Premises Liability Attorneys in Victoria
Helping Those Who Have Been Injured on Someone Else's Property in Texas
If you were injured on someone else’s property, you may be able to bring a claim for premises liability. Did the property owner fail to make a repair? Did the business owner neglect to provide protection against crime? Did the homeowner fail to warn you about an unsafe condition?
Some law firms do not take premises liability cases because they are not willing to use the extensive resources that those cases require. Cole, Cole, Easley & Sciba, P.C. has the resources on hand. We are dedicated to protecting the rights of our injured clients, no matter how complex their case.
Contact Cole, Cole, Easley & Sciba, P.C. today to get started with our premises liability lawyer in Victoria.

Recovering in a Premises Liability Case
In order to recover on a premises liability claim, you have to prove that:
- There was an unreasonably dangerous condition on the premises; and
- The owner or occupier knew or should have known of the condition; and
- The owner or occupier failed to warn of the condition or make the condition safe.
If the property owner did not know of the dangerous condition and the condition was not obvious (such as a broken step), you probably do not have a claim for premises liability. Texas law is strict here. You need documentation of the condition and evidence showing that the owner knew — or should have known — of the condition.
Some owners fix the condition to cover up the accident or avoid future problems. Under the right circumstances, our attorneys and experienced investigators can go out to the accident site to take photographs of the condition before it changes. We can also hire experts to inspect the premises and determine whether they are up to code.

I have gone through hell in the family court system in Texas against the father of my children, who is an attorney in our community with abundant legal resources. After years of fighting for my children, I was unjustly put in criminal contempt for not bringing my daughter to soccer practice despite following the custody agreement and the advice of my attorneys at the time. I asked about appeal options, and while the attorneys felt my case was justified, they said it would be a waste of my time and money and that only two percent of cases win on appeal. However, as a mother and a teacher, I wanted to clear my reputation and fight for what’s right. I hired a law firm to file a mandamus with the Court of Appeals, but the court denied our petition. Not wanting to give up, I decided to go to the Texas Supreme Court. After consulting with a few attorneys who were very discouraging and didn’t want to take my case, one referred me to Attorney Sam Cole. Sam told me my case was a long shot but agreed I was right and would fight for me if I wanted to proceed. He worked with me on my case and on a payment plan that worked for my situation. He always explained everything and answered questions with patience and understanding. He thoroughly researched all that had happened and the law that surrounded the issue. Sam treated me as a person and not just a paycheck, and had I lost in the Supreme Court, I would still be writing this review. However, the Supreme Court did rule in our favor, and after more than 2.5 years of this hanging over my head, I am completely vindicated. I hope the outcome of my case will help prevent this from happening to others in the future.Pamela J.
