Property owners have the responsibility to keep their premises free of recognizable safety hazards to those lawfully on their property. Commercial property owners who invite others onto their property for business purposes, or owners of hotels and apartment buildings, have a special duty of care to regularly inspect their property, perform routine maintenance, and promptly address safety hazards.
When a property owner fails to take these reasonable actions and, as a result, you or a close family member suffers a serious injury, call the Rio Bravo personal injury lawyers at Wawi Tijerina Law at (956) 489-1300 to learn about your right to compensation.

What Types of Premises Liability Cases Do We Commonly See In Rio Bravo?
Commercial property owners must take special care to ensure the safety of customers and patrons. Private homeowners must also consider the safety of those legally entering their property, such as delivery workers. When a property owner neglects their duty of reasonable care the following types of premises liability cases occur:
- Slip-and-fall injuries
- Trip-and-fall injuries
- Pool injuries
- Dog bites
- Structure fires
- Falls from heights due to balcony collapse, staircase accidents, and escalator accidents
- Elevator accidents
- Ceiling collapse
- Parking lot injuries
- Assaults due to inadequate security
- “Struck-by” injuries from falling objects like shelves or tree limbs
Depending on the type of premises accident, injuries range from mild, fully recoverable injuries with a single hospital bill, to severe or catastrophic injuries with life-altering adverse consequences. These are the “damages” in a premises liability claim. Compensation for damages typically comes from a claim against the property owner’s liability insurance.
If the premises accident resulted in a loved one’s passing, contact our wrongful death attorneys in Rio Bravo today to get the justice they deserve.
