Frequently Asked Questions About Premises Liability Claims

  • How long do I have to file a premises liability claim in Texas?

    Texas law allows two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. However, waiting too long can make it harder to gather evidence and prove negligence.

  • What if I was partially at fault for my slip and fall accident?

     Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover damages as long as you were less than 51 percent at fault. However, your total compensation may be reduced based on your level of fault.

  • Do I have a case if there was no warning sign?

     Property owners are required to warn visitors of known hazards. If there was no warning sign and the hazard caused your injury, you may have a strong case for compensation.

  • Can I sue a business or property owner if I was injured on their property?

     Yes, if the property owner failed to maintain safe conditions or neglected to fix a known hazard, they may be held liable for your injuries.
