Travis County Slip-and-Fall Injury Lawyer
Individuals visit a home or place of business with the expectation that the owner or manager has taken the necessary steps to ensure their safety. Unfortunately, these steps are not always taken and accidents happen. If you were hurt while visiting a store, you should contact an Austin premises liability lawyer.
The legal theory of premises liability holds owners and operators liable for accidents that happened on their property under many circumstances. At the Law Offices of William Schmidt, we understand the challenges that injured individuals face in pursuing a personal injury case based on premises liability.
Recent Changes to the Law Add Challenges to Your Case
In recent years, Texas law has changed to place a tougher burden on individuals in these types of cases. The notion is that just because you were injured on someone's property, does not mean that someone has to pay. Our firm can help client address the increasingly difficult burden individuals have to recover monetary damages in a case.
Premises liability cases can be caused by many situations, including:
- Slip-and-fall accidents
- Defective stairs
- Faulty handrails
- Falling objects
- Poorly lit corners and stairs
- Uneven pavement
If your accident occurred in a store or other public place, our firm will work quickly to determine two very important aspects of your injury:
- Proof that the management staff knew the dangerous conditions existed
- Proof that they did not fix the problem even after they knew there was a problem
In premises liability cases, it is important to retain an attorney who has a thorough knowledge of the law in this area. Clients appreciate our expertise in personal injury and trust us to educate them on the challenges they might fact throughout their lawsuit.
