Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere and on any type of surface. They are more likely to happen on surfaces that are wet, icy, or poorly maintained. Many slip and fall accidents are preventable if the person or entity in charge of the property maintains it appropriately. If the property is not properly maintained, the owner could be liable if someone is injured.

Immediately after the accident, if you can, try to gather evidence from the scene. This includes photos of what caused the accident and your injuries like, for instance, unrepaired property damage or poor lighting in a parking lot.

If you or a loved one suffered harm from a slip and fall accident, you could potentially recover damages. If you prove the property owner’s negligence caused your injuries, you could recover economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages are justified monetary losses that have a receipt of documentation to prove the value of the losses. Economic damages you could be entitled to in a slip and fall case include:
Non-economic damages are subjective losses that are not associated with an exact monetary loss. They are designed to compensate accident victims for the physical and emotional pain they endured because of their injuries. Non-economic damages you could recover include:
To recover damages in Texas, you must file a lawsuit before the statute of limitations runs out. According to Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003, you have two years from the accident date to file a lawsuit. Contacting an attorney soon after the accident will give us time to prepare a solid case strategy.
Many people who have suffered an injury feel they cannot afford legal representation. That fear keeps them from pursuing the compensation they are owed.

You will leave the consultation knowing your legal rights as an injured client and having your questions answered.
Our slip and fall injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means we do not charge for our services unless we help you recover compensation. If you do not receive monetary compensation, you do not have to pay for our legal services.
Many slip and fall accidents occur because of property owner negligence. Examples of hazardous conditions on a property that could cause a slip and fall accident include:
These kinds of dangers apply to both private and public venues. Building managers are required to maintain safe conditions on their properties according to state and federal building codes. Failure to do so can lead to many types of accidents and a wide variety of injuries.
