These cases can be complicated, making it essential to get the right attorney to help you build a strong case. When you’ve been hurt on a property because of dangerous and defective property conditions, you need to talk with a Waco attorney about premises owner liability. Our personal injury law firm works with experts to show how negligence created your injuries.
Premises liability law usually requires that property owners maintain an obligation to keep their premises safe for those who are legally on their property. Under the law, a landlord or property owner generally has a duty to all those lawfully on their premises to use ordinary care and diligence to keep the property in a reasonably safe condition. This includes safeguarding against dangerous conditions or defects in the property, in such areas as hallways, foyers, stairs, and entrances, for example.
Failure to maintain this duty could result in a civil lawsuit resulting in monetary damages. Damages can include medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, out-of-pocket expenses, special damages such as physician’s services, loss of consortium claims, and more.
