Houston Premises Liability Lawyer
When Dangerous Properties Cause Injuries, We Step In
Every property owner in Texas—whether a business, landlord, or homeowner—has a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe for visitors. When they cut corners and someone gets hurt, Granados & Associates holds them accountable. From slippery supermarket floors to dog attacks in a neighbor’s yard, we know the hazards Houstonians face every day. If you’re injured on someone else’s property, our attorneys guide you through the process, push back on insurance denials, and work to secure the compensation you need.
Key Types of Premises Liability Cases We Handle
Slip & Fall Accidents
Wet floors, broken stairs, and poor lighting can turn everyday errands into trips to the ER. If you were hurt in a slip, trip, or fall, learn how we prove negligence and win compensation for clients.
Dog Bite Injuries
Houston’s dog laws require owners to control their pets—when they don’t, we pursue full damages for dog bite victims, including medical costs and emotional trauma.
Other Property Hazards
Unsafe walkways, falling merchandise, inadequate security, or poor maintenance can all create risks. We hold businesses and landlords responsible when preventable dangers cause harm.
What Counts as a Premises Liability Case in Texas?
Premises liability covers injuries caused by dangerous property conditions—like a spill left unattended, a broken handrail, or a dog not properly restrained. To win, you usually need to show the owner knew (or should have known) about the hazard and didn’t fix it. Texas law holds stores and businesses to a high duty of care for shoppers, requiring regular inspections and prompt repairs. Our firm investigates every angle, gathering maintenance records, security footage, and witness statements to build a strong case.
Your Premises Liability Questions, Answered
Can I sue a business for getting hurt on their property in Houston?
Yes—if you were injured due to a hazardous condition the owner should have fixed, you may have a claim. Stores, restaurants, and landlords all have duties under Texas law.
How do I prove the owner was negligent?
Evidence matters—photos of the hazard, incident reports, witness statements, and sometimes store maintenance logs or surveillance video. Our team knows how to uncover what the property owner knew and when.
What if the insurance company says it was my fault?
It’s common for insurers to blame the victim. We push back by showing how the danger was preventable and why the owner bears responsibility.
Do I need a lawyer for a slip and fall or dog bite?
Yes—these cases can be complex, and insurance companies often try to settle quickly for less than you deserve. A lawyer makes sure you get fair treatment.
Is there a deadline to file a premises liability claim in Texas?
Generally, you have two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. The sooner you call, the more evidence we can secure.
