Understanding the Responsibilities of a Property Owner or Manager Under Texas Premises Liability Laws?
  • The phrase "premises liability" refers to a set of regulations in Texas that compel property owners to take specific reasonable precautions to guarantee that their property is safe for guests.
  • In Texas, property owners and residents have a responsibility to protect invitees, customers, other visitors, and even kids who trespass onto their premises from harm. If a property owner is aware of, or should be aware of, a hazard and fails to rectify it and notify visitors, this may be considered negligence.
  • Some examples of negligence when it comes to safekeeping a property include failure to provide a well-lit parking lot, failure to post hazard signs of unsafe stairs or railings, failure to post caution signs after a spill, just to name a few.

If you are unsure of the validity of your claim, an injury attorney in San Antonio can best advise you on the best course of action and clarify any confusion you may have.

What Is the Law of Attractive Nuisance?

Property owners may be liable for injuries to children who trespass on land if the injury is caused by a hazardous object, like a swimming pool, that is likely to appeal to children who are unable to grasp the danger posed by the object or condition. In these cases, a property owner is required to take appropriate steps, such as erecting a wall or installing a fence, to prevent injury and even death.
