Holding Negligent Property Owners Accountable
Every year, thousands of people sustain injuries at homes and businesses throughout the state of Texas. Although accidents can happen for a variety of reasons, negligence often plays a critical role in accidents resulting in injuries. Even though property owners and managers are required to maintain premises that are safe for employees or guests, there are instances where they fail to address safety concerns in a timely and adequate manner. As a result, injuries ensue. If you have been injured, call The Low Law Firm at (325) 455-1889.
Premises liability cases are also commonly known as slip and fall accidents. These accidents occur when you are injured on another person's property. Property owners have a duty to keep their property reasonably safe from hazards. When a property owner fails to perform this duty and you are injured in a premises liability situation on their property, you need a premises liability attorney.
At Low Law Firm, we strive to help our clients get the justice they deserve after being forced to endure overwhelming pain and suffering as a result of another person's negligence. Once we are hired, we will visit the scene where the accident occurred to investigate the circumstances. Our team gathers pictures, videos, and other types of pertinent evidence to help strengthen legal claims and ensure our clients prevail in their case. We stop at nothing to help accident victims hold negligent property owners accountable for their inactions. Contact our premises liability attorneys in Abilene at your earliest convenience to see how we can assist you.
How We Build Your Case
How We Build Your Case
The Low Law Firm is experienced in these kinds of personal injury cases. A premises liability attorney will collect the facts about your case by investigating what happened and how the accident was caused.
We will investigate to find if the property owner failed to make their property safe. Was there a dangerous condition at that property? Did the property owner know of the dangerous condition, or should have known it existed? If they failed to remedy the dangerous issues, you may be entitled to compensation to help alleviate the economic and non-economic damages incurred due to your accident. At Low Law Firm, we provide a variety of services to ensure our clients' rights are protected and that they are able to move forward emotionally, mentally, and physically after being harmed. Some of the services we provide include:
Gathering Evidence
We go to the site of every accident to investigate. We take pictures of where the incident occurred, note the ground conditions, and collect all available surveillance footage. If there were witnesses, we record their testimony to strengthen your claim.
Work with Experts
We turn to financial experts to calculate lost wages and potential lost earnings based on age, job, education, and other factors — and to experts who can recreate the scene of an accident to show which factors most influenced your injuries.
Gather Documents
We go one step further to demonstrate the extent of your damages — gathering evidence of property damage and its value, medical bills and care plans, and other pertinent documents to demonstrate the true value of your case.
Help Clients Collect
We build strong cases to maximize your financial recovery, using solid evidence to negotiate full and fair settlements. If we cannot reach a settlement, we provide trusted and effective legal representation at trial.
A personal injury attorney will build a strong case based on the evidence at hand to prove to a judge or jury that the dangerous conditions existed, the owner or manager was aware of the condition, and they did not address or correct the condition which was the direct cause of the accident.
After Your Accident
What to Do After Your Accident
The time immediately after a premises liability accident can play a critical role in your ability to get the justice you deserve.
Document Everything
Take pictures of what happened and the conditions that caused it — liquid on a floor, a trip hazard in a parking lot, anything that led to your accident. Document as much as possible.
Don't Give a Statement
Don't give a statement to anyone — even the property owner — before you speak with a slip and fall attorney.
Seek Medical Care
Seek immediate medical care for your injuries. Your health comes first, and prompt treatment documents your injuries.
If there was liquid on a floor that caused you to slip, take pictures of the area — especially if there is no warning regarding the hazard. Was there a trip hazard in a parking lot that should have been repaired? Take pictures of that. Anything that led to your accident must be documented. All of these pieces will help strengthen your case later down the road.
A property owner is more than likely not going to pay for your medical treatment upfront. In fact, they may fight to dispute your claims and not pay for any costs at all. This is where an experienced premises liability attorney or a slip and fall lawyer is needed. A case must be built to prove the property owner failed at keeping you safe while on their property and that their negligence led to your accident.
Being able to prove negligence is essential to your ability to obtain justice and the maximum amount of compensation available. Working with a knowledgeable and aggressive personal injury attorney in Abilene will ensure you are able to move forward with your recovery.
