Premises Liability and Knowing Your Rights

Accidents and personal injuries can occur anywhere, from private homes to city-owned properties. Premises liability refers to the basic responsibility of property owners to keep their sites safe. Consider a situation where a property owner fails to repair a large crack in the driveway. This could lead to a trip-and-fall accident and perhaps serious injuries. Our  premise liability lawyers in Austin at Batrice Law Firm can help determine if you can receive compensation.

Pursuing Compensation for Your Accident

Financial compensation may depend on a few factors, including the type of visitor. An invitee is someone who is on the property for a business purpose, while a licensee applies to everyone else, including social visitors. Proof of liability is also an important factor, which generally includes the following conditions: 

• Unreasonable risk – This could refer to a risk that could have been avoided by adequate maintenance or security.
• Owner knowledge of risk – The property owner was aware of the risk before the accident occurred.
• Negligence – The owner didn’t take reasonable action to reduce or fix the issue that caused the accident.
• Result in injury – The victim was injured in an accident because of the previously stated conditions.
