Dallas Premises Liability Lawyers

Holding Property Owners Accountable in Texas

You may have a premises liability claim when injured on someone else’s property, whether a retail store, restaurant, apartment complex, or public space. These cases arise when a property owner or manager fails to keep their property reasonably safe, and their negligence leads to an injury case known as premises liability.

Premises liability cases cover a wide range of accidents, but they all have one thing in common: a property owner’s negligence caused someone to get hurt.

In Dallas, property owners are legally obligated to maintain safe premises for visitors. When they fail to meet this duty, and you are injured, Duke Seth PLLC can help you pursue a claim. Our team understands the serious physical, financial, and emotional toll these incidents can cause, and we work to hold negligent parties accountable.

How We Can Help You After a Premises Liability Injury

The aftermath of an injury can be overwhelming; you should not navigate it alone. Duke Seth PLLC can take on the complex legal work so you can focus on healing.

We take the following steps:

Thorough investigation. We work to uncover the critical details; this includes collecting evidence like photos and videos of the scene, interviewing witnesses, securing maintenance records, and consulting with experts to establish how the dangerous condition caused your injury.
Determining liability. These claims hinge on the injured person's legal status on the property (invitee, licensee, or trespasser). We determine the duty of care the property owner owed you and work to prove they breached that duty.
Aggressive advocacy. We handle all communication with the at-fault party's insurance company and legal team. We aim to secure a fair settlement but can take your case to court if the insurance company fails to negotiate in good faith.

Why Premises Liability Cases Are Complex

Premises liability cases are often more challenging than they appear. The primary reason for this complexity is the burden of proof on the injured party. You must prove that the property owner either knew or should have known about the dangerous condition that caused your injury and failed to fix it or provide an adequate warning. Proving this "actual or constructive knowledge" can be difficult without a skilled legal team to uncover the necessary evidence.

The other side’s legal team and insurance company often argue that the dangerous condition was "open and obvious," or that your negligence contributed to the accident. This further underscores the need for experienced legal representation.

Premises Liability Cases We Handle

Premises liability law covers a wide range of accidents. We handle cases involving:

Slip-and-fall accidents. Wet floors, uneven pavement, hidden spills, and broken stairs are common causes.
Negligent security. Injuries from assault or robbery occurring in locations with a history of crime and a lack of adequate security measures.
Dog bites. Injuries caused by a property owner's dangerous or unrestrained animal.
Fires and explosions. Accidents resulting from faulty wiring, a lack of smoke detectors, or other safety violations.
Swimming pool accidents. Often involving children, these can be caused by a lack of proper fencing, supervision, or safety equipment.
Falling objects. Merchandise falling from shelves in a store, or debris from a construction site.

The injuries from these accidents can range from broken bones and sprains to severe burns, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and even wrongful death.
