Premises Accidents

Property owners have certain obligations under local, state, and federal laws to maintain reasonably safe premises under certain conditions and to warn others of any unsafe conditions. While these laws vary, the basic underlying fact of them is similar regardless of where you live: Texas property owners have an obligation to keep their land and buildings on their land safe for authorized visitors and those with business there.

Premise liability cases come into play when an injury occurs because of risky, dangerous, or faulty conditions. Contact us today if you need an Austin premises liability lawyer.

Wrongful Death Claims

Any attorney eligible to practice law in Texas can file a wrongful death lawsuit, but you might need someone with expertise and years of experience handling these types of cases.

An insurance company might offer your family a settlement, but remember: they work to protect their bottom line by settling cases for the lowest sums possible. Calculating a fair settlement in a wrongful death case is complicated. An Austin wrongful death lawyer can determine an appropriate compensation level for your situation.

Traumatic Brain Injuries

Personal injury accidents often cause head injuries, including traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Suffering a TBI can irreparably damage your physical and mental health and your financial well-being. If your TBI was the result of an accident caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be eligible to recover financial compensation. Contact an Austin brain injury lawyer today.

Animal Attacks

Texas law holds dog owners responsible for the pain, suffering, and medical bills following biting incidents. However, Texas law also shields a dog owner from liability until he has a certain degree of knowledge that his dog is dangerous or vicious. This is a double-edged sword because if the owner has knowledge that a dog is dangerous, they can be held strictly liable. An animal attack lawyer can guide you through the Texas legal system if you were hurt.

Boating Accidents

Who doesn’t love a day out on Lake Travis? But boating accidents occur, and they can have serious injuries or fatal consequences, resulting in wrongful death.
