Property Owners Have a Legal Duty to Keep You Safe

When you step onto someone else's property — a grocery store on 10th Street, a shopping center near La Plaza Mall, an apartment complex in North McAllen, or a business along the US-83 corridor — the law requires that property to be reasonably safe. When owners fail that duty and you get hurt, you shouldn't be left paying the price.

Dangerous conditions like wet floors, broken staircases, poor lighting, uneven pavement, or inadequate security cause serious injuries every day across Hidalgo County. Medical bills stack up. Work gets missed. And insurance companies move fast to minimize what they pay you.

The Almaraz Law Firm stands between you and that process. As your premises liability attorney in McAllen, we investigate the property, document the hazard, establish the owner's negligence, and build the strongest possible case on your behalf.

What a Premises Liability Claim Covers

Under Texas law, a property owner or occupier who knew — or should have known — about a dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn you can be held liable for your injuries. Our premises liability law firm handles cases involving:

• Slip and fall accidents on wet, slippery, or uneven surfaces
• Dangerous stairways, broken handrails, and unmarked hazards
• Inadequate lighting in parking lots, stairwells, and corridors
• Negligent security leading to assault or robbery
• Swimming pool accidents and drownings on private property
• Dog bites and animal attacks on another's premises
• Structural defects and falling objects

Whether you were a customer, a guest, or a tenant, you likely have legal protections. Texas law recognizes that invitees — people lawfully on a property for mutual benefit — are owed the highest duty of care. We evaluate exactly where you stood legally and build your claim accordingly.

How a Premises Liability Case Works

1. Free consultation — You describe what happened. We listen, evaluate liability, and tell you honestly what your case may be worth.
2. Investigation — We gather surveillance footage, incident reports, maintenance records, witness statements, and photographs of the hazard.
3. Demand and negotiation — We present a documented demand to the property owner's insurer and negotiate aggressively for a fair settlement.
4. Litigation if necessary — If the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, we take your case to the Hidalgo County District Courts and try it in front of a jury.
5. You recover — We pursue all available damages: medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, mental anguish, physical impairment, and loss of enjoyment of life.

Frequently Asked Questions About Premises Liability in McAllen, TX

How long do I have to file a premises liability claim in Texas?

Texas law gives injury victims two years from the date of the accident to file a premises liability lawsuit. Missing this deadline typically bars your claim permanently.

What do I need to prove in a premises liability case?

You must show that a dangerous condition existed, the property owner knew or should have known about it, they failed to fix it or warn you, and that failure directly caused your injuries.

Does it matter if I slipped and fell at a store versus a private home?

Yes. The duty of care depends on your legal status as an invitee, licensee, or trespasser at the time of your injury. Store customers are typically invitees and receive the highest level of legal protection.

What if the property owner says I was partially at fault?

Texas follows a proportionate responsibility system. You can still recover damages as long as you are not found more than 50% responsible for the accident.

Can I sue if I was injured at an apartment complex or rental property?

Yes. Landlords and property managers owe tenants and guests a duty to maintain safe conditions on common areas and throughout the property.

Is a free consultation really free?

Yes. There is no cost to speak with us, and we work on a contingency fee basis — you owe us nothing unless we win your case.
