Small Caseloads, Big Results
We limit the number of cases we take so we can devote the time and resources needed to build the strongest possible case for you.

You won't be handed off to a call center or chain of assistants. From day one, you'll have direct access to an attorney who is actively involved in your case.
Property Owner Accountability
We investigate the property owner's knowledge of hazardous conditions, maintenance records, prior complaints, and whether they took reasonable steps to protect visitors.
Dangerous Conditions
Common Dangerous Property Conditions
Property owners are liable when they know or should know about hazardous conditions and fail to fix them or warn visitors.
Wet & Slippery Floors
Spills, freshly mopped surfaces without warning signs, leaking pipes, and icy walkways that property owners knew about or should have addressed.
Poor Lighting & Visibility
Dark parking lots, unlit stairwells, and poorly maintained lighting that create dangerous conditions and increase the risk of falls and criminal attacks.
Broken or Missing Safety Features
Loose handrails, broken stairs, damaged flooring, missing guardrails, and defective elevators that create foreseeable dangers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Premises Liability FAQ
How do I prove a premises liability case?
You must show the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition, failed to fix it or warn visitors, and that condition directly caused your injury. We investigate maintenance records, prior complaints, and security footage to build this proof.
What if I was partially at fault for my injury?
Texas follows modified comparative negligence. You can still recover compensation as long as you were less than 51% at fault, though your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re 20% at fault and awarded $100,000, you’d receive $80,000.
How long do I have to file a premises liability claim in Texas?
Two years from the date of injury, but evidence like surveillance footage and maintenance logs can be lost quickly. We recommend contacting an attorney as soon as possible to preserve this critical evidence before it’s deleted or destroyed.
How much does it cost to hire Patterson Law Group?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. Your initial consultation is completely free with no obligation.
Does it matter if I was a customer, employee, or trespasser?
Yes. Texas law provides different levels of duty depending on your status. Invitees (customers) receive the highest duty of care, licensees (social guests) receive a moderate duty, and even trespassers have limited protections in some circumstances. We evaluate your status and the property owner’s duty to you.
