San Antonio Premises Liability FAQs

Accidents happen all the time, frequently when we least expect it. The purpose of personal injury laws is to protect the victims of these accidents in the event they were injured due to the negligence of another. This principle extends to building or property owners. If you were injured on a San Antonio property, you may be eligible to file a personal injury lawsuit.
