Houston Premises Liability Lawyers Protecting Your Rights

We can fight for the money you deserve if you get hurt on someone else’s property

Public and private property owners have a responsibility to properly care for their property. Otherwise, people can get seriously injured. This is especially true at swimming pools, restaurants, and other public places. When property owners fail to take the necessary precautions and someone gets hurt, they should be held responsible for their actions.

That’s where we come in. Our Houston premises liability attorneys at Smith & Hassler can fight for your rights every step of the way. We know what to do because we’ve been doing this work for more than 30 years in Texas. Our job is making sure you get the maximum compensation for your premises liability accident.

What does premises liability mean?

Premises liability is a legal term used to describe a property owner’s responsibility to maintaining their property. When they fail to do so, it’s our job to prove they failed to protect the public’s best interests. Among the general standards in a premises liability case are determinations that show:

The party responsible for the property created the condition.
The condition was known but no steps were taken to correct it.
Enough time had gone by for the responsible party to become aware of the condition that it should have been corrected.

What makes premises liability cases in Texas so complicated?

You might think you don’t even need a lawyer if you or a family member got hurt on someone else’s property. All you do is tell the property owner or their insurance company and they’ll take care of everything, right? Don’t be so sure. Often, cases can become very complicated for many different reasons, including:

Property owner denies doing anything wrong
Hazard that caused injury not obvious
Property owner lies about property conditions
Property owner destroys evidence related to your case
Property owner’s insurance company denies your claim

Insurance companies often fight hard to deny premises liability claims. They know your case could be worth a lot of money. That’s why they’ll do everything to deny your case. That’s not right. That’s why we want to meet with you.

What should I do after my premises liability accident?

If you or a loved one has been injured in a premises liability accident on someone else’s property, we recommend taking the following steps to protect your rights.

Seek immediate medical attention. Your health matters most.
Don’t talk to the property owner. Anything you say could be used to deny your claim.
Don’t talk about your accident with other people. The less you say, the better.
Don’t post anything on social media about your accident. Insurance companies carefully read your posts and try to use this information against you.
