Slip and Fall

A slip and fall injury lawyer who fights for clients

A common premises liability claim begins with a "slip and fall" accident, which describes when someone slips, trips or falls and is injured on another person's property. In Texas, we have seen people injured because of someone else's negligence while shopping at a big department store like Wal-Mart, or while visiting small hardware stores. Accidents can happen anywhere when managers, employees and others are negligent.

In some cases, landlords or homeowners may be negligent if a visitor or tenant slips and falls on their property. The landlord or homeowner may be responsible if they failed to repair broken stairs or fix ruts in a parking lot. Injuries may be serious, ranging from a broken bone or fracture that causes the victim to miss work to a traumatic brain injury that can change the victim's life forever.
