Property in What Is Premises Liability?

• Are You Liable for Accidents on Your Leased Property?

  A landlord can be liable for injuries on leased property when their negligence caused the accident — failing to fix a known dangerous condition, failing to warn of a hidden risk, or ignoring a hazard a reasonable inspection would have found. Liability turns on premises liability law and the visitor's legal status, and it is a fact-specific question in both Louisiana and Texas.

• Does a Posted Sign on Your Property Prevent Liability?

  A posted warning sign can help limit a property owner's liability, but it is not an automatic shield. Whether a No Trespassing or Beware of Dog sign protects you depends on how it is worded, where it is placed, who was hurt, and whether you also took reasonable steps to fix the hazard. The outcome is highly fact-specific.
