well premises liability is a general
00:07
term
00:07
that covers all types of situations
00:10
where somebody is hurt on another
00:12
person’s property and it could be
00:14
because
00:14
of a dangerous condition there a hole in
00:18
the floor or something that’s slippery
00:20
on the on the floor that causes a fall
00:23
but it can also involve a dangerous
00:26
activity that’s
00:28
happening somewhere that causes somebody
00:30
an injury
00:31
premises liability cases in texas are
00:34
are such that you have to
00:36
not only prove there was a dangerous
00:38
condition but you also have to prove
00:40
that the property owner or management
00:44
knew about that dangerous condition in
00:46
advance and had an opportunity to
00:48
to fix it to remedy it but failed to
00:52
and that’s one of the challenges is
00:53
proving what somebody else
00:56
knew before something bad happened
00:59
so in bringing a premises liability
01:02
claim
01:03
again it’s very important to get the
01:06
investigation done
01:08
as early as possible to document
01:12
whatever the bad conditions were that
01:15
caused the injury
01:16
and have all the witnesses and evidence
01:19
to support or prove what happened
01:22
and why the defendants are liable in
01:25
that situation
