Serious Injuries Caused By Dangerous Property


Have you ever been walking along, minding your own business, when a hole in the sidewalk or parking lot has caused you to trip and fall? Have you been walking at night or in areas of poor visibility and stumbled over a curb or another poorly-lit obstacle? You need to contact a Dallas-Fort Worth personal injury lawyer at 800-354-6275.


What is a Dangerous Property Accident?
Dangerous property accidents can take many forms. You could slip and fall on a dangerous property, collide with an obstacle or be otherwise injured through circumstances totally outside of your control. Here are a few examples of the types of dangerous property accidents that can occur in the Dallas and Fort Worth area:
  • Being struck by falling objects, such as construction debris;
  • Falling on a recently mopped area with no warnings;
  • Tripping, stumbling or twisting your foot or ankle in breaks in flooring and pavement;
  • Falling due to a weak or missing stair rail;
  • Being injured due to lighting that’s too weak or missing;
  • Having an accident due to failure to alert people to potential dangers or hazards.
Dangerous Properties Can Be Anywhere
You might take extra care when walking by a construction site or walking through an unfamiliar area in the dark because these areas can contain potential hazards. However, anything can constitute a dangerous property. You might be injured in a retail store, a parking lot, an office building or any number of innocuous locations. The key to determining whether you’re eligible to pursue a dangerous property claim is to establish whether or not the property owner was negligent in the way that he or she maintained the property.

A dangerous property accident can happen anywhere. Dangerous property accidents don’t only happen in strange places; some of the most dangerous accidents can happen when you’re in familiar surroundings, least expecting an issue.

Dangerous Property = Premises Liability

One phrase you’ll hear a lot when discussing a dangerous property accident is premises liability. It is the responsibility of the premises owner to take reasonable care to ensure the safety of people on the premises. If the owner’s negligence causes an injury, you may be entitled to a financial recovery for your medical bills or lost wages. Consult an experienced premises liability attorney to discuss your rights and determine whether or not you’re eligible to file a claim.

One of the most common questions a new client has is “What is my case worth?”

The truth is that it is extremely difficult to estimate any injury claim's value until the injured party has ended medical treatment and is either well or as well as he or she is going to get. Only then can you truly put a figure on the damages that should be sought.


There is nothing worse than settling a claim too soon because once you settle, it's final. If your conditions worsen after prematurely accepting a settlement then you have no choice but to pay any additional medical bills yourself. Once your case settles, you cannot force the insurance company to also pay for your medical care in the future.
