Understanding Slip-and-Fall Accidents

How Unsafe Conditions Can Change Your Life

A slip-and-fall accident involves more than tripping or stubbing your toe. These accidents are tragic when they result in severe or permanent injuries. Sadly, some slip-and-fall accidents result in death.

A slip-and-fall accident involving negligence is frustrating and upsetting. Another person’s negligence that causes you to lose your footing can result in life-altering harm. Negligence is never acceptable and almost always preventable.

The following examples include common causes of slip-and-fall accidents caused by careless property owners:

  • Wet floors
  • Torn carpet
  • Poor lighting
  • Cords across walkways
  • Stairs with no handrail.

These conditions can exist in various locations, such as parking lots, restaurants, stores, and job sites. However, the results are generally devastating for victims no matter where they happen.

Our team at Crain Brogdon, LLP, will be with you throughout the claims process and make decisions in your best interests.

A slip-and-fall accident can result in one or more of the following injuries:

Any of these injuries can prevent you from returning to work for a long time — if ever. Medical bills begin to mount almost immediately. An injury to the spinal cord can cost millions of dollars throughout a victim’s lifetime. Unfortunately, this is one example of how financial stress rarely disappears.

The financial impact, in addition to your physical, emotional, and psychological harm, can devastate you. Accountability is a must when these changes to your quality of life result from negligence. Our Dallas slip-and-fall injury lawyer can help you fight for compensation and get justice for your damages.

A free case consultation can help you learn whether you have a case and, if so, how to proceed. The harmful effects of a slip-and-fall accident can last forever. Hold those responsible accountable with help from Crain Brogdon, LLP.

Dallas Slip-and-Fall Lawyers FAQs

Our clients who suffer slip-and-fall accident injuries often have questions about the claims process and compensation. Below, our Dallas-based and nationally recognized slip-and-fall lawyers answer some frequently asked questions.

How Much Does a Slip-and-Fall Lawyer Cost?

At Crain Brogdon, LLP, we work on a contingency fee basis. You pay our legal fees if and when we win your case. If, for some reason, we do not win, you owe us no legal fees. Also, we only take a percentage of the amount awarded as compensation, usually from 33% to 40%, and we agree on the percentage when you decide to hire us.

How Long Does Receiving Compensation from a Slip-and-Fall Case Take?

The time involved depends on whether your case settles out of court or goes to trial. Patience is imperative for accident victims awaiting the outcome of their civil case. If your case does not go to trial, you can get compensation within weeks or months, but if it does, it could take up to two years or more. This is because litigation cases are subject to the court’s schedule.

How Much Money Can I Receive as Compensation?

There is no way to know how much money you may receive. Compensation is never promised or guaranteed, but it is worth fighting for. However, your compensation greatly depends on several factors, including but not limited to the severity of your injury, how much you spent on treatment, the amount of lost wages, the need for future medical care, etc.

Can I Sue If My Loved One Dies Due to a Slip-and-Fall Injury?

Yes. If your loved one dies due to a slip-and-fall injury, you may want to file a wrongful death case. You must be a close family member of the decedent, such as their spouse, parent, or child. If you do not meet these criteria, you will have no legal standing to file a wrongful death lawsuit.

What Happens If My Slip and Fall Happen at Work?

A workplace accident involving a slip and fall confuses those unfamiliar with civil law. If you slip and fall at work, you may be eligible to file a work injury claim and receive compensation from your employer. But claims arising from slip-and-fall accidents at work are not always straightforward. Hiring an attorney to protect your best interests can relieve you of extra and unneeded stress.

How Do I Take Legal Action in a Slip-and-Fall Case?

Contacting a slip-and-fall attorney as soon as possible for a free case consultation is your first step. Your attorney will fight for compensation by negotiating a settlement and proceeding to trial if necessary. It also helps to get and preserve evidence of what caused you to slip and fall, as it comes in handy when pursuing compensation.

How Long Do I Have to Pursue Compensation?

Under Texas law, the statute of limitations for slip-and-fall accidents is two years. The time starts counting from the date the accident happened, and if you fail to file a compensation claim within this time, you will be statute-barred from any legal action.

What If the Insurance Company Blames Me for My Injuries?

It is not uncommon for insurance companies to blame victims for their injuries, so you should refrain from speaking with insurance company representatives. Instead, refer them to your lawyer. Never admit fault or give in to pressure to accept an unfair settlement. If you accept the settlement offered by the insurance company, you cannot return to ask for more if it cannot cover your medical bills and other losses.

A slip-and-fall accident is a frightening event that happens in a second. The aftermath can leave you with questions about what to do next. During our free initial consultation, you can ask your legal questions and seek clarification on anything you do not understand. We will carefully explain it to you until all your questions are answered.

How Crain Brogdon, LLP, Can Help You

At Crain Brogdon, we waste no time getting to work on behalf of accident victims. From investigating the accident to identifying all parties responsible, we hit the ground running.

Our Dallas slip-and-fall lawyer will investigate your accident to determine what the property owner knew and when they knew it. We will then build a case to hold the property owner accountable for your damages.

Accepting an invitation to visit a new store or dine at a restaurant should not result in severe injuries. You accept the invitation, assuming the property is safe and you are free from harm.

Our Dallas slip-and-fall attorney will work to prove that:

  • A hazard existed on the property.
  • The property owner knew about the hazard but failed to repair or remove the danger.
  • The hazard existed so long that the property owner should have known about it.
  • The property owner owed you a duty of care and breached that duty.

Supplying your lawyer with as much evidence as possible is how you can help your case. Accident scene photos and medical reports are just two examples of vital evidence.

Time is of the essence due to the statute of limitations. If you suffered severe injuries due to a slip-and-fall accident or lost a loved one, seek help from our slip-and-fall lawyer today. Contact Crain Brogdon, LLP, immediately if you suffered severe injuries due to a preventable slip-and-fall accident.
