Premises liability holds property owners accountable for accidents or injuries that occur on their premises. Paxton Law Firm ensures victims of premises liability injuries receive the maximum possible compensation for injuries sustained due to negligence.
You Deserve Fair Compensation…
Regardless of Your Citizenship or Documentation
Premises liability refers to the legal responsibility of property owners to ensure their premises are safe for visitors. This includes maintaining safe conditions, repairing hazards promptly, and providing adequate warnings for potential dangers. In Texas, property owners owe a duty of care to both invitees and licensees, ensuring they are protected from foreseeable harm while on the premises. Common examples of premises liability cases include slip and fall accidents, inadequate security leading to assaults, and dangerous conditions causing injuries.
At Paxton Law Firm, we understand that accidents can happen to anyone, regardless of their citizenship status or documentation. We have found that many individuals without proper documentation avoid seeking help for their troubles because they fear legal repercussions like deportation. However, all individuals have the right to seek fair compensation for injuries caused by another party’s negligence, irrespective of their documentation status. Our team is dedicated to helping all individuals pursue justice and fair compensation for their injuries.
