THE COMPLEXITIES OF PREMISES LIABILITY CASES

Proving Negligence After a Slip and Fall

Slip-and-fall claims require proving the property owner knew, or reasonably should have known, about a hazard and failed to fix it, warn about it, or address it within a reasonable time. Insurance companies and property managers routinely dispute liability, arguing the hazard was open and obvious or that you were partly at fault.

J.A. Davis & Associates has recovered damages for clients injured by wet floors, broken stairways, uneven walkways, and poor lighting across McAllen’s retail stores, apartment complexes, and public properties.

McAllen Slip and Fall FAQ

Texas law allows you to recover damages even if you were partially at fault, as long as you were less than 51% responsible.

We can often show they knew, or reasonably should have known, through inspection records, prior complaints, and how long the hazard existed.

Businesses carry liability insurance for exactly these situations, and we handle all communication with their insurer.

Texas generally allows two years from the date of the injury to file a premises liability claim — contact us right away to protect your rights.

Most premises liability cases settle out of court, but we prepare every case as if it will go to trial.

You can still pursue a claim, though reporting the incident and seeking medical care promptly strengthens your case.
