Our Houston Premises Liability Lawyers Know Your Rights
Property owners, renters, and their affiliates have a legal obligation to maintain their land and ensure that visitors are as safe as possible while on their property.
This means that owners and other parties need to respond to environmental hazards in a reasonable amount of time, provide adequate lighting and security, and address visitor concerns.
Property owners who can’t stay on top of their property maintenance, either intentionally or accidentally, violate the duty of care that they owe to everyone who sets foot on their land. Those owners and their renters, among other parties, may subsequently assume legal responsibility for any accidents caused by their negligence.
In other words, if you get into an avoidable accident due to a landowner’s negligence, you may have the right to demand damages based on your medical bills and other losses. Working with a Houston premises liability attorney allows you to explore your right to an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit while maximizing your premises liability settlement.
Who Can File a Premises Liability Claim in Houston?
There are specific circumstances that give you the right to pursue a premises liability claim against negligent property owners and their affiliates. You first need to bring forward enough evidence of the negligence in question to meet or exceed the state’s burden of proof. You then need to prove that you qualify for a landowner’s protection while on their property.
Only invitees and licensees qualify for legal protections while on someone else’s land. Invitees include guests and people explicitly invited onto a landowner’s property, like consumers. Licensees, comparatively, are people invited onto someone else’s property to work. The category of licensees can include contractors, electricians, plumbers, and other professionals.
Trespassers do not qualify for protection while on someone else’s property, barring specific circumstances. A trespasser who benefits from Texas’s attractive nuisance doctrine may have the right to pursue a claim against a negligent landowner if that landowner’s negligence put them in harm’s way. You can discuss the relevance of this doctrine in your case with an attorney.
We Advocate for Fair Damages on Your Behalf
Our legal team isn’t going to accept an insufficient settlement offer from a property owner, renter, or their affiliated insurance companies. We understand that it takes a lot of resources to recover from the slips, falls, thefts, and other accidents that can take place on under-maintained properties.
That’s why we make a point to individually investigate the losses you suffered as a result of a landowner’s negligence. A thorough investigation can bring forward the evidence necessary to help you fight for damages based on all of your economic and non-economic losses.
The losses we’ve included in clients’ premises liability claims have helped them address their:
- Emotional distress
- Reduced quality of life
- Pain and suffering
- Temporary or permanent disabilities
- Lost wages
- Lost benefits
- Property damage
- Emergency room expenses
- Accident-related medical care

We Work on Contingency for Your Convenience
Omega Law Group does not want to add to your financial stress in the wake of a premises liability accident. That’s why our Houston, TX, premises liability attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. Our contingency fee policies ensure that you can start working with our office without putting down a deposit or retainer.
You won’t have to worry about bills from our office while your case is in progress, either. We can pursue an investigation into your premises liability accident without asking for an hourly fee. Instead, we only get paid for the representation that we offer you once we win your case.
You can discuss the logistics of our contingency fee agreements during your free, no-obligation case evaluation with our staff. We take pride in our financial transparency and can explain our approach to contingency before you commit to moving forward with our representation.
We Stay on Top of Your Filing Deadlines
If you decide that you want to move forward with a premises liability claim through Texas’s civil system, you need to finalize and file your paperwork before the state’s statute of limitations, Tex. Civ. Pract. & Proc. Code § 16.003, expires. This statute allows you to take up to two years to build a case against a liable landowner.
You can’t miss your filing deadline if you want to preserve your right to legal action in the wake of an accident on someone else’s property. Texas’s civil courts are under no obligation to review a case filed after its statute of limitations expires.
Fortunately, working with an experienced attorney makes it easier to manage your investigative timeline and filing deadlines, even if you’re recovering from serious injuries. The sooner you get in touch with our legal team, the sooner you can move your claim forward.
