Frequently Asked Questions

What must I prove in a slip and fall case?

You must prove that the property owner knew or should have known about the hazardous condition, failed to address it or warn visitors, and that this negligence directly caused your injury.

How long do I have to file a slip and fall claim?

In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a premises liability claim.

What if I was trespassing when injured?

Property owners owe a minimal duty of care to trespassers, but there are exceptions, particularly for children (attractive nuisance doctrine). An attorney can evaluate your specific situation.
