Personal Injury
Slip and fall injuries in Houston
A fall is not clumsiness when the hazard was known and left there. We prove what the property owner knew, when they knew it, and what they chose not to fix.
Texas premises cases turn on a single question: did the owner know about the dangerous condition, or should they have, in time to do something about it? Stores answer that question with an incident report written by their own risk manager. We answer it with sweep logs, inspection records, prior complaints and the security footage — requested in writing within days, because retention policies routinely erase it in thirty.
The injuries are rarely minor. Hip and shoulder fractures, herniated discs and head trauma carry surgery, months of therapy and lasting limitation, and the insurer will argue every one of them was pre-existing. We build the medical record alongside the liability record so the two cannot be separated at trial.
Cases we handle
- Grocery, retail and restaurant floors — spills, leaking cases, freshly mopped aisles with no cone
- Apartment complexes and common areas — broken stair treads, missing handrails, unlit walkways
- Parking lots and garages — potholes, wheel stops, failed lighting
- Construction and industrial sites — open trenches, unmarked elevation changes, debris
- Falls caused by failed security or ignored maintenance requests

Investigation to verdict
How a case moves
Investigation
We move fast on the evidence: black-box data, driver logs, plant records, scene documentation and witnesses — preserved before it disappears.
Demand
A documented demand built on medical evidence and proven losses. Insurers respond to files that are ready for a courtroom, not letters that hope for one.
Litigation
Suit, discovery and depositions in Texas state or federal court. Every deadline is ours to hit; every deposition builds the trial record.
Trial
If the offer never matches the harm, we pick a jury. You decide whether to settle — at every stage, with the numbers in front of you.
No hedging
Questions
The store said I should have seen it. Does that end my case?
No. Texas reduces your recovery by your share of fault and bars it only if you were more than half responsible. "Open and obvious" is an argument the defence makes, not a rule that decides the case — and it gets weaker once the sweep logs show how long the hazard sat there.
I did not report it to the manager. Is it too late?
Not necessarily. An incident report helps, but it is not the only proof. Surveillance video, the witnesses who helped you up, your own photographs and the medical record all establish what happened. Call before the footage cycles.
How long do I have to file?
Two years from the fall in most Texas premises cases. A fall on government property can require formal notice within months, so the date check happens on the first call.
