FAQs About Slip & Fall Accidents
How soon should I act after a slip and fall accident?
Act promptly to protect your rights. Texas generally gives you two years from the date of the accident to begin a legal claim. Acting quickly also helps secure evidence and strengthens your case.
What if I fell on business or public property?
Property owners and businesses must maintain a safe environment on their premises. If a hazardous condition caused your injury and the owner failed to fix it or provide a warning, you may have grounds to seek compensation under Texas law.
Do I need to prove the property owner knew about the hazard?
Yes. You generally need to show that the owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition. Things like witness statements or written reports can help support your claim.
Will my actions affect my ability to recover damages?
If you are found partly at fault, Texas uses a proportionate responsibility rule. Your percentage of fault can reduce your compensation, but as long as you are less than 51% responsible, you may still recover damages.
What damages can result from a successful slip and fall claim?
You may recover compensation for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering. The amount available depends on your specific injuries and how the accident impacts your life.
Our FAQ
-
Should I just take the money the insurance company offers me?
There are many cases in which this is the best course of action. For one, if you were not badly injured or weren’t injured at all and your car has minimal damage, you might not want or need to seek further damages, especially when that can take months. However, if an insurance company makes a low first offer, then you may want to consult an attorney who can give you an accurate estimate of the worth of your accident. If they refuse to offer more than an initial settlement and you need more than that to recover, an attorney at your side could help you get all that you need.
-
Why do I need to hire an attorney?
While there are many methods to receive compensation without an attorney, time and time again we find that insurance settlements offer far too little for our clients to recover and fighting a legal battle is often too complex for many people to take on themselves. If you had minimal damage to your car and were not hurt, then you probably don’t need an attorney. However, insurance companies and the responsible party will try many tactics when avoiding paying you for your suffering. With an experienced attorney, you can fight to receive every penny you need to recover.
-
How much is my case worth?
This question can be difficult to answer on a broad scale because of the absolutely unique nature of your accident. However, the types of compensation you can seek can be fairly similar, from case to case. For one, you can seek damages for any kind of medical bills you incurred, or lost wages from the time you had to spend away from work while recovering. If the accident left you unable to work, you can seek compensation for loss of future wages. If you foresee needing physical or emotional therapy, the estimated amount can also be sought. And there is more than just monetary losses: compensation for your emotional suffering and pain may be sought as well.
