If a business’s negligent actions in any of these areas result in a consumer being seriously injured, the company can be held financially responsible for damages. Product liability cases can be complex, often involving technical details and expert testimony.

Madsen Law Office advocating for victims in premise liability cases
Premises liability cases in Texas are grounded in negligence law, where property and business owners are legally obligated to maintain a reasonably safe environment for visitors.
Texas law classifies visitors into three groups based on the level of legal protection they receive:
- Invitees, such as customers or patients, are owed the highest duty of care, which includes maintaining safety and providing warnings about hazards.
- Licensees, like social guests or salespeople, receive a moderate duty of care, requiring warnings about known dangers.
- Trespassers, including unauthorized individuals, receive the lowest level of care, necessitating avoidance of intentional harm once their presence is known.
These classifications are crucial in determining premises liability, influenced by specific case circumstances. Establishing liability involves demonstrating three key factors: the property owner’s knowledge or reasonable awareness of a hazardous condition, failure to address the issue or adequately warn visitors, and proving that this negligence directly caused the injury.
Examples of Premises Liability Cases:
- Slip-and-fall accidents caused by wet floors
- Trip-and-fall accidents caused by broken/cracked walking surfaces
- Accidents caused by poor lighting in stairwells or lack of handrails
- Elevator malfunctions that cause injury
- Head trauma caused by a falling object (like a heavy item on a high shelf)
- Dog bites
