Kingwood Premises Liability Lawyer

In Kingwood, premises liability describes a broad area of law that covers injuries occurring on someone else’s property. A landowner can be held liable for any damages a person suffers when a property hazard causes an accident.

Premises liability law, however, is not simple and straightforward. Proving liability depends on several factors, including the circumstances of the accident and the legal relationship between the injured party and the property owner.

If you suffered an injury on someone else’s property, consider speaking to one of our Kingwood premises liability lawyers. Without an attorney, you may not get the full value of your damages in a settlement. Our dedicated personal injury attorneys can strengthen your case during settlement talks with the property owner’s insurance provider.

What are the Classifications of Visitors?

Property owners in Kingwood must ensure a certain degree of safety for their guests. State law classifies guests into three distinct groups: invitees, licensees, and trespassers.

Invitees

An invitee may enter to conduct business, purchase something, or simply be in the establishment as a member of the public. Examples of invitees may be shoppers, churchgoers, or tenants in an apartment complex. Business owners of establishments like shops, hotels, and restaurants owe the greatest degree of care to invitees.

Licensees

The second classification of visitors is licensees. A licensee may be on another person’s property with permission. Landowners have a duty to warn licensees of any hazardous conditions they are aware of and to remedy dangerous property conditions in a timely manner.

Trespassers

Trespassers are those who enter land without the owner’s permission or overstay an invitation. This group of visitors are least protected under the law.

Our attorneys can help determine whether a property owner owed you a duty of care and whether they breached that duty.

What Damages are Available in Kingwood Premises Liability Claims?

In a Kingwood premises liability case, you can seek compensation for any accident-related expenses, including medical bills incurred as a result of the injury. Medical expenses can include ambulance services, emergency room treatment, in- and out-patient procedures, and rehabilitative therapies. If your condition requires ongoing treatment, future costs are also recoverable in a settlement.

A claimant who is unable to return to work as a result of a property accident may seek lost income. You can pursue reimbursement for future lost wages if your condition requires you to be off work for some time or if your condition renders you with diminished earning capacity. The pain and suffering you experience is also compensable in a successful premises liability case.
