Determining liability in Texas slip and fall cases.
Any company that opens its property to the public is required by Texas law to ensure that their property is in safe condition. These owners have a duty of care to anyone who is legally on the property. If they don’t fulfill this duty by neglecting to make repairs, not posting warnings or via other means, then they may be held liable.

Causes of slip and fall accidents.
One of the most common places people slip and fall is on public walkways, but this can happen anywhere. From a restaurant to a mall, from a driveway to a job site, there is no end to potential locations for these types of injuries. They can be caused by some things that are out of the control of the property owner, such as ice or rain. However, they are more commonly caused by something that’s within the control of the owner of the property, such as:
- Fallen merchandise
- Lack of handrails
- Food spills
- Poor lighting conditions
- Unsafe stairs
If you are injured on someone else’s property then you may be able to claim damages, such as:
- Medical costs
- Rehab costs
- Lost earnings
- Lost benefits
- Costs associated with household help you require
These are just some examples. If you have been injured in another way, suffered another injury or suffered other damages, I can still help you. Contact Greg Jackson Law at (817) 926-1003 to begin the process.
