We can help you determine the liable party in your Garland slip and fall accident and pursue compensation for your resulting injuries. When negligence plays a part in a slip and fall, you have the right to make an insurance claim with the liable party’s insurer.
Additionally, if you cannot recover fair compensation from an insurance claim or if a settlement does not cover your losses well enough, we can help you file a personal injury lawsuit. Likewise, if you lost a loved one after a slip and fall, we can file a wrongful death claim or lawsuit.
Compensation a Liable Party May Owe You
After we calculate your damages, you may discover that you qualify for more compensation than you originally thought.
For example, if a slip and fall injury left you temporarily or permanently disabled, you can seek compensation for the losses these conditions will cause you down the road.
When we work on your case, we take into account both your economic and non-economic losses while also considering how your injuries affect your future.
You could secure:
Medical Costs
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), non-fatal slip and fall injuries for older adults result in $50 billion in medical costs each year.
Your settlement or court award may extend to hospital bills, rehabilitative care, medicine, doctors’ appointments, and in-home nursing.
We can also talk to your doctors to calculate what fair compensation would look like in your specific case.
Lost Wages and Reduced Earning Capacity
When you suffer a slip and fall, your injuries may prevent you from returning to work for some time. As a result, you may miss out on collecting wages.
Depending on the amount of time it will take for you to reach your maximum recovery state, you may go without your regular income for longer than you anticipated. Additionally, you may never make the same income you did before the accident.
We can pursue both forms of compensation related to your income losses.
Pain and Suffering
Non-economic damages refer to compensation for losses that do not come with set dollar amounts. Just because they do not create a bill does not mean you are barred from seeking compensation for them, though.
Pain and suffering is considered a non-economic expense. Your slip and fall accident lawyer may ask you to keep a daily journal to account for how your life has changed due to your injuries. This will help us establish your pain and suffering so we can seek fair compensation for it.
Burial and Funeral Expenses
In the worst slip and fall cases, you lose a loved one due to their injuries. If this happens, we can pursue compensation that will help you afford their funeral.
No amount of money can bring back a loved one, but compensation can take the weight of their burial expenses off your shoulders.

We Can Prove that a Property Owner Was Negligent
When it comes to premises liability cases in Texas, you will need to prove that the property owner knew about the risks on their property and failed to take action to address them.
You may not even be aware if you have a premises liability case, and that is something we can determine during your free consultation.
For example, if you tripped and fell in a parking lot, you may not have even considered the role that improper lighting played in your injury. Property owners have a responsibility to create a safe environment on their premises.
Examples of Hazards in Slip and Fall Accidents
In addition to inadequate lighting, one or more of the following dangers could have led to your fall:
- Potholes
- Unanchored carpeting or wooden planks
- Exposed wiring in a walkway
- Puddles or spills
- Newly-waxed floors
- Debris in a walkway
- Unsafe stairwells
