An Arlington premises liability lawyer holds property owners and managers accountable when a hazardous condition — like a wet floor, uneven walkway, or inadequate security — causes an injury on their property. Jim Ross Law Group investigates the hazard, proves the property owner’s negligence, and negotiates with insurance companies to recover the compensation you’re owed.
At Jim Ross Law Group, our Arlington premises liability lawyers defend your right to financial compensation if you are injured on either private or public property. Premises liability describes cases where the negligence of a property owner or manager leads to an injury — often called “slip-and-fall” accidents, though the category covers much more.
What counts as premises liability
Whether you have slipped on a wet surface, tripped on an uneven walkway, or fallen from heights because of a missing guardrail, we’re ready to review your case. Our premises liability lawyers in Arlington TX handle cases where injuries were sustained at places such as:
- Amusement parks
- Cruise ships
- Schools
- Daycares
- Retail environments
- Sports stadiums
- Hotels and resorts
These accidents can stem from forms of negligence including:
- Inadequate maintenance
- Failure to inspect the premises
- Negligent security
- Slippery floors and slick surfaces
Proving the property owner was at fault
We investigate whether the property owner knew, or reasonably should have known, about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn visitors. This can involve maintenance records, prior complaints, security footage, and witness statements showing how long the hazard existed. In cases involving foreseeable criminal activity, property owners can also be held responsible for failing to provide reasonable security, such as adequate lighting, locks, or security staff.
