Can I File a Lawsuit if My Accident Happened on Private Property in Texas?
In the attached video, Luke Dow explains how you can file a lawsuit if your accident happened on private property in Texas. While accidents on private property are treated differently than those on public roads, the law still allows victims to pursue justice through a premises liability claim.
Under Texas law, premises liability covers injuries that occur on someone’s property due to unsafe conditions. To have a valid claim, you must prove that there was an unreasonable danger on the property that the landowner either knew about or should have known about. This is a different standard than in car accident cases, so understanding how premises liability works is crucial.
A key factor in these cases is your relationship to the property. If you were a trespasser, it’s almost impossible to recover damages. However, if you were on the property for mutual benefit, such as a customer or guest, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
The evidence required in a premises liability case is vital for success. You’ll need to demonstrate the unsafe condition that caused your injury and that the landowner was aware, or should have been aware, of it. Gathering this evidence quickly after the accident is essential to building a strong case.
