You walked into a store, apartment building, or parking lot expecting it to be safe. Instead, a wet floor without a warning sign, a broken staircase, or a dark parking garage without security turned an ordinary day into a nightmare. Property owners in Texas have a legal duty to keep their premises safe - and when they cut corners, people get hurt. Jose Robles Jr is a Fort Worth premises liability attorney who holds negligent property owners and their insurance companies accountable for the injuries they cause. No fee unless we win.
A slip and fall or property accident might sound minor until it happens to you. A broken hip from a wet grocery store floor. A traumatic brain injury from a collapsed railing. A sexual assault in a poorly lit apartment complex parking lot with no security cameras. These injuries change lives - and the property owners responsible will do everything they can to avoid paying.
As a decorated Air Force combat veteran and Fort Worth personal injury attorney, Joe Robles Jr brings military discipline and aggressive preparation to every premises liability case. We investigate the property, pull Tarrant County inspection records, obtain surveillance footage before it gets deleted, and identify every party responsible - from the property owner to the management company to the maintenance contractor who ignored a work order.
Whether your injury happened at a Fort Worth Stockyards venue, a retail center on Hulen Street, an apartment complex off Camp Bowie Boulevard, or a commercial property anywhere in Tarrant County, we handle the legal fight so you can focus on getting better.
We represent victims of dangerous property conditions across Fort Worth, Richardson, San Antonio, and the DFW Metroplex:
No matter where the injury occurred, we investigate the property's maintenance history, prior complaints, and every available source of compensation.
Property owners and their insurance companies will blame you for not watching where you are going. They will claim the hazard was obvious or that you were somewhere you should not have been. We dismantle those defenses with evidence.
Joe personally reviews your case, explains your legal options in plain language, and answers every question - at no cost and zero obligation. Call (214) 444-3343.
Time is critical in premises liability cases. Surveillance footage gets overwritten. Maintenance logs disappear. We send immediate preservation letters to the property owner demanding they retain all video, incident reports, inspection records, and maintenance work orders. We visit the scene, photograph the hazard, and document conditions before anything gets repaired.
We pull Tarrant County property records, building inspection reports, and code violation histories. We interview employees and witnesses. We hire engineering experts when structural defects cause the injury. We establish exactly what the property owner knew, when they knew it, and why they failed to fix it.
Armed with medical records, expert opinions, and clear evidence of negligence, we demand full compensation from the property owner's commercial liability insurance. These policies often carry $1 million or more in coverage. We do not accept lowball offers.
If the insurance company refuses to pay what your case is worth, we file suit and take them to trial in the Tarrant County District Court. Joe's 95% success rate comes from preparing every case as if it were going before a jury.
You pay nothing unless we win.
Premises liability settlements in Texas vary based on the type of hazard, injury severity, and the property owner's degree of negligence. Commercial properties typically carry substantial liability insurance, which increases the potential recovery.
| Injury Severity | Typical Settlement Range | What Drives the Value |
|---|---|---|
| Minor slip and fall, soft tissue | $15,000 - $50,000 | ER visit, sprains, bruising, short recovery |
| Moderate fall with fracture | $50,000 - $150,000 | Broken bones, surgery, physical therapy, lost wages |
| Severe fall, TBI or spinal injury | $150,000 - $500,000 | Hospitalization, long-term rehab, cognitive impairment |
| Negligent security assault | $200,000 - $750,000+ | Physical and psychological trauma, ongoing therapy |
| Catastrophic injury or death | $500,000 - $2M+ | Permanent disability, wrongful death, punitive damages |

Texas premises liability law imposes different duties on property owners depending on the property's legal status. Under the Texas Property Code and long-standing case law, the three classifications are:
Most premises liability cases involve invitees at commercial properties - and the law is firmly on your side.
The four elements of a premises liability claim in Texas:
Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 33.001, you can recover damages as long as you are less than 51% at fault (modified comparative negligence). The statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury under Section 16.003.
Notice requirement: For slip-and-fall claims, we must prove the property owner knew about the hazard or that it existed long enough for them to have discovered it through reasonable inspection. Our investigation focuses on establishing this constructive notice through maintenance logs, employee testimony, and surveillance footage.
