Understanding Dallas Premises Liability Law
Texas premises liability law holds property owners and managers accountable when visitors are injured due to dangerous conditions on their property. However, liability isn’t automatic – not every accident leads to a valid claim. That’s why it’s crucial to work with an experienced Dallas premises liability lawyer who understands the complexities of Texas law and local court procedures.
What Qualifies as “Premises” in Dallas
“Premises” includes all parts of a property, from land and buildings to parking lots, stairways, and other structures. You may have a valid claim if your injury happened on:
-
Private Property: Homes, apartments, or residential pools in neighborhoods like Highland Park or Lakewood
-
Commercial Property: Grocery stores, shopping malls (e.g., NorthPark Center, Galleria Dallas), restaurants, or office buildings
-
Public Property: Dallas city parks, public sidewalks, DART stations, or municipal buildings
If your claim involves a government property or city-owned facility, deadlines for filing notice are much shorter – it’s important to act quickly.
Visitor Status and Legal Duty in Dallas
Texas law categorizes visitors as invitees, licensees, or trespassers, and the property owner’s duty of care differs for each:
-
Invitee: Someone invited for business purposes, such as a shopper, restaurant customer, or hotel guest. Owners must inspect the property and correct or warn about hazards.
-
Licensee: A social guest or visitor with permission to be there for non-commercial reasons. Owners must warn of known dangers.
-
Trespasser: Someone without permission to be on the property. Owners must avoid intentional harm or gross negligence.
Common Dallas Premises Liability Cases We Handle
Our Dallas premises liability lawyers handle a wide range of property-related injury cases, including:
Wet floors at grocery stores, spills in restaurants, poor lighting in parking garages, or broken stairs at apartment complexes are common causes.
With Dallas’s hot climate, many homes and community centers have pools. Owners must maintain safe pool decks, proper fencing, and functioning safety equipment.
Dog Bites and Animal Attacks
Dog attacks can occur in neighborhoods, public parks, or businesses that allow pets. Owners are liable if their negligence caused the incident.
Negligent Security
Property owners – especially apartment complexes, hotels, and entertainment venues – must provide adequate lighting, cameras, and trained security staff to protect visitors.
Dallas’s rapid development means ongoing construction. Contractors and property owners must secure their sites to prevent injuries to bystanders and nearby residents.

-
Medical expenses (treatment, rehabilitation, ongoing care)
-
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
