What to Know About Premises Liability in Texas

Texas law looks at your visitor status. Owners owe the highest duty to invitees, a moderate duty to licensees, and a limited duty to trespassers, with certain rules for children around dangerous features.

To hold a property owner responsible, your claim needs proof of negligence. That usually means showing a dangerous condition, the owner knew or should have known about the condition, or the owner failed to fix or warn about the condition, and that failure caused your injuries.

Common cases involve slick floors, bad lighting, broken stairs, missing handrails, loose mats, dog bites, and pool hazards. We cover more examples below with additional detail.

Deadlines matter. Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, Section 16.003, generally gives two years from the injury date to file a premises liability lawsuit, and some claims have shorter notice rules, such as cases involving a city.

How Galvan Law Group Can Help With Your Premises Liability Claim

From day one, we focus on building evidence and taking pressure off your plate. Our firm handles the legwork while you focus on healing.

Investigating the Accident

We gather and preserve evidence before it disappears. That includes site inspections and letters to keep video and records from being erased.

During the investigation, we often secure items such as:

• Accident or incident reports from the business or property manager
• Witness statements and contact details
• Surveillance footage, photos, and maintenance logs
• Medical records that link your injuries to the hazard

With these materials, we work to show the property owner’s negligence and connect it to your losses.

Determining the Extent of Your Damages

Injuries change daily life, sometimes for a long time. We look at medical treatment, time off work, and the human impact that is harder to measure, like pain, sleep problems, and loss of activities.

When needed, we bring in treating doctors and financial professionals to calculate future care, lost wages, and long-term costs with clarity.

Negotiating with Insurance Companies

We handle all insurer communication to protect your claim. Insurers use tactics such as delaying a claim, recorded statements, and low settlement offers. We step in to defend you from these tactics and push for fair compensation.

Sabrina’s background at insurance defense firms gives our clients a real edge. She knows the playbook adjusters use, and she is ready to counter these tactics and obtain a fair settlement.

Filing a Lawsuit and Representing You in Court

If negotiations stall, we file suit and move your case toward trial. Lawsuits can sound stressful, so we make sure you have a strong case file to ensure the other side gets serious about fair resolution.

We keep you informed at each step and press for a fair result through motions, depositions, and, if needed, a jury verdict.

Common Types of Premises Liability Cases

Galvan Law Group handles a wide range of property injury cases across Dallas and the surrounding communities. Every case gets careful attention and a tailored strategy.

• Slip and Fall Accidents: wet floors, ice, spills, or uneven surfaces that cause a fall.
• Inadequate Security: injuries from assaults, robberies, or other crimes on poorly secured properties.
• Dog Bites and Animal Attacks: injuries from unrestrained or aggressive animals on private or public property.

This is not an exhaustive list of premises liability cases we handle. Reach out today to talk through your case and the options available to you.

Damages Recoverable in a Premises Liability Case

Compensation depends on the facts, the injuries, and the applicable insurance policy. We look at the full picture, not just the first hospital bill.

• Medical expenses, past and future, including therapy, imaging, surgery, and prescriptions.
• Lost wages and lost earning capacity, past and future.
• Pain and suffering from the physical harm and daily limitations.
• Emotional distress, anxiety, sleep loss, and similar harm.
• Other out-of-pocket costs, travel to care, home help, or medical devices.

Texas follows proportionate responsibility. If an insurer claims you were partly at fault, we push back with evidence that fits the facts, like timing of cleanups, lighting measurements, or shoe condition testing when helpful.
