What Does a Premises Liability Attorney Do?
If you or a loved one were seriously injured on someone else’s property, the last thing you need is the stress of battling with property owners and insurance companies over fair compensation. Insurance companies often pressure victims to accept their initial – and lowest – settlement offer. This tactic is effective because people recovering from premises injuries frequently feel overwhelmed by the prospect of negotiating with insurance companies while medical bills and other expenses continue to accumulate. Even making statements to the insurance company without legal representation can potentially harm your case.
By hiring an experienced Texas premises liability lawyer, you have a dedicated advocate to handle the property owners and insurance companies for you. Our attorneys have been representing injured Texans for over 30 years. This experience gives us deep insight into insurance company tactics, what evidence is needed to build the strongest possible case, and how the Texas legal system works. We’ve handled countless premises liability cases and gone up against many of the same insurance companies.
The period after a premises liability injury should be focused on your recovery, not dealing with confusing legal and insurance matters.
In addition to keeping you informed throughout your case, premises liability attorneys:
- Collect and analyze critical evidence including incident reports, photos, surveillance footage, maintenance records, and witness statements
- Establish the property owner’s duty of care, breach of that duty, and liability under Texas premises liability laws
- Document the full scope of your damages, from medical costs to lost wages to pain and suffering
- Build a compelling case by consulting with medical experts and safety professionals
- Negotiate aggressively with insurance companies and defense attorneys for maximum compensation
- Take your case to trial when necessary to protect your rights
