League City Slip and Fall Accident Lawyer

If you’ve been hurt in a slip and fall accident in League City, you may be able to hold a negligent property owner liable for your losses. A League City slip and fall lawyer from Loncar Lyon Jenkins can help you weigh your legal options and navigate the complicated, often time-consuming insurance claims or lawsuit process. We will work on your behalf to recover the compensation you deserve.

How Can a League City Slip and Fall Attorney Help?

Slip and fall accidents are a leading cause of unintentional injury. If a fall could have been prevented had a League City property owner engaged in reasonable care, you can request compensation from an insurer or liable party. Slip and fall cases fall under the legal concept of premises liability.

Working with the slip and fall lawyers at Loncar Lyon Jenkins ensures you have a legal professional looking out for your interests. Our slip and fall attorneys handle these cases regularly, so we know how to go about proving negligence in your accident. In addition, our League City slip and fall attorney can help you in the following ways:

The property owner may attempt to blame you for your fall and related injuries, which could mitigate your financial recovery. Our slip and fall lawyers can gather evidence to prove the owner’s negligence.

You may not know how to calculate the total value of your League City slip and fall injury claim or lawsuit. A slip and fall attorney can assess your damages and estimate what your case is worth.

More than one party may have been negligent and contributed to your accident and, therefore, would be financially responsible for your injuries. We will identify all liable parties.

We can deal with an insurance company for you and negotiate with its representatives on your behalf.

In general, our primary objectives are to:

  • Determine the cause of your accident
  • Identify who is liable for the accident
  • Demand compensation from any party who contributed to your injuries

When proving liability, it is typically necessary to show the defendant’s negligence caused your accident. 

This requires us to establish the following:

  • The property’s owner owed you a duty of care and breached or violated that duty, possibly because of a hazard or obstacle on their property.
  • The property owner’s violation directly caused your injury (injuries).
  • You incurred verifiable damages because of your accident-related injuries.

The guidance and patience exhibited by Attorney LaRue and his team were paramount in the successful navigation of this event for my family and I. In a perfect world I won't have to ring his phone anytime soon, but should the Truck of Life dump on me again, I wouldn't hesitate to dial them up.

What Types Of Compensation Can I Recover After a Slip and Fall Accident?

You shouldn’t underestimate the potential long-term costs of injuries related to a slip and fall accident. You might require extensive treatment and, at the same time, be forced to take time off work. The resulting trauma can also profoundly affect you psychologically and hinder you from engaging in activities you enjoyed.

You risk not receiving the money you deserve if you try to estimate the value of your injury claim on your own. Our slip and fall lawyers will seek compensation on your behalf, including but not limited to your:

  • Medical bills, including emergency care, hospital stay, doctor’s visits, rehab, prescription drugs, etc.
  • Lost income
  • Diminished earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Scarring and disfigurement
  • Long-term or permanent disability
  • Loss of life enjoyment
  • Loss of consortium

What is the Statute of Limitations in Texas?

Texas limits your time to sue over your slip and fall injuries. Aside from any exceptions that may apply, you have just two years from your accident’s date to initiate a lawsuit, per Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003. Once this period passes, the court will likely dismiss attempts to seek compensation.

Please don’t let your legal right to compensation expire. Instead, we encourage you to promptly contact our League City slip and fall lawyers after your accident to ensure you can pursue your injury case.
