Chemical Safety and Premises Liability

It is important to learn about the dangers of any chemicals that you keep or use in your home. If used incorrectly, everything from lawn care chemicals to cleaning products can cause injury. Proper storage and use of these products is essential in order to prevent potentially devastating injuries and illnesses.

Unfortunately, it is not always possible to ensure that the environment you find yourself in is safe. If you or a loved one has experienced pain and suffering due to the failure of a property owner to properly store or use chemicals, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact the Waco premises liability attorneys at The Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C., today at 877-948-4842 to learn more about your legal rights and options.

Proper Chemical Use

There are many ways to keep yourself, your family, and your guests safe from hazardous chemicals. The following are ways that you can greatly decrease the likelihood of injuries and illnesses due to toxic chemical exposure:

  • Keep hazardous substances out of sight and properly stored away from other household items
  • Keep caps on all liquids
  • Follow all safety instructions on containers
  • Have the poison control hotline phone number at hand

Unfortunately, even if you act in a safe and responsible manner, you cannot control the actions of others. If a business or home owner fails to follow these steps, they may be putting all of their visitors in harm’s way.

The law requires premises owners and operators to keep their properties safe for all visitors. If they fail to do so, they should be held responsible for their carelessness.
