Premises Liability is when the “slip, trip and/or fall” occurs on the property of a third-party, not your own property. That third party has to be negligent, a legal term that essentially means your accident occurred due to an unsafe condition. Unsafe conditions vary, but do include things such as a carelessly or dangerously placed object, a surface that is defective or deteriorated, or a wet or slippery surface.

With accidents, the most common amputations involve the hands and fingers. Among Americans, 61,000 experienced the loss of one or more fingers. Upper limb amputations are more closely connected with accidents while lower limb loss occurs more frequently with vascular disease issues. In work-related accidents, the right arm is involved more frequently than the left.
If I slip and fall at a store can I receive compensation?
It depends. Before filing of a lawsuit, you may or may not receive compensation. It is all dependent on the premises owner’s insurance company. After filing of a lawsuit, it is dependent on the jury if the case does not get settled at mediation.
How long will my case last?
Slip and Falls are hard cases to litigate in the State of Texas. For that reason, initially and pre-suit, your case may get denied. If you case is denied, it may require a lawsuit to make any recovery. A case in litigation generally lasts at least a year and half before a resolution is achieved.
What proof do I need to provide?
It is very important to provide proof of how long the dangerous substance was on the floor of the premises. Photos of the site in question, shoes and clothes you were wearing at the time of fall, medical records of your injuries, incident report from the premises owner are all pertinent to proving your case.
How long after the incident can I file suit?
