Slip and fall accidents have long been satirized and often joked about in the media; however, a severe accident can cause agonizing pain and suffering. Anyone whose life has changed due to a terrible slip and fall accident should seek immediate guidance from an experienced Laredo premises liability lawyer.

Slip and fall accidents are not just prevalent in Laredo but across the United States, sending an average of 9 million people to emergency rooms annually. These accidents continue to perplex people when it comes to the law. Most people in Texas are uninformed that they may have a case because the laws are so stringent. Read on to learn more about slip and fall accidents and what a slip and fall firm in Laredo Texas can do for you.

What Constitutes a Slip and Fall Accident Under Texas Law?

When a person is injured as a result of a slip and fall, they may opt to bring a premises liability claim if a person is injured as a result of the negligence of another party, such as a property owner or company owner.

A premises liability claim can be establish if (1) the accident occurred in a public area such as a hallway, stairwell, walkway (2) the accident occurred on a property such as a building or shopping center, and (3) the accident occurred while the person was engaged in a reasonable activity such as walking, shopping, or working are all reasons for filing a slip and fall accident claim.

Can I File a Premises Liability Claim If I was Injured at a Family Member or Friend’s Home?

If you have been invited into a friend or family member's home, you are considered an invitee. From that point, they owe you a duty of safety when you enter their home. If you suffer a terrible injury, like a dog bite for example, you can file a claim against their insurance company. For this reason, every home and business in Laredo is obliged to obtain insurance. Having insurance protects the house or business owner from having to pay for the damages out of his or her own pocket.

What are Some Common Reasons People File a Slip and Fall Claim?

Although a slip/trip and fall accident can occur for countless reasons, the following are the most common.

  • Slippery floors
  • Frozen sidewalks or stairs
  • Uneven or loose flooring
  • Unmarked dangerous conditions
  • Obstruction of walkways or hallways
