Whether it’s due to poor maintenance or other unsafe conditions, our legal professionals are here to help you with your case and protect your rights.

At Robert Law Group, we hold property owners accountable for various forms of negligence, including:
Protecting your rights after an incident on a property requires immediate action:
To succeed, we must prove the property owner owed a duty of care, breached that duty by failing to fix a hazard, and that this negligence directly caused your injury. In Utah, you have a four year window to file your claim, though evidence like surveillance footage is often lost much sooner.
Under Utah’s modified comparative negligence rule, you can still recover damages as long as you’re less than 50% at fault. For example, if you were injured by a broken stair but were also distracted by your phone, a court might find you 20% at fault — on $10,000 in damages, you’d still recover $8,000 after the reduction. Evidence like surveillance footage and witness statements helps establish the real degree of fault.
Insurance companies often argue that a danger was “open and obvious” or that you assumed the risk. We refute these tactics by gathering maintenance records and witness statements to prove the owner knew or should have known about the hazard. Under modified comparative negligence, you can still recover damages even if you are partially at fault, as long as your responsibility is less than 50%.
Aimée Robert leads our team in providing dedicated support with a focus on personalized service. We use a contingency fee structure, meaning you pay nothing unless we succeed in your case. This allows you to focus on your physical recovery while we manage the tactical legal details.
Most premises liability cases settle out of court through negotiations with the property owner’s insurer. If a fair settlement isn’t offered, going to court may be necessary to secure the compensation you deserve.
Case value depends on the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. An attorney can assess these factors to determine a fair estimate.
Timelines vary widely. Cases with clear liability can settle in months; more complex cases involving detailed investigations or disputes over fault can take significantly longer.
Our Utah attorneys are ready to provide the support and guidance you need.

Handling a personal injury case can be challenging, and making mistakes can significantly impact the outcome of your claim. Here are some common pitfalls to avoid:
Failing to see a doctor immediately after an accident can weaken your claim. Insurance companies may argue your injuries aren't serious.
Insurance adjusters may ask for a recorded statement early on. Anything you say can be used to reduce or deny your claim.
Initial settlement offers are often far below what your case is worth. An attorney can help you understand the true value of your claim.
Photos and posts can be taken out of context and used against you. Avoid discussing your accident or injuries online.
Texas has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury cases. Missing this deadline can bar you from recovering compensation entirely.
Photos, witness statements, and medical records are critical. Preserve as much evidence as possible from the scene and your treatment.
We provide a free case evaluation to help clients quickly determine the value of their personal injury claim. This helps victims understand their rights and explore legal actions before talking to insurance companies. Clients should bring a detailed account of their accident and recovery to the first meeting. This is the first step for injury victims to seek legal advice and start their journey toward compensation.
Talking to an injury lawyer in Houston early can make your case stronger. When you hire us, we investigate your case with skilled investigators and experts to gather important evidence. This thorough evaluation builds a strong case, preparing clients for any legal challenges.
