Fort Worth Slip and Fall Accident Lawyer
Standing with you after a fall that changed everything
A slip or trip and fall can cause serious injuries in an instant. Broken bones, head injuries, and spine damage are common, and the bills and time off work add up quickly. We understand how overwhelming this is. Our job is to listen, explain your options in plain language, and fight for the full compensation you need to heal and move forward.
Why slip and fall cases are different
Texas premises liability law focuses on what the property owner or business knew or should have known about a dangerous condition and whether they took reasonable steps to fix it or warn you. Proving that knowledge and the time the hazard existed can make or break a case. That is why quick action to preserve evidence matters so much.
The Texas Supreme Court has now said that to be able to recover from a premises owner for a condition on their property that caused you to fall the condition has to found to be not only “dangerous” but you have to prove the condition was “unreasonably dangerous”. The Court has held that simple things like water or a spilled coke on the floor may be considered dangerous, but they are not considered “unreasonably dangerous”. So the Courts can now throw out a Plaintiff’s case on a whim by merely making a determination that a condition is dangerous versus actually unreasonably dangerous. This is why you must hire an Attorney to handle your slip and fall.
We regularly handle falls in grocery stores, big box retailers, restaurants, apartment complexes, hotels, parking lots, sidewalks, offices, and job sites across Fort Worth and Tarrant County.
Common causes we see in North Texas
- Wet or greasy floors without timely cleanup or warning
- Tripping hazards such as loose mats, cords, broken tiles, or uneven flooring
- Poor lighting that hides hazards on stairs and in parking areas
- Potholes, cracks, and elevation changes on sidewalks and lots
- Leaks from refrigeration units or roofs that create recurring hazards
- Construction debris and unsafe work areas
If your fall happened another way, call us. We will look at how the law applies to your situation.
Injuries we often see after a fall
- Traumatic brain injuries and concussions
- Neck and back injuries including herniated discs
- Hip, wrist, shoulder, and ankle fractures
- Knee injuries including meniscus and ligament tears
- Internal injuries and severe bruising
- Chronic pain, loss of mobility, and loss of independence
How we prove your slip and fall case
We move quickly to secure the proof businesses often control:
-
Video and incident records: Store surveillance, body cam, incident reports, maintenance and “sweep” logs, and cleanup records.
- Scene evidence: Photos and measurements of the hazard, lighting levels, warning cones or lack of signage, and the path you took.
- Witnesses: Employees and customers who saw the hazard or prior complaints.
- Recurring conditions: Prior leaks, reports, work orders, and inspection failures that show the business knew about the danger.
- Footwear and medical proof: We preserve your shoes, document your injuries, and coordinate with treating doctors and experts.
- Experts when needed: Safety engineers, human-factors specialists, and building code experts to explain why the property was unsafe.
What your compensation can cover
- Emergency care, hospital bills, surgery, rehabilitation, therapy, and medications
- Future medical needs and mobility aids or home modifications
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life
- Mental anguish and anxiety related to the fall
- Scarring, disfigurement, and disability
- Wrongful death damages for families in fatal cases
We do not accept quick offers that ignore long-term needs. We fight for every dollar your future requires.
What to do after a slip or trip and fall
- Get medical care now. Some injuries do not show symptoms right away.
- Report the incident. Ask the business or property manager to create an incident report and request a copy.
- Document the scene. Take photos of the hazard, your clothes and shoes, and any visible injuries.
- Identify witnesses. Get names and contact information for employees and customers who saw what happened.
- Preserve your shoes and clothing. Do not wash or alter them. They can be important evidence.
- Do not give a recorded statement to the insurance company before speaking with us.
- Call us quickly. Video is often overwritten within days, and hazards get repaired. Early action protects your claim.
