Proving Liability For a Premises Accident Claim in Texas
Under the fault-based injury law in Texas, an injury victim has the right to seek compensation from the party who caused their injury. A successful premises liability claim in Cedar Park requires evidence of the following:
- That the property owner knew or should reasonably have known about the hazardous condition
- They owed a duty of care to the injury victim because they were legally on the property and not trespassing or committing a crime
- They breached their duty of care through negligence
- The breach of duty directly caused an injury
- The injury victim suffered damages from the injury
A premises liability lawyer from Dow Law Firm conducts an independent investigation into all aspects of the injury to prove the at-fault party’s liability and then carefully calculates your damages to recover the full and fair compensation you deserve for your losses.
What Are the Recoverable Damages in a Texas Premises Liability Case?
When an injury is painful, temporarily or permanently disabling, and requires expensive medical treatment, these are the economic damages in your claim. A successful claim recovers common damages such as:
- Past and future medical expenses related to the injury
- Out-of-pocket injury costs
- Past and future income loss or diminished future earning ability
- Compensation for pain and suffering
- Compensation for catastrophic injuries, such as loss of limb, disfigurement, disability, loss of vision, hearing damage, permanent scarring, or diminished quality of life
Compensation in Cedar Park premises liability claims typically comes from the negligent property owner’s insurance; however, insurers often undermine claims or assign fault to injury victims.
