Property Owner Or Occupier Liability

The term "premises liability" refers to the liability of certain persons for injuries and damages to others arising from the ownership or possession of real property. Under Texas law, there must be some form of negligence for the property owner or occupier of the property to be liable for injuries sustained on the property. Simply owning or occupying land does not make the owner or occupier liable.

Property Owner & Occupier Responsibilities & Liability

To understand what duty is owed by an owner or occupier of land to those lawfully present on land, it is necessary to understand the difference between the landlord or owner of the property and the occupier or tenant of the property and their relative liability.

Injuries on the Premises

Some common types of injuries in premises liability lawsuits include slip & fall or trip & fall accidents, dog bites, repair men falling off a ladder, construction accidents, swimming pool drowning incidents, diving board accidents, and injuries from exposure to hazardous material, fires, inadequate security and inadequate lighting in common areas. Such often injuries occur due to the negligence of the property owner.

When someone is injured on the premises, the question of Homeowners or Property Insurance which covers the premises is one of the main aspects of a legal proceeding when it comes to a premises liability lawsuit. An attorney may be required to make painstaking efforts to locate and pursue insurance coverage that will provide adequate compensation for the plaintiffs injuries and damages.
