A simple slip can cause serious, long-term injuries. We help victims prove negligence and recover damages for their medical bills and pain. We represent clients in Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and the Rio Grande Valley.
What to Do Immediately After a Slip and Fall
The actions you take in the minutes and hours after a fall are critical. Evidence can be cleaned up or disappear quickly, so it’s vital to protect your rights from the start.
Report the Incident
Notify a manager or property owner immediately. Ask them to make a written incident report and get a copy for your records.
Take Photos & Videos
Use your phone to document exactly what caused you to fall—the spilled liquid, the broken tile, the poor lighting. Take pictures from multiple angles.
Get Witness Information
If anyone saw you fall, get their name and phone number. Independent witness testimony can be incredibly powerful.
Seek Medical Attention
Even if you feel you can walk it off, see a doctor. This creates a medical record of your injuries and can reveal issues that aren’t immediately apparent.
Preserve Your Shoes & Clothing
Do not continue to wear the shoes you had on during the fall. Place them in a sealed bag. They can be important evidence in your case.
How We Prove Property Owner Negligence
Property owners and their insurance companies will almost always try to blame the victim. Attorney Chris Sanchez knows how to build a strong case by proving the owner knew, or reasonably should have known, about a dangerous condition and did nothing to fix it. We gather evidence like maintenance logs, security footage, and employee testimony to establish negligence and win your case.
Common Dangerous Conditions:
- ✓ Wet or Slippery Floors
- ✓ Cluttered Aisles & Walkways
- ✓ Poor Lighting in Stairwells or Hallways
- ✓ Broken Stairs or Missing Handrails
- ✓ Uneven Pavement or Potholes in Parking Lots
Taking Your Injuries Seriously
An unexpected fall can cause severe injuries with long-term consequences, especially for older adults. We fight for compensation for all types of injuries, including:
Hip Fractures
A debilitating injury that often requires surgery and can lead to permanent mobility issues.
Head & Brain Injuries
A concussion or TBI can occur if your head strikes the ground or a hard object during the fall.
Back & Spinal Cord Injuries
Falls can easily cause herniated discs or even more severe damage to the spinal cord.
Broken Wrists & Ankles
Commonly fractured as victims instinctively try to break their fall.
Torn Ligaments & Tendons
Painful soft tissue injuries that can require surgery and extensive physical therapy.
Full Financial Recovery
We demand compensation for medical bills, lost income, and your pain and suffering.
