Tylka Law Firm - Premier Attorneys for Premises Liability Claims
When dangerous property conditions cause serious injuries across Texas – from slip and fall accidents on rain-soaked floors at Houston’s bustling retail centers to catastrophic falls from defective staircases at Galveston’s historic tourist attractions – injured victims face complex premises liability laws that require experienced legal representation to secure fair compensation. Tylka Law Firm has established itself as Texas’s leading premises liability law firm, representing hundreds of clients seriously injured by negligent property owners and managers throughout the Houston metropolitan area, Galveston County, and across Texas’s diverse commercial and residential properties. Our experienced Texas premises liability attorneys understand that slip and fall cases, inadequate security claims, and dangerous condition lawsuits demand comprehensive investigation of property maintenance records, safety protocols, and owner knowledge of hazardous conditions that ordinary personal injury lawyers often overlook in their pursuit of quick settlements.
The Greater Houston area’s combination of high humidity, frequent rainfall, and heavy pedestrian traffic creates particularly hazardous conditions for slip and fall accidents, with Texas reporting over 35,000 premises liability injuries annually – many occurring in high-traffic areas like downtown Houston’s theater district, the bustling Galleria shopping complex, and Galveston’s popular Seawall Boulevard tourist corridor where wet conditions and crowded walkways contribute to preventable falls. Tylka Law Firm’s Houston premises liability lawyers possess intimate knowledge of local property hazards including the slippery conditions common at Hermann Park during Houston’s rainy season, dangerous parking garage conditions at major medical centers, and the unique slip hazards created by sand and saltwater tracked into Galveston’s beachfront hotels and restaurants. Our legal team recognizes that premises liability claims involving iconic Houston landmarks like Discovery Green, the Museum District, and Buffalo Bayou Park require thorough understanding of municipal liability laws, while cases at Galveston’s historic Strand District or Moody Gardens demand expertise in tourism-related safety regulations.

Tylka Law Firm handles all Premises Liability Claims
From "Slip & Falls" to Hazardous Construction
Texas premises liability law creates unique challenges for injured victims, requiring proof that property owners had actual or constructive knowledge of dangerous conditions and failed to remedy hazards within a reasonable timeframe – a complex legal standard that demands aggressive investigation of maintenance logs, incident reports, and witness testimony that inexperienced attorneys frequently fail to secure before crucial evidence disappears. Tylka Law Firm’s comprehensive approach to premises liability cases includes immediate scene documentation, expert analysis of slip coefficients and lighting conditions, thorough review of surveillance footage, and detailed investigation of property owner policies that reveal patterns of negligent maintenance. Our legal team handles every type of premises liability claim from slip and fall injuries on wet floors and uneven surfaces to catastrophic falls from defective balconies and staircases, inadequate security cases resulting in assaults and robberies, swimming pool accidents, elevator and escalator malfunctions, and toxic exposure incidents in poorly maintained buildings.
The devastating impact of serious premises liability injuries – including traumatic brain injuries from falls, spinal cord damage, broken bones requiring multiple surgeries, and permanent disabilities that prevent victims from returning to work – demands experienced legal representation that understands the full scope of damages available under Texas law, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care costs that insurance companies routinely undervalue. Tylka Law Firm’s proven track record includes securing substantial settlements and jury verdicts for premises liability clients throughout Texas, from a Houston grandmother who suffered a traumatic brain injury in a grocery store fall to a Galveston tourist who sustained permanent spinal injuries due to a defective hotel balcony railing. Our premises liability attorneys work with leading safety experts, accident reconstruction specialists, and medical professionals to build compelling cases that demonstrate property owner negligence and the full extent of our clients’ injuries.

When Should You Hire a Texas Premises Liability Claims Lawyer?
While not every injury requires a lawyer, there are circumstances where having an attorney on your side can make all the difference. You should consider hiring a personal injury attorney if:- You’ve sustained significant injuries that require medical attention or long-term care.
- The accident involves injury parties or complex liability issues.
- The insurance company or worker’s compensation is offering a low settlement or denying your claim.
- There is a dispute about fault, and you need legal representation to protect your interests.
Q: How does a workers' compensation lawsuit differ from a personal injury lawsuit?
- Workers’ compensation provides benefits regardless of fault but limits compensation to medical expenses and partial wage replacement
- Personal injury lawsuits require proving negligence but offer compensation for all damages including pain and suffering, full lost wages, and punitive damages
- Workers’ compensation prevents suing your employer but allows claims against third parties responsible for workplace accidents
- Tylka Law Firm evaluates each case to pursue both workers’ compensation and viable third-party claims when possible
Q: What compensation can I recover from a workplace injury in Texas?
- Medical expenses (past and future) related to your workplace injury

- Permanent disability and disfigurement compensation
- Death benefits for families who have lost loved ones in workplace accidents
Q: What should I do immediately after an accident in Texas?
- Seek medical attention immediately, even if injuries seem minor—some serious conditions like traumatic brain injuries or internal bleeding may not show symptoms right away
- Call 911 to report the accident and ensure police create an official report
- Document the scene with photos of vehicle damage, property damage, road conditions, and any visible injuries
- Collect contact information from all parties involved, witnesses, and responding officers
- Avoid discussing fault or making statements to insurance companies beyond basic factual information
- Keep detailed records of all medical treatment, missed work, and expenses related to the accident
- Contact Tylka Law Firm as soon as possible to protect your rights—evidence can disappear quickly and insurance companies will begin working immediately to minimize your claim
Q: How long do I have to file a workplace injury claim in Texas?
- Workers’ compensation claims must typically be reported within 30 days of injury

- Personal injury lawsuits against third parties generally have a two-year statute of limitations
- Failure to meet these deadlines typically results in losing your right to compensation
- Consulting Tylka Law Firm immediately after injury ensures all deadlines are met
Q: Why do I need an attorney for my workers' compensation or personal injury claim?
- Studies show represented workers receive significantly higher settlements
- Insurance companies frequently deny valid claims or terminate benefits prematurely
- Complex paperwork and procedural requirements create pitfalls for unrepresented workers
