When unsafe property causes serious harm.
Property owners who profit from a space have a duty to keep it reasonably safe. When they don’t — and someone is badly hurt — LOAR investigates what the owner knew and builds the case that proves it.
The question is what the owner knew.
Serious premises cases turn on notice and choices: What did the owner or operator know about the danger? How long had it existed? What inspections, complaints, prior incidents, and repair requests came before your injury? What would a responsible owner have done differently?
Answering those questions takes evidence the owner controls — inspection logs, maintenance records, incident reports, security footage, staffing schedules, and internal policies. LOAR moves early to preserve it and uses discovery to get the rest.
The firm is selective, focusing on premises matters involving serious injuries and clear failures — the cases where thorough preparation genuinely changes outcomes.
Serious matters, carefully investigated.
Negligent Security
Assaults and attacks that adequate lighting, staffing, access control, or monitoring should have prevented.
Dangerous Conditions
Structural failures, unsafe walking surfaces, falling merchandise, and hazards left unrepaired.
Commercial & Retail
Injuries at stores, restaurants, hotels, apartments, and entertainment venues.
Industrial Premises
Unsafe conditions injuring workers and visitors at plants, warehouses, and jobsites.
Drowning & Pool Incidents
Missing barriers, broken gates, and unsupervised hazards involving water.
Electrocution & Utilities
Exposed lines, faulty wiring, and utility hazards on residential and commercial property.
Evidence first. Always.
Premises evidence is uniquely perishable — conditions get fixed the day after an injury.
Listen
What happened, where, and what the property looked like at the moment of injury.
Preserve
Preservation demands for footage and records; scene documentation before conditions change.
Develop
Notice, prior incidents, industry standards, medical proof, and the full damages picture.
Resolve or Try
Pursue fair resolution when possible — fully prepared for trial when it is not.

Answers before you reach out.
What is a premises liability case?
A claim against a property owner or operator whose negligence caused a serious injury — dangerous conditions, inadequate maintenance, missing warnings, or negligent security. The law asks what the owner knew or should have known, and what a reasonable owner would have done about it.
Are these just slip-and-fall cases?
No. LOAR’s premises work focuses on serious matters: negligent security leading to assaults, structural and maintenance failures, unsafe commercial and industrial premises, drowning and electrocution hazards, and conditions that cause life-changing injuries.
What do I have to prove in Texas?
Generally, that a dangerous condition existed, that the owner knew or reasonably should have known about it, that the owner failed to fix it or warn about it, and that the failure caused your injuries. Your status on the property — customer, guest, worker — affects the duty owed. Evidence like inspection logs, complaints, and camera footage often decides these questions.
What should I do after being hurt on someone’s property?
Get medical care, report the incident to the owner or manager, photograph the condition before it changes, save your clothing and shoes if relevant, and get witness names. Camera footage is often overwritten in days — calling promptly lets a preservation demand go out before it is gone.
What does it cost to hire LOAR?
Consultations are free, and LOAR works on a contingency fee — no attorney fee unless the firm recovers compensation for you.
