The law in Texas requires that those who own or operate premises open to the public maintain the premises in a safe condition. Slip, trip, and fall accidents are the most common type of premises liability accident. Those in charge of the premises owe a duty of care to anyone legally on the property. If a property owner, lessee, manager, or maintenance contractor neglects to maintain and properly monitor the premises and fails to make repairs or post warnings, and a hazard occurs and is allowed to remain, if someone visiting the property is injured or killed as a result, the party responsible for the premises may be found liable for the victim’s damages.
If you have experienced a serious injury from a fall, chances are that you are in a lot of pain and are forced to restrict your activities substantially. You may be unable to work or take care of your regular duties in and around your home, and you have probably incurred piles of medical bills. When your fall was caused by a hazardous condition on someone else’s property in Texas, you may be able to recover money to compensate you for your economic and non-economic damages. You will, however, need to prove that the property owner was negligent and caused or allowed a hazardous condition to exist. This is best accomplished with the help of an experienced law firm and board-certified Dallas premises liability lawyer.
WHAT COMPENSATION OR DAMAGES COULD I BE ENTITLED TO?
The compensation or damages you could receive through a claim may be enough to help you and your family move forward after a serious property-related accident. With the help of an experienced Dallas premises liability attorney, you can potentially recover both economic and non-economic damages from a premises liability claim.
The monetary value of your case will depend on factors such as how much your injury impacted your life and whether you will continue to need medical care or disability accommodations. It could also rely on what the defendant did to cause your injuries. If the defendant was guilty of malice, fraud or gross negligence, you could receive additional compensation in the form of a punitive damage award.
