Slip and fall accidents may seem minor at first, but they can lead to serious injuries, overwhelming medical bills, and lasting pain. These accidents are often caused by dangerous property conditions—such as slippery floors, poor lighting, or broken walkways—that should have been fixed by the property owner. When businesses or landlords fail to keep their property safe, innocent people pay the price.

Common causes of slip and fall accidents
Property owners have a duty to provide safe conditions for visitors. When they neglect repairs, fail to warn about hazards, or ignore safety standards, serious accidents happen. Below are some of the most common causes of slip and fall injuries:
Spills, freshly mopped surfaces, or leaks that aren’t cleaned up can quickly cause a dangerous fall.
Damaged pavement or uneven flooring creates tripping hazards, especially in parking lots, shopping centers, or apartment complexes.
Dimly lit stairwells, hallways, and parking areas make it difficult for visitors to see hazards, increasing the risk of accidents.
Boxes, cords, or other obstructions left in walkways put visitors in harm’s way and often lead to falls.
Unsafe staircases and missing handrails make falls more likely and more dangerous when they happen.
Your Right to Compensation After a Slip and Fall
Victims of slip and fall accidents may face a long recovery, high medical costs, and time away from work. Texas law gives you the right to hold negligent property owners accountable. Compensation may include:
Emergency medical care and hospital bills
Ongoing rehabilitation and physical therapy
Lost wages and reduced earning ability
Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
Long-term disability or disfigurement
At Carabin Law, we investigate every detail of your case—from photographs of the accident scene to witness statements and maintenance records—to prove negligence and maximize your recovery.
Texas Slip and Fall Laws:
Understanding Your Rights
Slip and fall cases in Texas fall under premises liability law, which requires property owners to keep their spaces safe for visitors. If an owner or manager fails to address dangerous conditions and someone gets hurt, they can be held legally responsible. Still, these cases are rarely simple. Texas law places the burden of proof on the injured person, meaning you must show that the property owner acted negligently.
To pursue compensation in a slip and fall claim, you and your attorney must establish the following:
The property owner or manager had a legal obligation to maintain safe conditions for visitors.
They failed to correct or warn about a dangerous hazard, such as a wet floor, broken step, or poor lighting.
The unsafe condition directly caused your slip, fall, and resulting injuries.
You experienced real harm, including medical expenses, lost wages, or pain and suffering, as a result of the fall.
Because proving negligence can be challenging, working with an experienced San Antonio slip and fall attorney at Carabin Law can make all the difference. Our team understands Texas premises liability laws and will fight to hold negligent property owners accountable.
