Proving Fault in Texas

We show the owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to fix it or warn visitors. Photos, incident reports, cleaning schedules, and surveillance are important, along with medical records that document injuries. If the fall happened at a worksite controlled by another company, our team coordinates with construction and industrial accidents to explore additional claims against third parties.


We also explain comparative fault in clear terms so you understand how the facts may affect recovery and how we counter common defenses.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What if the store cleaned the spill right after my fall?

    Cleanup does not erase responsibility. We look at inspection policies, when staff last checked the area, and whether warnings were used.

  • I did not file an incident report. Do I still have a claim?

    Yes. Reports help, but they are not required. Prompt medical care and photos of the hazard and your footwear can be just as useful.

  • Do my shoes matter?

    They can. Keep the shoes you wore and avoid using them until we document them. Tread and wear patterns counter common defenses.

  • What damages can I recover?

    Medical bills, wage loss, future care, and pain and suffering are common categories. Severe injuries may involve long-term limitations or scarring.
