What to Do if You Are Injured on Someone Else’s Property in Texas

Carrollton Premises Liability Lawyer
Written By Carrollton Injury Lawyer Joel Hudson

In Texas, Premises Liability Law states that a property owner must make sure their property is reasonably safe for licensees and invitees. What does that mean?

Three Types of Visitors

A licensee is a guest who is on the property for their own benefit – this could be a friend or a salesperson.

An invitee is a person who is on the property for their own benefit and the property owner’s benefit – think like a person going into a restaurant to eat. They are there for their benefit (to eat) and the property owner’s benefit (to sell food).

The third type of visitor is a trespasser, someone who enters the property without the owner’s knowledge.

Premises Liability in Texas

Premises liability law in Texas states that you must make sure your property is reasonably safe for licensees and invitees. If you are invited into someone’s home and you trip over a loose cable and hurt yourself, you could have a personal injury claim.
