Premises Liability Attorneys in Texas

Negligence on a property should never become your burden.

When property owners ignore dangerous conditions or cut corners on safety, people get hurt. The aftermath can be painful, expensive, and deeply frustrating, especially when no one wants to take responsibility.

At Potts Law Firm, our premises liability attorneys represent people injured on unsafe properties across Texas and beyond. We investigate what went wrong, identify who had a duty to act, and fight to hold negligent property owners accountable for the harm they caused.

Premises Liability Cases Are Rarely Simple

Premises liability cases often look simple on the surface, but they quickly become contested. Property owners and insurers move fast to protect themselves, not you.

Property Owners Rarely Admit Fault

Businesses and landlords often claim an injury was “unavoidable” or blame the victim. Our premises liability lawyers examine maintenance records, surveillance footage, and safety policies to show where responsibility truly lies.

Evidence Can Disappear Quickly

Hazardous conditions are often repaired immediately after an injury. Experienced attorneys act fast to preserve photos, reports, and witness statements before critical proof is lost.

Insurance Companies Control the Narrative

Insurers downplay injuries and pressure victims into quick settlements. You need an attorney who protects your claim and pushes back against tactics meant to limit compensation.

Serious Injuries Carry Long-Term Costs

Slip and falls, falling objects, and structural failures can cause lasting harm. At Potts Law Firm, we document the full impact of your injuries, not just the immediate medical bills.

Common Premises Liability Claims We Handle

Slip and Fall Accidents

Wet floors, uneven walkways, poor lighting, and ignored spills cause thousands of injuries each year. These cases often hinge on whether the danger was known (or should have been).

Negligent Security Incidents

Property owners may be responsible when inadequate lighting, broken locks, or a lack of security leads to assaults or violent incidents.

Falling Objects and Structural Hazards

Loose shelving, collapsing ceilings, faulty stairs, and unstable railings can cause severe injuries when properties aren’t properly maintained.

Swimming Pool and Recreational Area Injuries

Unsecured pools, missing warnings, and unsafe conditions put both adults and children at risk, especially in residential and commercial properties.

FAQs About Premise Liability Claims

How long do I have to file a premises liability lawsuit?

In most cases, premises liability lawsuits are subject to strict filing deadlines that vary by state. In Texas, injured parties generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a claim, though exceptions may apply.

Talk to a premises liability attorney early to preserve evidence and protect your right to pursue compensation.

What damages can I recover in a premises liability case?

Compensation in a premises liability case may include medical expenses, lost income, reduced earning capacity, and costs tied to ongoing treatment or rehabilitation. In some cases, damages may also reflect the physical and personal impact of the injury. A premises liability lawyer evaluates the full scope of losses before pursuing recovery.

What if the property owner says the accident was my fault?

Property owners and insurers often argue that an injured person caused their own accident. This does not automatically bar a claim. The best premises liability lawyers review evidence, maintenance records, and site conditions to determine how responsibility should be assigned under the law.

Do I need a premises liability lawyer, or can I handle this myself?

While it’s possible to file a claim on your own, premises liability cases are frequently challenged by insurers and defense teams. A premises liability attorney handles investigations, negotiations, and legal filings while protecting your interests, allowing you to focus on recovery.
