What is Premises Liability?
Premises liability lawsuits refer to lawsuits that are filed against a property owner for an injury sustained on that property. These lawsuits can involve a property as large as a stadium or property as small as your neighbor’s backyard. Under the law, a property owner assumes some amount of responsibility for the safety of their property, so if a person is injured on the property and it is found that the property was unsafe or had unmarked dangers, the property owner may be financially responsible for the injuries sustained.
If you have been injured on another person’s property, you may be entitled to financial compensation for your injuries and recovery costs. Contact an experienced Houston premises liability attorney of Williams Kherkher today at 832-369-8296 to discuss your legal rights and options.
Examples of Unmarked Dangers
Unmarked dangers constitute a great number of premises liability lawsuits, and can be some of the most dangerous problems on a property. Some of the most common unmarked dangers on property where an individual may become injured include:
- Standing water
- Uneven pavement
- Unrepaired stairways
- Absence of signs at intersections
- Sudden drop-offs
All of these property conditions are potentially dangerous for visitors to the property, and may be grounds for a premises liability lawsuit if a person sustains an injury on the property.
