Dickinson Slip and Fall Lawyer

Although falls are common accidents, they aren’t necessarily minor ones. An accidental fall can cause serious injuries that can greatly impact your life. If someone else was to blame for your accident, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

You need the help of an experienced Dickinson slip and fall lawyer to present the most effective legal case possible. The insurance company involved in your case may use aggressive tactics to try to save money. If you decide to hire our skilled attorneys, we will fight hard to protect your legal rights.

Common Locations for a Slip and Fall Accident

Our Dickinson lawyers have considerable experience in handling cases involving accidental falls that occur in areas with high foot traffic or poor maintenance. These locations include:

• Grocery stores and supermarkets (such as H-E-B and Walmart) where spills and wet floors are common
• Restaurants and fast-food outlets (such as Raising Cane’s and Wendy’s) with slippery entryways or greasy kitchen floors
• Retail stores and shopping centers (such as Dickinson Crossing) where clutter and uneven flooring can pose hazards
• Apartment complexes and residential properties with poorly maintained sidewalks or stairwells

No matter where your accident occurred, our experienced attorneys can review the circumstances and help gather evidence to prove that someone else was to blame.

The Process of Filing a Slip and Fall Claim

To seek compensation for a slip and fall accident, you can begin by filing a claim with the property owner’s insurance company. If the insurance carrier accepts liability for your accident, you can discuss and negotiate compensation. Alternatively, you can file a lawsuit against the property owner, which the insurance company would defend.

Either way, you will be dealing with an insurer that will probably take a skeptical view of your claim. Insurance companies handle many claims like yours and often do whatever they can to completely deny those claims or pay as little money as possible in settlements. Insurance carriers fear the consequences of litigation, so hiring our Dickinson legal team at Lone Star Injury Attorneys is one way to make the insurance company in your slip and fall case take you seriously.

How To Win a Slip and Fall Case

To win a slip and fall case, you must prove that the owner of the property where your accident occurred was legally negligent and that their negligence caused your injury. You must show that a dangerous condition existed—such as a wet floor, broken step, or uneven surface—and that the owner either knew or should have known about it but failed to remedy the problem or post warnings. It’s also essential to prove that the hazard (and not your own inattention or unrelated factors) directly caused your fall.

Since you are the person who must meet the burden of proof to win your case, you must come forward with evidence. If you hire our law firm, one of our attorneys can conduct an investigation to gather the evidence you need to win your Dickinson slip and fall case. Additionally, because Texas follows comparative negligence rules, you must show that you were less than 51 percent at fault to recover compensation. Having an experienced personal injury attorney represent you significantly increases your chances of making a successful claim.
