Slip & Fall Attorney Serving Corpus Christi, McAllen, Brownsville and Harlingen
Handling Slip & Fall Accidents in South Texas
Slip and fall accidents, also encompassing trip and fall accidents, involve someone slipping or falling on something slippery or wet on the ground, or tripping over something on the ground. These are common accidents in South Texas and can occur anywhere. However, when they occur at the premises of another and you are injured in the accident, you may be able to pursue a claim if there was negligence on the part of the premises owner.
Examples of slip and fall accidents can be someone slipping on a wet floor in a bathroom, where the employees failed to put up a wet floor sign. Another example could be tripping over boxes or supplies in an aisle way due to the store not properly keeping a clear path for customers to navigate. It can even occur that someone trips in a parking lot due to extremely poor maintenance of the grounds, resulting in cracked and uneven pavement that should have been maintained.
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a slip or trip and fall accident, contacting a personal injury attorney is best to find out what your legal options may be. It is important to document this type of an accident carefully, as the cause of the slip or trip can be fixed or removed and your claim questioned at a later date. Our experienced attorneys from the Malaise Law Firm can assist you in investigating who the negligent party might be and pursuing a claim for any damages you may have suffered.
Slip and Fall Claims
A business owner is expected to properly maintain their premises so that their customers can safely use them. Whenever a situation exists where this has clearly not been followed, negligence may be able to be proven. Because slip and fall accidents lead to serious injuries, such as neck and back injuries, head injuries and fractures, it is important to pursue compensation for any medical bills or lost wages you might suffer as a result.
