Premises Liability Lawyer in Sugar Land

Serving Clients in Throughout Texas

Under Texas law, an owner, lessee, or occupant of the property may be liable if someone is injured. A landowner’s duty of care depends on the relationship between the property owner and the injured person.

A claim for damages under premises liability requires intricate knowledge of property law, negligence standards, and personal injury. Without zealous legal representation, it will be difficult for you to get the maximum compensation allowed by law.

If you were injured on someone else’s property, you might be entitled to recovery. Do not wait until it is too late. Contact the Karam Law Office for a free consultation. Get the passionate, committed attention that your case deserves.

Limitations on Landowners’ Liability

Chapter 75 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code limits a landowner’s liability for injuries that occur on their property under certain circumstances. For example, “an owner, lessee or occupant of agricultural land (1) does not owe a duty of care to a trespasser on the land; and (2) is not liable for any injury to a trespasser on the land, except for willful or wanton acts or gross negligence by the owner lessee or other occupant of agricultural land.”

Understanding landowners’ liability is essential to recovering the maximum compensation available in your case. If you were injured on someone else’s property, you need to consult an attorney as soon as possible. The sooner you call, the sooner you can get recovery for your damages.

Determining Liability in a Premises Liability Case

Premises liability is a nuanced area of the law. Generally, premises liability is determined by the duty owed by a property owner to the injured person, and most often, it is based on negligence. However, determining if a landowner should be held liable for injuries on their property will likely depend on the legal status of the injured person. Texas has established three legal status with differing levels of duty owed by the landlord.

Invitee

An invitee is “one who enters the property of another with the owner’s knowledge for the mutual benefit of both.” Employees, business patrons, meter readers, and tenants are considered invitees.

Licensee

Under Texas law, a licensee is “a person who enters the land with permission for his or her own benefit.” Examples of a licensee, as discussed by Texas A&M AgriLife, include social guests and salespeople.

Trespasser

A trespasser is “a person who enters the land of another without any legal right, express or implied.”

  Mr.Karam took care of me from the second we hung up on our first phone call. They provided me with the best medical care and the result of our case was amazing. He did not have to take my case but he chose to and the outcome was amazing. I’m still in shock considering what my case was, but would recommend their Firm 10,000 times again. Thank you so much to Jacob Karam and his office!

  When I first got in my car accident, I initially didn’t even consider a lawyer, but due to a referral I am so glad I did. I suffered significant injuries requiring surgery. Originally the hospital just slapped a sling on my broken clavicle and told me not to move it for 3 weeks while we wait for surgery. Jacob was able to get me into have surgery 4 days later. He handled everything. From my surgery to my PT. I never saw a single bill. His staff was friendly, professional and made it a point to check up on me. At a time where my life was turned upside down, it was nice to know someone else was in my corner, and my only job was to heal. 6 months later I am still healing but my case has already been settled and I got waaaayyyy more than I ever thought back in my pocket. It’s clear that Jacob and his team truly does care about the recovery and results of their clients and not just about collecting their fee. I am glad I went with Jacob and would recommend him to anyone. Calling his team was the best decision I could have made.
