Slip and fall accidents are a very common type of personal injury claim and can result in terrible injuries like broken bones. Although the Anderson Law Firm does handle some slip and fall cases, we are very selective in our choosing of these cases. The reason we don't represent every slip and fall case is because in the state of Texas, establishing liability for these types of cases is extremely difficult.

Establishing Liability in Texas Slip and Fall Cases


In Texas, slip and fall accidents fall under a broader category of cases known as "premises liability" cases. The term "premises liability" refers to a situation when a person is hurt on a property (premises) owned or maintained by someone else.

To win in a Texas premises liability or slip and fall case involving a dangerous condition, the owner or occupier of the premises must have known or should have known of the dangerous condition in order to impose liability on the owner or occupier. Only proving that there was a dangerous condition, like that there was water on the floor, is not enough to impose liability.

So if you slipped on a puddle at your favorite restaurant and broke your wrist, in order to win any compensation you must prove that the store "knew or should have known" about the wet condition on the floor and did not act upon such knowledge. Basically, you must prove how long the puddle was on the floor, that the restaurant knew the puddle was there and did nothing to clean it up.

To Win a Slip and Fall Case, You Need a Texas Board Certified Personal Injury Lawyer
