Elida Ramirez De Marquez v. Home Depot U.S.A., Inc.

McAllen, Texas personal injury lawyers Michael J. Cisneros and Arturo Cisneros represented the Plaintiff who sued the Defendant on a premises liability negligence theory.

The following five elements may typically be required to prove negligence: The existence of a legal duty that theendant owed the plaintiff, Defendant's breach of that duty, Harm to the plaintiff, Defendant's actions are the proximate cause of harm to the plaintiff, and Defendant's actions are the cause-in-fact of harm to the plaintiff.



A premises liability action is a form of "negligence” based on a

premises defect theory. The elements to establish a premises

liability claim are different than those of a traditional negligence

claim. The claim must arise out of a condition of the premises.
