What to Expect in a Laredo Slip and Fall Premises Liability Claim

We've all watched humorous TV scenes where an innocent customer trips and falls while shopping, prompting outrage on the victim's part and the words, "I'm going to sue!" Oftentimes, the customer is portrayed as avaricious. But the truth is, scenes like this in the media create a negative stigma around personal injury claims involving slip and falls accidents.

Accidents involving a slip and fall can occur at any time, leaving victims with escalating medical bills and injuries, which is no joke. Understanding the premises liability claim procedure is essential if you want to recover damages after a slip and fall accident in Laredo, Texas. The guidance of a Laredo premises liability attorney can help you understand the legal process and maximize your chances of recovering compensation.

In Texas, a premises liability claim is made when someone is hurt as a result of a flaw on someone else's property. Any person who has authority over the property at the time of the accident or the claim's filing can be held accountable. The injured party must demonstrate, in order to succeed in a premises liability action, that the defendant was required to employ reasonable care, that duty was breached, and that the failure resulted in the injury.
