What Types Of Accidents Fall Under Premises Liability In Texas?

Premises liability encompasses a wide range of accidents. It refers to the factors that determine who is responsible for an injury that occurs on or because of someone else’s property. This can include things like:

• Slip-and-fall accidents and trips (such as slipping on a wet floor, tripping on a crack in the sidewalk or a hole in a yard)
• Swimming pool accidents (these can occur due to uncovered or unsecure pools, open gates, other dangerous conditions)
• Dog bites and other animal attacks
• Other premises defects (these can include things like inadequate security or other known hazards that the property owner failed to correct)

There are a large number of accidents and injuries that can be attributed to premises liability. Your personal injury lawyer can give you a better idea of whether or not your case can be considered a premises liability case.
