There are several steps to take in order to effectively sue someone if you were hurt on their property. Get in touch with us if you have any inquiries about the process or need help submitting a claim.
