Premises Liability Lawyer in Houston

Have you been injured on the land of another? If so, then it is important to realize that the owner could be held responsible for the injuries that you have sustained. Property owners have a responsibility to those who visit on their land to ensure that they are maintaining the land in a way that promotes the safety and well-being of all visitors. Beyond that, they have a responsibility to ensure that the land is designed in a safe manner. For example, should the layout leave you with limited visibility that you leaves you defenseless in the wake of a violent crime, they could be partially liable.

Elements of a Houston, TX Premises Liability Claim

At Arnold & Itkin, LLP, we know the complexities of premises liability cases and know how difficult they can be to successfully litigate. We, however, also realize that they can be profoundly important to the victim. For this reason, we remain unwaveringly committed to ensuring that our clients have the best chance of success should they look to file a claim to hold responsible parties liable. To give you a brief understanding of the way that these cases work, please review the following elements of a premises liability case. To ensure a successful outcome, these following elements must be proven:

• The defendant is indeed in possession of the premises. This is more than just proving that the defendant owns the land. In some cases, ownership is not even required. All that must be proven is that they are in control of the premises. For example, someone renting an apartment could be held liable for the state of the apartment.
• The plaintiff was allowed to be on the premises. There is no claim if the plaintiff did not have the lawful right to be on the property. It must be proven that the plaintiff had clear right either by being invited or by being licensed. A trespasser doesn't have rights to file a claim.
• The defendant failed their duty to safely maintain the premises. The final element is often considered to be the most important. This is often the crux of the case - it must be proven that the defendant had a duty to maintain the property to promote safety and they failed to do so.
