Park Cities Personal Injury Attorney for Property Owner Negligence

Everyone expects a certain level of safety as they go about their daily lives. While people will usually take steps to protect their own safety by avoiding dangerous activities and being aware of potential risks, they also rely on others to protect them from harm whenever possible. When visiting property owned by someone else, a person will expect that the property owner has taken all reasonable measures to prevent injuries by addressing potential hazards. Unfortunately, some property owners fail to do so, and visitors may suffer serious harm because of their negligence. In these cases, personal injury victims may be able to take legal action to recover financial compensation from a negligent property owner.

Premises liability cases can be complicated, and to ensure that they will be fully compensated, victims will need to work with an attorney who can help them demonstrate that a negligent property owner was responsible for their injuries. At Clark Law Group, we understand the complex factors that can affect these cases. We are dedicated to protecting the rights of our clients and helping them obtain the financial resources that will ensure that they can recover from their injuries and move on with their lives.

Legal Help With Injuries on Other People's Property

Property owners have a responsibility to take appropriate measures to protect the safety of people who are authorized to enter and use their property. Any hazards that a property owner is aware of or should know about must be addressed, either by repairing or correcting any safety issues or by providing warnings or notices to ensure that visitors are aware of these hazards and can take the proper actions to avoid being injured. Owners of private residences or public establishments such as stores or restaurants may be held liable for injuries that occur because of issues such as:

• Slip, trip, and fall accidents - There are many different types of issues that may cause customers or visitors to fall and suffer serious injuries. These may include wet or slippery floors, torn carpets, obstacles in walkways, cracked sidewalks, potholes in parking lots, damaged stairs or stairwells, or damaged or defective railings on an elevated walkway. A fall can lead to multiple types of injuries, including broken bones, sprained or dislocated joints, traumatic brain injuries, or whiplash or other spinal cord injuries.
• Dog bites - A dog may attack a person who is visiting its owner's property, or dog bites may occur in other locations, such as public parks. These incidents can result in a variety of injuries, including puncture wounds, broken or crushed bones, nerve damage, fall injuries, and scarring and disfigurement. In Texas, a victim can recover compensation for a dog bite if they can show that the dog's owner knew that the dog had bitten someone in the past or displayed aggressive or dangerous tendencies.
• Negligent security - Property owners may be liable for injuries that occur due to their failure to provide proper security measures. For example, inadequate lighting in a parking garage may increase the likelihood that a person will be injured in an assault or robbery.
