In Texas — and especially across the Houston metro — property owners open their doors to millions of shoppers, tenants, and workers every day, and the law expects them to keep those spaces reasonably safe. The Moudgil Law Firm handles premises liability cases in which someone is injured on another party’s property because the owner or occupier failed to correct a known hazard or warn about it.

Legal Status Classifications:

Licensee (moderate protection): Social visitors with permission
Trespasser (limited protection): Unauthorized presence on property
Important: You have two years from the date of injury to file a claim under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 16.003.

We believe in keeping our clients fully informed throughout every stage of the legal process, empowering them to make well-informed decisions about their cases.
Premises liability refers to a property owner’s legal responsibility for injuries that occur due to unsafe or hazardous conditions on their property. Common examples include slip and falls, falling objects, poor lighting, broken stairs, and inadequate security.
Who can be held liable for a premises liability injury?
In Texas, liability can fall on property owners, landlords, business operators, or property managers—anyone responsible for maintaining the premises. The Moudgil Law Firm will identify all responsible parties to strengthen your claim.
What damages can I recover in a premises liability case?
You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, future medical care, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. In serious cases, damages for permanent disability or disfigurement may also apply.
How long do I have to file a premises liability claim in Texas?
Texas law generally gives you two years from the date of the incident to file a premises liability lawsuit. Delays can harm your case, so it’s best to contact an attorney as soon as possible.
Do I need a lawyer for a premises liability claim?
Yes. Premises liability cases often involve complex legal standards and pushback from insurance companies. An experienced attorney from The Moudgil Law Firm can investigate the property conditions, prove negligence, and fight for the compensation you deserve.
