Property owners and businesses have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. When they don’t — an unmarked wet floor, a broken step, poor lighting, an unaddressed fire hazard — and someone gets hurt as a result, that’s negligence. We handle slip and fall, trip and fall, fire-related injuries, and general negligence claims across South Texas, working to hold property owners and businesses accountable for injuries that should never have happened.
We handle: slip & fall accidents, trip & fall accidents, fire accidents, and general negligence claims.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prove a slip-and-fall claim in Texas?
You generally need to show that a hazardous condition existed, that the property owner knew or reasonably should have known about it, and that they failed to fix it or warn you within a reasonable time. Photos of the hazard, witness statements, and prompt medical treatment all strengthen a claim.
What if I was partly at fault for my own fall?
Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule: you can still recover compensation as long as you're found less than 51% responsible for the accident, though your recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault. An attorney can help assess how fault is likely to be allocated in your specific case.
