A slip and fall accident can cause serious injuries, from broken bones and torn ligaments to traumatic brain injuries and spinal damage. Under Texas premises liability law, owners and occupiers can be held responsible when they knew or should have known about an unreasonably dangerous condition on their property and failed to make it reasonably safe or warn about it.
These cases arise across North Texas every day, at grocery stores and big-box retailers, apartment complexes and restaurants, office buildings, parking lots, and sidewalks. Property owners and their insurers often fight hard, arguing the hazard was obvious, that you were not paying attention, or that they lacked enough notice to act. The Injury Avengers investigate the condition, document what the owner knew, and build the evidence to counter those defenses.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to prove in a slip and fall case?
In a typical Texas slip and fall case, you generally have to show that the owner or occupier knew or should have known about the dangerous condition, that the condition posed an unreasonable risk of harm, that they failed to use reasonable care to fix it or warn about it, and that their failure caused your injury. In some cases, the legal duty can also depend on why you were on the property. We evaluate those issues early and build the strongest theory available.
What should I do immediately after a slip and fall?
Report the incident to the property owner or manager immediately. Photograph the hazard and your injuries, get witness names, and seek medical attention even if you feel okay. Do not give a statement to the property owner's insurer before calling a slip and fall lawyer.
Can I still recover if I was partially at fault?
Yes. Under Texas comparative fault rules, you can recover damages as long as you are 50% or less responsible. Your award is reduced by your share of fault, but you do not lose your claim. We work to minimize any blame placed on you.
What if I fell on city or government property?
Claims involving government-owned property can have much shorter deadlines than standard personal injury cases, and special notice requirements may apply before you can sue. Missing those deadlines can bar your claim entirely. If your fall happened on city, county, or other government property, contact us immediately.
How long do I have to file a slip and fall lawsuit in Texas?
Texas generally gives you two years from the date of the fall to file suit. Waiting can seriously hurt your case. Surveillance footage is often overwritten within days, witnesses' memories fade, and incident reports become harder to obtain. The sooner you contact an attorney, the better positioned your case will be.
