Slip And Falls

Have You Suffered A Slip And Fall Due To The Negligence Of An Employer Or Property Owner?

When you’re at work, a store or a restaurant, you trust that your employer, the business proprietor, or property owner has taken all reasonable steps to ensure the safety of the premises. Unfortunately, in many instances, that trust isn’t warranted.

When someone’s negligence or failure to act regarding the safety of their premises causes your injury, you fall prey to many consequences that rob you of the security you take for granted:

• Debilitating injuries and the exorbitant medical bills that accompany them
• Physical and emotional pain and suffering
• Lengthy treatment and recovery that disrupt every aspect of your life
• Proving liability and your entitlement to compensation
• Lost wages and risk of dismissal from employment
• Dealing with adversarial insurance companies whose goal is to minimize your claim

When your medical and financial well-being are threatened by the fallout from a slip-and-fall accident, you need trusted guidance to navigate a complex legal landscape.

What If You Were Partially At Fault For Your Slip And Fall?

As a plaintiff or injured party in Texas, you must prove it was more likely than not that:

• The premises in question harbored a condition that presented an unreasonable risk of harm
• The responsible party knew or ought to have known of the risk
• The responsible party failed to exercise reasonable care in reducing or eliminating the risk
• The failure to exercise reasonable care was the immediate and direct cause of your injury

In Texas, if you are partially at fault for a slip-and-fall accident, the state's modified proportionate responsibility rule applies. Under that rule, if a judge or jury deems you 51% or more responsible for your injury, you are barred from recovering any compensation.

However, if your responsibility is deemed to be 50% or less, you can recover but at a reduced rate equal to the percentage of fault assigned to you. For example, if a jury found you 30% responsible for your accident, your ultimate recovery would likewise be reduced by 30%.

Proving fault is such a crucial aspect of financial recovery in your slip and fall claim. That’s why having a highly qualified slip and fall accident lawyer who understands the complexities of Texas’s personal injury laws is the best way to protect your rights and secure the compensation you deserve.
