El Paso Premises Liability Attorneys Holding Property Owners Accountable
Property owners in Texas have a legal responsibility to keep their premises reasonably safe for visitors. When they neglect maintenance, ignore hazards, or fail to provide adequate warnings, innocent people get hurt. Premises liability injuries can happen anywhere — in grocery stores, parking lots, apartment complexes, restaurants, office buildings, construction sites, and private residences.
At Lovett & Murray, we represent injury victims across El Paso, Las Cruces, and the surrounding region who have been harmed by dangerous property conditions. With over 30 years of experience and more than $150 million recovered for our clients, we have the knowledge and resources to take on negligent property owners, management companies, and their insurers.
Common Premises Liability Cases We Handle
Our attorneys represent clients injured in a wide range of premises liability scenarios throughout El Paso and Southern New Mexico:
- Slip and fall accidents — wet floors, icy walkways, uneven surfaces, loose rugs, and spills that are not promptly cleaned or marked
- Trip and fall hazards — broken sidewalks, potholes in parking lots, damaged steps, and cluttered aisles
- Inadequate security — assaults, robberies, and violent crimes that occur because a property owner failed to provide proper security measures such as lighting, cameras, or security personnel
- Swimming pool accidents — drownings and near-drownings caused by lack of fencing, broken gates, absent lifeguards, or improperly maintained pools
- Dog bites on property — attacks by dogs that property owners or tenants knew were dangerous
- Elevator and escalator injuries — malfunctions, sudden stops, and defective components that cause falls or entrapment
- Toxic exposure — mold, lead paint, asbestos, and chemical hazards in residential and commercial buildings
- Falling objects — merchandise, signage, fixtures, and construction debris that fall and injure visitors
- Negligent maintenance — broken handrails, exposed wiring, cracked flooring, and structural defects
Who Can Be Held Liable?
In a premises liability case, liability can extend to multiple parties depending on the circumstances:
- Property owners — individuals or entities that own the property where the injury occurred
- Property management companies — firms responsible for day-to-day maintenance and safety
- Tenants and lessees — businesses or individuals occupying the space who have control over conditions
- General contractors — in construction or renovation contexts where hazards are created by work activities
- Government entities — for injuries on public property, though special rules and shorter deadlines apply
Our attorneys investigate every potential source of liability to ensure you receive the fullest recovery possible.
