A Texas personal injury claim generates more paperwork than most injured people expect. Before you reach the George L.

Texas law treats a person riding a bicycle on a public road as a vehicle operator with the same rights and duties as a motor vehicle driver.

Texas slip and fall claims turn on notice. Almost every single one. The question is pretty much always the same. Did the property owner know about the dangerous condition, or should they have known before someone got hurt? Under Texas premises liability law, the injured invitee has to prove the owner had actual or constructive […]
