  • AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field Spectator Injury Claims: How Texas Handles Them

    Between AT&T Stadium in Arlington and Globe Life Field next door, the Dallas-Fort Worth area hosts tens of millions of spectators a year across NFL, MLB, concerts, and events. A spectator injury claim at one of these venues runs into a question ordinary Texas premises cases don’t raise: how much of the risk did the…

  • Fort Worth Stockyards Visitor and Rodeo Event Injury Claims

    The Fort Worth Stockyards draws millions of visitors a year for the twice-daily longhorn cattle drive, rodeo events at Cowtown Coliseum, and a historic district built around working livestock pens. That mix of tourism and actual animal handling creates injury scenarios most Texas premises-liability cases never touch — a startled longhorn, a rodeo-arena mishap, a…

  • The Texas One-Bite Rule: Dog Attack Claims in Dallas

    Texas dog bite law starts from a premise that surprises a lot of bite victims. Getting hurt by a dog does not automatically make the owner liable. Texas is not a strict-liability state the way Arizona is. A bite victim generally has to show the owner knew, or should have known, the dog was dangerous.…

  • Slip and Fall in Texas: Why Premises Cases Are Harder Here

    A slip and fall Dallas case rarely turns on whether a hazard existed. Floors get wet, sidewalks crack, mats bunch up — that part is easy to prove. What matters is different: did the property owner know about the hazard, or should the owner have known? Texas courts don’t treat landowners as automatically responsible just…

  • Can You Sue If a Friend’s Dog Bites You?

    When a friend’s dog bites you, the law treats it exactly like a stranger’s dog. The owner answers under the same rules. In most states that responsibility is strict, so it doesn’t depend on whether the dog had ever bitten anyone before. The part that makes people hesitate isn’t the law. It’s the friendship. Suing…

  • Tucson International Airport Ground Transportation Accidents: Rental Shuttle and Curbside Claims

    A Tucson airport accident claim involving a shuttle bus, parking tram, or curbside vehicle runs into a wrinkle most other Tucson properties don’t raise. Tucson International Airport sits on land the City of Tucson has owned since 1941. The city doesn’t run day-to-day operations, though. A separate nonprofit corporation, the Tucson Airport Authority, has operated…

  • Injured at the Tucson Rodeo (La Fiesta de los Vaqueros): Spectator and Animal-Related Liability

    A Tucson Rodeo injury claim starts on ground the city itself owns. The Tucson Rodeo Grounds is a 36-acre, city-owned facility on South Sixth Avenue. It hosts La Fiesta de los Vaqueros every February, one of the largest outdoor winter rodeos in the country. The event itself is produced by the nonprofit Tucson Rodeo Committee,…

  • Hurt Hiking Sabino Canyon or Tucson Trails: Does Anyone Owe You?

    A hiking accident claim Tucson trail users bring depends heavily on one fact most hikers never think about: who actually owns the trail. Sabino Canyon sits inside the Coronado National Forest, federal land managed by the U.S. Forest Service. A city-maintained wash trail or a Pima County natural area runs under an entirely different set…

  • Heat Injury Liability in Tucson: When Extreme Heat Becomes a Claim

    A heat injury claim Tucson courts see almost always starts the same way: someone assumes the desert heat itself is the defense, and the case gets dropped before it’s evaluated. That assumption is usually wrong. Arizona doesn’t excuse a property owner, employer, or event organizer from ordinary negligence duties just because the injury involved heat…

  • Swimming Pool Accidents in Tucson: Barriers, Liability, and Claims

    A pool accident lawyer Tucson families call after a drowning or near-drowning almost always starts with one question: did the pool have a compliant barrier? Arizona’s pool enclosure law, A.R.S. § 36-1681, sets specific physical requirements for any pool 18 inches or deeper and wider than 8 feet. Tucson’s desert climate keeps backyard and community…
