Premises Liability Lawyer in Carrollton, Texas

Do You Have A Cause of Action?

To bring a premises liability claim in the state of Texas, an injured person must be able to prove each of the following six elements:

• A condition existed on the property that posed an unreasonable risk of harm;
• The property owner knew, or should have known, about the condition and the risk of harm that it posed;
• The property owner should have anticipated that any person on their property could not have known about that risk or condition and would fail to protect themselves from it;
• The property owner was negligent in their failure to correct or mitigate the risk or condition;
• Someone was injured as a result of the property owner’s negligence; and
• The injury was a direct result of the risk or condition that existed on the property.

If you have met all six of these conditions and you have been injured due to the negligence of the property owner, then you may be able to bring a claim and receive compensation for all of your injuries and economic losses. It should be noted that there are only two defenses to a premises liability that a property owner can put forth in their defense. These defenses are:

• The property owner was not negligent. The owner did not create the hazard or condition that caused your injuries and they had no prior knowledge of the alleged condition.
• The injured party was negligent. The injured party did not exercise due care.
