Need A Houston Slip and Fall Lawyer?
A slip and fall accident claim falls under premises liability law in Texas. Businesses and property owners owe certain legal duties to customers and other invitees. When a person slips and falls due to an unreasonably dangerous safety hazard, the property owner or property occupier may be held legally liable for the accident. In Texas, businesses and property owners are not automatically responsible for a slip and fall accident. You must prove that your accident happened due to negligence. Some examples of slipping and tripping hazards include:
- Improperly or unmarked wet/slippery floors;
- An uncleaned leak or uncleaned spills;
- Broken or otherwise damage flooring;
- Tattered rugs or carpeting;
- Loose cords in walking areas;
- Random debris in unsafe conditions;
- Hazards on exterior walkways; and
- Lack of adequate lighting, especially in staircases.
You need immediate medical attention after a serious slip and fall accident. From there, all slip and fall accidents in Southeast Texas require a thorough investigation to determine exactly what happened—including what the business/property owner did and did not do to protect the safety of guests. Our Houston slip and fall accident lawyer will conduct a proactive investigation to ensure you have access to the evidence you need to get justice.
