Injured Because of Someone Else’s Carelessness?
We help you get justice when someone fails to keep you safe.
What Is General Negligence or Premises Liability?
General negligence means someone didn’t act responsibly and caused harm to another person. Premises liability is a type of negligence that happens when someone gets hurt on another person’s property — like slipping in a store or falling due to poor lighting or broken stairs.
These injuries can happen anywhere:
- Grocery stores or restaurants
Apartment complexes
Sidewalks or parking lots
Private homes
Work sites or rental properties
The property owner or business is supposed to keep the place safe. If they didn’t, and you got hurt, you may have a legal case.
Common Questions About Negligence & Premises Liability
What are negligence cases?
If you’ve been hurt on someone else’s property because of someone else’s negligence, you may have a negligence case. It could be that someone acted carelessly or a company didn’t follow safety rules and you were injured. Contact Gulf Coast Law today to find out how we can help.
What are examples of premises liability cases?
These can include slips and falls, falling objects, broken stairs, wet floors without warning signs, poor lighting, dog bites, and other accidents caused by unsafe property conditions.
Do I need to prove the property owner knew it was dangerous?
In many cases, yes. You’ll need to show that the owner or business knew or should have known about the danger and didn’t fix it in time. We help gather this proof.
What if I slipped and fell but didn’t go to the hospital right away?
You can still have a case. It’s important to get medical treatment as soon as you can, but we’ve helped clients win even if there was a delay in care. Don’t assume you have no case — let us check for free.
What kind of compensation can I receive?
You may be able to recover money for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and even future treatment if the injury caused long-term problems.
How long do I have to file a negligence claim in Texas?
You usually have 2 years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. But the sooner you contact us, the better — especially if there’s video footage or witnesses.
What if the accident happened at a business and they’re blaming me?
Don’t give up. Businesses often try to blame the victim. We know how to fight back with photos, witness statements, and expert reviews that show what really happened.
