If you were injured due to hazardous conditions on someone else’s property, you may be eligible for financial compensation. The Conroe premises liability lawyers at Hope & Causey, P.C. are highly skilled in securing beneficial outcomes for people hurt in preventable accidents on private and public properties in Texas. We’ll investigate your case to determine if negligence contributed to causing your injuries and if so, vigorously pursue damages for your losses. 

Causes of premises accidents

Injuries on properties can occur for varied reasons, such as the following: 

  • Slips & falls 
  • Swimming pool mishaps
  • Falls from heights 
  • Dog bites
  • Inadequate security incidents
  • Poor property maintenance
  • Falling objects
  • Exposure to toxic substances
  • Elevator and escalator accidents

Whether you were hurt in a slip and fall or another type of incident, you can trust our Conroe personal injury lawyers to thoroughly assess the evidence and to develop a strong claim. 

Common places where injuries occur around Conroe

These are some of the buildings and facilities where injuries frequently occur:

  • Grocery stores
  • Restaurants
  • Parking lots 
  • Sidewalks 
  • Public swimming pools
  • Private residences
  • Office buildings
  • Hotels and motels
  • Apartment buildings 

There are numerous ways that accidents resulting in premises liability cases can happen. A person could slip and fall at a grocery store or restaurant because of liquid spilled on the floor. Parking lots may have potholes, and sidewalks have cracks that cause trips and falls. Inadequate lighting over stairwells or broken handrails can lead to accidents. We will get to the bottom of what caused your accident and injuries. 

Proving negligence in a premises liability case

Property owners must keep their premises reasonably safe for legal visitors, which include invitees, such as store customers, and licensees, such as guests at private residences. If you are injured in an accident, you may hold the property owner or manager liable for damages. To establish liability, you need to prove these elements: 

  • The property owner owed you a duty of care (which means you were legally on the premises).
  • The property owner breached that duty.
  • You sustained injuries. 
  • Your injuries were caused by the breach.

You must also be able to show that your own carelessness was not a primary cause of the accident. Under Texas law, a victim who is 51 percent or more at fault cannot recover any compensation. If you were 50 percent or less at fault, your compensation will be adjusted proportionately.

Typical injuries that result from premises accidents

Injuries in these accidents can be severe and sometimes catastrophic. Common types of injuries include:

  • Broken bones
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Head and neck injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Soft tissue damage
  • Bruises and lacerations
  • Burns
  • Respiratory impairment
  • Near drowning injuries

Medical and rehabilitative care for serious injuries is expensive. There can also be mental trauma associated with these accidents. We will pursue maximum payment for your medical and therapy bills, pain and suffering and emotional distress.
