- Premises Liability
When a person or company that has a responsibility to maintain a safe property or otherwise safe environment is found negligent in doing so, it is typically because a separate individual suffered an injury. If this is appropriately proven and the remaining criteria for a personal injury matter have been met, the party found liable will be required to compensate you for your losses. Personal injury matters can cover a wide range of incidents, and though your injury may not initially seem like the typical PI scenario—such as a car accident or work injury—there is no harm in speaking with an experienced team of attorneys in a free consultation to learn about your options. In today’s blog, your Dallas, TX catastrophic personal injury attorneys take a closer look at hazing injuries and identify how our team may be able to represent you.
A Type of Premises Liability
For decades, students and adolescents have used hazing as a sort of rite of passage or initiation process to allow individuals entry into an organization, fraternity, sorority, or other group. There have been several incidents over the years where hazing activities have gotten wildly out of hand, resulting in serious injuries like amputations, permanent cognitive disability, and death.
Though every case is different depending on the circumstances involved, Texas has laws intended to prevent hazing and protect the health and safety of students. Violations of anti-hazing statutes can provide an avenue to recovery. To prove negligence in a hazing injury case, it must be demonstrated that the defendant owed the injured individual a duty of care, that there was a breach of that duty, that the breach caused the victim injuries, and that those injuries resulted in damages. Fortunately, your skilled Dallas, TX personal injury attorneys can help you understand what this means in context with your incident, as well as what legal options you may have.
Holding Every Possible Party Accountable
In Texas, proving negligence in a hazing matter is typically a two-step process involving demonstrating that a duty of care applied, and then proving that the owner/responding party knew or should have known about the injury-causing hazard. Bear in mind that most hazing injury cases are not as straightforward as this, and as a result, it is important to seek guidance from experienced authorities in the field. Additionally, speak with lawyers that will continue to dig deeper for information and will not stop at the obvious liable party.
