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.

Premises Liability Cases We Handle
We handle cases including, but not limited to:
- Slip and fall accidents
- Trip and fall accidents
- Negligent security and inadequate security
- Dog bites and other animal attacks
- Boiling water
- Accidents on construction sites
- Inadequate property maintenance
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.

Chuck Cole and his staff did a wonderful job representing my son, daughter, & son-in-law after they were struck by an intoxicated driver while they were pedestrians in San Marcos. He kept them informed & up-to-date, returned phone calls promptly, was extremely encouraging and caring, and did a great job of legal representation.Bradley K.

A little over a year ago, I was in a car accident of no fault of my own. Initially, the person's Insurance company was ok with me. They took liability and told me to take my car to get it fixed. They also informed me they were sending a check for the repair and gave me a rental. After three days, they called and said they were voiding the check and totaling my car! My car had been at the repair shop and was 90% ready. I was SO stressed out, crying, and had no idea what to do! I went to see Luther Easley. I explained the situation to him, and he assured me he would handle it all for me. He gave me such peace of mind immediately. I cannot express the relief I had knowing he was handling everything for me. Luther was kind, patient, and very informative of each step he was taking regarding my case. He was honest, open, and upfront about everything. He never sugar-coated anything. It wasn't about the money for me, but Luther Easley was able to make them repair my vehicle AND won a substantial settlement for me. God forbid you were ever in a car accident or any other kind of accident, but if so, I would highly recommend Luther Easley at Cole Cole Easley Sciba Law Firm. He was the best! Also, his assistant, Donna, was so nice to deal with! The entire staff was very kind and professional! I know everyone thinks lawyers are just out to take your money, but in my situation, I was so grateful to have Luther Easley as my lawyer! He DESERVED and EARNED every penny! I would have been screwed without him; for lack of better words! Thank you, Luther Easley, and kudos to you! You truly are one of the best attorneys in Victoria!Trina H.

Jim has provided legal counsel for me in several situations. I felt well-represented in a very professional way. The most difficult one was when I broke my neck in a car wreck. The insurance of the responsible party did not want to pay anything close to the amount I felt they owed. Jim led me through the process. It was a difficult case, but we settled during negotiations. I was impressed with Jim's guidance and support, and I was very pleased with the settlement. He is a great attorney!Cheryl O.
