Houston Premises Liability Attorneys

Why You Need a Premises Liability Lawyer

In the United States, a person who owns a property is legally obligated to maintain a safe environment for those who visit their premises. Failing to do so can result in a lawsuit if someone is hurt as a result of the dangerous conditions. Premises liability is a legal concept that holds the property owner responsible for any injury caused by a defective or unsafe condition. Once a visitor is invited into a particular location, be it a residential house or a commercial space, the law holds the owner accountable for any kind of injury a visitor may have as a result of unsafe conditions on the property, such as wet floors, unsafe stairways, or malfunctioning elevators.

If you have been injured by a dangerous condition on someone else’s property, Attorney Tom wants to hear your story. Our experienced Houston premises liability attorneys can help you hold the person who is responsible for your injuries accountable and  force them to improve the conditions on their property. Contact our lawyers for a free consultation at (713) 244-6363.

Backed by Years of Experience

Experienced premises liability attorneys have in-depth knowledge about the legal process and can assist you with everything from gathering evidence, dealing with claim adjusters, to representation in court. Our attorneys have the technical know-how to fight on your behalf and secure the most reasonable compensation for you.

Collecting Evidence

Lawyers who are in the industry for years know where to gather evidence and how to use it to your best advantage. What might seem like an unnecessary detail for a layman’s eyes could be a significant piece of evidence that will help you win a case.

Fair Compensation

Once you have a personal attorney working for you, you will be able to understand your rights and won’t be quick to jump in for any kind of settlement. Your attorney knows what compensation is fair for the emotional distress and physical trauma you went through.

If you have been injured or know someone who suffered an injury on someone else’s property due to perhaps a dog bite or a slip and fall accident, consulting with a lawyer who practices premises liability law can help you maximize the compensation you may receive. To schedule an appointment with Attorney Tom or a member of the team, contact us at (713) 244-6363.

How Attorney Tom Can Help

Following the incident, the property owner’s insurance company will contact you. A claims adjuster will recommend you settle the claim right on the spot and tell you that you will not need a lawyer to represent you. While it is tempting to accept the offer straight away, the insurance company’s initial offer is categorically going to be worth much less than what your actual damages are. The insurer is not in the business of paying out large sums of money, but instead their goal is to pay out as little as possible. This is why you must consider hiring a lawyer to help you. Hiring an attorney will not only provide you with invaluable information about your case, it can also maximize the damages you are awarded, while handling all of the complicated legal matters on your behalf. Here are some of the benefits Attorney Tom can offer:

Representation in Court

Even in small claim courts, unrepresented parties are often dismissed just by their failure to comply with certain filing requirements. Attorney Tom understands how litigation could be overwhelming. Our team can handle everything from filing the necessary paperwork, to gathering evidence, and speaking for you in court. Leave it to us.

Deciding when to Settle

Deciding to settle or continue a lawsuit seems like a vague question for those who do not have a premises liability lawyer working alongside them. With Attorney Tom on your side, you have someone with years of experience who will assist you in making this important decision.

Personal Consultation

Unlike other law firms that use convincing sales tactics, Attorney Tom will sit with you, one on one, to discuss your case. You may ask questions on areas you do not know about and we will answer them to the specifics of your individual case. Contact our firm at (713) 244-6363 to set up your free consultation.
