When someone gets hurt on your property, it can lead to a premises liability case to compensate for the loss or injury incurred. It doesn’t matter if it happens inside or outside of your home or building either. If someone was hurt on your property, you could be held liable for the losses and compensation of that person. This is a type of law that all home and business owners should be aware of. Lastimado TX is here to talk about some different circumstances that would be considered premises liability cases so that you have an idea of what these cases look like.
Slip & Fall
One that is probably the most common injury people incur on different types of properties is slip and fall accidents. If you were to slip and fall on someone else’s property, they could be found liable if the accident was caused by circumstances that the property owner should have been aware was a risk. If there is evidence that the property owner knew about the problem and didn’t take any action to try and fix the problem, then there is an issue.
Injuries Around a Swimming Pool
While a swimming pool can offer endless hours of entertainment for those that you love, it can also be dangerous. It is important that you take measures to ensure those on your property are kept safe from the pool. This might mean having a fence around the pool, or you could also put a cover on the pool that allows someone to walk across it without falling in. When these measures aren’t taken and then someone gets hurt in your pool, it can leave you responsible. You should also have the depth of the pool marked and other signage that will cover you in the case that someone gets hurt.
Falling Tree Accidents
The trees on your property can be as hazardous as they are beautiful. It is vital that homeowners care for and maintain their trees. There are several things that can make your tree a hazard including disease, damage, poor pruning and more. If a tree is starting to look like it is mostly dead, you want to make sure you have it removed before it causes an accident. If you were aware that your tree wasn’t in good condition or weren’t’ maintaining it properly so that you would know its condition and it fell on someone or their property, you are held liable and could be facing legal action.
