Justice Served:

Record Verdicts Achieved

For their successful pursuit of justice in the face of adversity, Lyons & Simmons attorneys Michael Lyons, Chris Simmons, Chris Carr, and Stephen Higdon have been awarded the Dallas Trial Lawyers Association’s prestigious 2021 John Howie Award. The honor is based on the trial team’s work representing an Alabama mother who lost three children in a tragic West Texas highway accident.
In a case that drew national attention, Lyons & Simmons attorneys Michael Lyons, Chris Simmons, Chris Carr, P. Wes Black, and Michael Wozniak won a record-setting $109.5 million verdict against CPS Energy after proving the company’s failure to maintain its gas system led to a devastating explosion and fire. The result not only delivered justice for the victims — it set a new standard for accountability in the utility industry.
The firm secured a landmark jury verdict for a client whose life was permanently changed after systemic hospital failures caused a nearly five-hour delay in emergency surgery, resulting in catastrophic paralysis. The case brought to light serious breaches of hospital policy and was recognized by Courtroom View Network as one of the nation’s top verdicts of 2022.

What is Premises Liability?

Premises liability claims allow people who have been injured on another person’s property to receive compensation for their damages. In this area of the law, people who own property are considered legally responsible for creating safe conditions and protecting their visitors from injury.

In order for a premises liability case to be considered viable, the following conditions must be met:

An injury must have occurred on another person’s property

Injuries must have been caused by dangerous conditions on the property

The property owner must have been aware of the dangerous conditions and failed to correct them

Types of Premises Liability Cases

An injury victim may be able to raise a premises liability claim if their injuries were caused by dangerous conditions at another person’s home or business. Although cases commonly focus on the physical conditions on a property (for example, wet and slippery floors), a case can also be brought forth for conditions that contribute to an unsafe environment, such as inadequate security.

Some of the most common causes of premises liability cases include:

Inadequate security
Falling objects
Toxic exposure
Electrical issues
Swimming pool injuries (unfenced pools, slippery decks, pool chemicals, etc.)
Slip and fall accidents (wet and slippery floors, loose floorboards, etc.)
Poor lighting

Are Trespassers Protected by Premises Liability Laws?

A person cannot file a premises liability claim if they were injured while trespassing. By breaking the law and trespassing on a property, a person waives their right to file a premises liability claim. Premises liability laws only apply to people who are invited to a property.

There is an exception to this rule if the “trespasser” is a child. For example, a child may wander into their neighbor’s yard to play in their swimming pool. Young children are not legally considered as trespassers because they are most likely not aware that they are not supposed to be on the property where they are “trespassing.” For this reason, children are protected under premises liability laws. These cases are considered partly under what is known as the “attractive nuisance doctrine.” The doctrine defines things which may cause a child to enter a property as “attractive nuisances” and labels such things as dangers to children. Property owners who do not protect children from attractive nuisances on their property — for example, by fencing in a pool — can be held liable for resulting injuries.

Mi experiencia con el Sr. Mike Lyons, el Sr. Chris Simmons y su equipo fue excepcional. Manejaron mi caso con tal profesionalidad que me sentí muy tranquila. No me sentí como un simple número de caso ni como una clienta más. Fueron muy atentos con la familia, lo que me hizo sentir que la mía era su prioridad. Siempre me mantuvieron al tanto del estado de todos los trámites y, si tenía alguna inquietud, la atendían. Respetaron todas mis decisiones. Espero no tener que volver a contratar sus servicios, pero si lo necesitara, Mike y Chris serían mi primera opción. Creo que nos hemos hecho buenos amigos. Recomendaría a Lyons & Simmons a cualquiera que busque lo mejor en representación legal. Muchas gracias de parte de la familia Waldridge. ¡Que Dios los bendiga!

“
Un fatal accidente aéreo dejó a mi familia sumida en una profunda angustia. Siendo una joven viuda y madre de un bebé, estaba aterrorizada e insegura sobre cómo seguir adelante en un mundo que lo había trastocado todo. Lyons & Simmons se convirtió rápidamente en el pilar que mantuvo unida a nuestra familia. Todo su equipo me acompañó y me guio hacia las siguientes etapas de mi vida con confianza y ternura."
Cuando la pandemia de COVID-19 azotó una semana después del accidente, Lyons & Simmons continuó trabajando diligentemente en medio de los cierres mundiales. Si bien defienden con esmero a sus clientes, su trabajo es genuino y sincero. No se han insensibilizado ante las trágicas experiencias de sus clientes, y gracias a ellos he encontrado apoyo en todos los sentidos. Mis preguntas reciben respuestas completas y oportunas. Hacen hincapié en la estrategia y realizan un análisis exhaustivo de cada caso.
Lyons & Simmons ha forjado y mantiene sólidas relaciones con personas de todos los ámbitos de su práctica. La profesionalidad demostrada por Mike, Chris, Melinda y los demás es inigualable, y su capacidad para iluminar incluso las situaciones más difíciles es verdaderamente admirable. Admiro al equipo de Lyons & Simmons y seguiré agradeciendo a Dios por el trabajo que han realizado por mí y por mi hijo hasta el último día de mi vida.
