If you were injured on someone else’s property, you may be wondering whether the property owner can be held responsible. Premises liability law addresses injuries caused by unsafe, poorly maintained, or dangerous property conditions.
At Zen Law Firm, we represent clients in Plano and throughout Collin and Denton Counties who have been harmed due to unsafe premises. Our team helps individuals understand their legal options and take informed next steps after a serious injury.
What to Do After an Injury on Someone Else’s Property
Taking prompt action after an injury can help protect your rights. Medical care should always be a top priority, even if injuries do not appear severe at first. It’s also important to preserve information about what happened. Proper documentation can become critical if you decide to pursue a claim.
Helpful steps may include:
- Seeking medical attention promptly, even if your injuries seem minor at first, to ensure your condition is properly evaluated and documented
- Reporting the incident to the property owner or manager so there is an official record of what occurred
- Documenting the scene, if possible, including taking photos or noting hazardous conditions before they are corrected
- Avoiding detailed discussions with insurance representatives before speaking with an attorney, as early statements may affect how your claim is handled
Taking these steps can help protect both your health and your potential legal claim. If you have questions about your situation, a premises liability attorney can help you evaluate your options.

What Is a Premises Liability Case?
Premises liability refers to injuries that occur when a property owner or occupier fails to maintain reasonably safe conditions. Under Texas law, property owners have a duty to address known hazards and take appropriate steps to reduce the risk of harm to lawful visitors. When that duty is not met, and someone is injured as a result, a legal claim may arise. These cases can happen in a wide range of environments, including retail stores, apartment complexes, office buildings, construction sites, parking lots, and private residences.
Common examples of premises liability cases include:
- Slip and fall accidents
- Dog bite injuries
- Unsafe conditions in stores or apartment complexes
- Construction-related property hazards
- Negligent property maintenance
Slip and fall accidents are one of the most common types of premises liability claims, but they represent just one category within this broader area of law. A consultation can help determine whether your injury may fall under this legal framework. Determining whether a property owner owed you a duty of care, and whether that duty was breached, is a central part of evaluating a premises liability claim.
Why Premises Liability Cases Can Be Complex
Premises liability cases often involve more than simply showing that an injury occurred. It must typically be established that a dangerous condition existed, that the responsible party knew or should have known about it, and that reasonable steps were not taken to correct it or provide adequate warning. These details can significantly impact how a claim is evaluated.
In addition, property ownership and control are not always straightforward. Commercial properties may involve landlords, tenants, property management companies, or contractors, each with different responsibilities. Insurance policies, lease agreements, and maintenance contracts can all influence how liability is determined.
Key issues frequently include:
- Property ownership and control
- Lease and maintenance responsibilities
- Whether the hazard was known or should have been known
- Available insurance coverage
Carefully analyzing these factors is essential to building a well-supported claim. An attorney with experience in both injury litigation and property-related matters can provide meaningful insight into how these elements apply in your case.
What Compensation May Be Available?
An injury caused by unsafe property conditions can create medical bills, missed work, and ongoing physical and emotional challenges. Premises liability claims are designed to address losses directly connected to the injury and its impact on your life. The specific damages available will depend on the facts of your case.
Compensation may include:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Other injury-related damages
The value of a claim depends on several factors, including the severity of injuries, the extent of financial losses, and the circumstances surrounding the incident. Because every case is unique, a personalized legal evaluation is important to understand how these considerations may apply to your situation.
