Dallas Slip and Fall Lawyers

A serious slip and fall accident can change your life in seconds. When a property owner fails to correct dangerous conditions or warn visitors about known hazards, the resulting injuries are often severe—especially for older adults, workers, and anyone struck with sudden, violent force.

At Crain Brogdon, LLP, our Dallas slip and fall injury lawyers represent individuals who have suffered catastrophic injuries in slip and fall accidents caused by unsafe premises. These cases are not about minor bruises or temporary pain. They involve traumatic injuries, permanent disability, and long-term consequences that demand serious legal advocacy.

If you or a loved one was seriously injured in a slip and fall accident in Dallas, you deserve a legal team that understands the complexity of premises liability law and is prepared to hold negligent property owners accountable.

Why Choose Crain Brogdon for Your Premises Liability Claim

This careful, methodical approach allows us to build clear, evidence-based arguments that withstand scrutiny and counter common defense tactics.

How Slip and Fall Accidents Can Cause Catastrophic Injuries

Slip and fall accidents are often dismissed as minor incidents, but the reality is very different. Falls are a leading cause of traumatic injury, particularly when they occur on hard surfaces, stairs, uneven walkways, or elevated areas.

Catastrophic injuries commonly associated with serious slip and fall accidents include:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Hip fractures and complex orthopedic injuries
• Internal organ damage
• Permanent mobility loss or chronic pain

Many victims require surgery, extended rehabilitation, or long-term care. Some are never able to return to work or live independently again. When the injuries are this severe, the quality of your legal representation must reflect the seriousness of the harm suffered.

Understanding Premises Liability in Texas

Slip and fall claims fall under Texas premises liability law. Property owners and occupiers have a legal duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions for people who enter their property.

This duty may apply to:

• Commercial property owners
• Businesses and retailers
• Apartment complexes and landlords
• Hotels and resorts
• Property management companies
• Government or public entities

When a property owner fails to fix a dangerous condition or provide adequate warning, and that failure leads to serious injury, they may be held legally responsible.

What are the Common Causes of Serious Slip and Fall Accidents?

Slip and fall accidents can result from many different hazardous conditions. In catastrophic injury cases, the danger often existed long enough that it should have been discovered and corrected.

Common causes include:

• Wet or slippery floors without warning signs
• Uneven flooring, loose tiles, or broken pavement
• Poor lighting in stairwells or walkways
• Unsafe staircases or missing handrails
• Spills or debris left unattended
• Ice, water, or other hazards in entryways

Our slip and fall team investigates how long the hazard existed, whether the property owner knew or should have known about it, and what steps—if any—were taken to prevent injury.

Why Slip and Fall Cases Are Legally Challenging

Slip and fall cases are often aggressively contested. Property owners and insurers frequently attempt to minimize or deny claims by arguing that the injured person was careless or that the hazard was “open and obvious,” which is a common legal defense.

Some of the other common defenses include:

• Claiming the injured person was not paying attention
• Arguing that the hazard existed for too short a time to address
• Disputing the severity of the injuries
• Shifting blame onto the injured person’s footwear or personal behavior

In catastrophic injury cases, these arguments can have serious financial consequences. Our skilled slip and fall attorneys approach premises liability litigation with the understanding that these cases must be built carefully, supported by evidence, and prepared for trial.

How We Prove Liability in a Catastrophic Slip and Fall Case

To succeed in a premises liability claim, we must show that the property owner’s negligence caused the injury. This often requires detailed investigation and documentation.

Evidence may include:

• Surveillance footage
• Incident reports and maintenance records
• Witness statements
• Photographs of the hazard
• Expert analysis regarding safety standards

Our team works quickly to preserve evidence and develop a clear narrative that demonstrates how the dangerous condition caused the catastrophic harm.

What Compensation is Available After a Serious Slip and Fall Injury?

A catastrophic slip and fall injury can create significant long-term financial strain for the injured individual and their family. Compensation may be available for both current and future losses, including:

• Emergency medical treatment and hospitalization
• Surgical procedures and rehabilitation
• Long-term medical care and therapy
• Lost income and reduced earning capacity
• Pain, suffering, and diminished quality of life

In cases involving permanent disability or fatal injuries, damages may also address lifelong care needs or wrongful death losses. Our focus is on securing compensation that reflects the full scope of the harm—not just immediate expenses.

Our Trial-Focused Approach to Premises Liability Litigation

Insurance companies evaluate claims based on the financial risk associated with them. Law firms that routinely settle cases early are treated differently from firms that are prepared to litigate.

Crain Brogdon is known for its trial experience and willingness to pursue cases through the courtroom when necessary. Every slip and fall case is developed with litigation in mind, which helps us strengthen our client’s negotiating position and ensures accountability.

When the injuries are catastrophic, we don’t give up easily, and we’ll fight for as long as it takes to secure a fair outcome.

Serving Seriously Injured Clients in Dallas and Across Texas

The slip and fall lawyers at Crain Brogdon represent accident victims throughout Dallas and surrounding communities. While the firm handles complex cases on a broader scale, it remains deeply committed to advocating for individuals harmed by unsafe properties in Texas.

Clients turn to Crain Brogdon when their injuries are severe, the legal issues are complex, and the outcome will affect the rest of their lives. We provide clear guidance, steady communication, and focused advocacy from start to finish.

What to Do After a Serious Slip and Fall Accident

If you or a loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury in a slip and fall accident, taking prompt action can help protect your legal rights.

Whenever possible, you should:

• Seek immediate medical attention even if you believe your injuries are minor
• Report the incident to the property owner or manager
• Document the scene with photographs or video
• Obtain contact information for witnesses
• Avoid giving recorded statements to insurers or accepting a settlement offer without speaking to legal counsel first

Early involvement by our experienced premises liability team enables us to preserve critical evidence before it disappears. We can also shield you from aggressive insurance adjusters who may try to encourage you to accept a quick settlement that will not cover all of your accident-related expenses.

Frequently Asked Questions About Texas Slip and Fall Injury Claims

How long do I have to file a slip and fall lawsuit in Texas?

In most cases, Texas statutes of limitations require slip and fall lawsuits to be filed within two years of the date of injury. Some claims involving government-owned property may have much shorter deadlines.

What if the property owner says the hazard was obvious?

Property owners often argue that a danger was open and obvious. Whether that defense applies depends on the specific facts of the case, including visibility, lighting, and whether warnings were provided. We conduct thorough investigations to gather evidence that counters this argument.

Can I recover compensation if I was partly at fault?

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. You may still recover compensation if you were less than 51% responsible for the accident, though your recovery may be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you.

Are slip and fall cases difficult to win?

Slip and fall cases can be challenging, particularly when insurers dispute liability. Catastrophic injury cases require thorough investigation, strong evidence, and experienced legal advocacy, which our team provides.

What Happens If My Slip and Fall Happened at Work?

A workplace accident involving a slip and fall can be confusing to those unfamiliar with civil law. If you fall at work, you may be eligible to file a work injury claim and receive compensation from your employer. 

However, claims arising from slip-and-fall accidents at work are not always straightforward. Hiring an attorney to protect your best interests can reduce unnecessary stress and allow you to focus on your recovery while we fight for your rights.

Will my case go to trial?

Most premises liability cases settle, while others proceed to trial. The dedicated slip and fall lawyers at Crain Brogdon prepare every case as though it will go to trial, ensuring clients are positioned for the strongest possible outcome throughout the litigation.
