Who Is Liable for My Slip & Fall Injury?

When someone is injured due to unsafe conditions on another person’s property, the law provides a path for accountability. In Texas, this falls under what’s known as premises liability. This legal framework holds property owners and managers responsible for maintaining safe environments for visitors.

To pursue a claim, it must be shown that the property owner either knew or reasonably should have known about a dangerous condition and failed to address it.

This could include:

Wet floors. No warning signs placed after mopping or spills.
Poor lighting. Dim stairwells or hallways that make hazards hard to see.
Uneven surfaces. Cracked sidewalks or loose flooring.
Obstructions. Items left in walkways that create tripping risks.

The level of responsibility a property owner holds depends on why you were on the property. Most cases involve invitees—individuals visiting for the owner’s benefit, such as customers in a store or diners in a restaurant. These visitors are owed the highest level of care under Texas law.

What Evidence Do I Need to Win My Forney Slip & Fall Case?

The path to justice begins with clear documentation.

At Vice Henley & Dilbeck, we believe truth deserves to be seen, heard, and preserved. The more thoroughly an incident is recorded, the stronger your foundation for seeking rightful compensation becomes.

We can help you gather crucial evidence, such as:

Photographs and videos. Capture the exact spot where the fall occurred, including the hazard itself—whether it’s a spill, uneven surface, or poor lighting. Include wide shots of the surrounding area and any missing warning signs.
An official incident report. If the fall happened at a business, notify a manager or owner immediately. Request a copy of the report to establish a formal record of the event.
Witness information. If someone saw what happened, ask for their name and contact details. Their account can help confirm the circumstances of your injury.
Your clothing and shoes. Keep the items you were wearing at the time of the fall. Do not wash or alter them—they may help demonstrate how the hazard affected you.
Medical records. Seek medical attention promptly and describe how the injury occurred. These records connect your physical condition directly to the incident.

Are There Caps on Available Compensation in a Slip & Fall Case?

After a serious fall, many people wonder how much compensation they can pursue and whether there’s a legal ceiling on what they may receive.

In most slip and fall cases involving private businesses or individuals, there are no state-imposed limits on the amount you can recover for:

Economic damages. These include medical expenses, lost wages, and other financial losses directly tied to your injury.
Non-economic damages. These cover pain, emotional distress, and the injury's impact on your daily life.

However, there are exceptions. Texas law limits punitive damages, which are awarded in rare cases to penalize extreme misconduct or intentional harm.

The Texas Tort Claims Act applies if your claim involves a government entity, such as a city, county, or state agency. This law sets strict deadlines and caps on the amount of compensation available.
