Houston slip & fall lawyer.

Texas premises-liability law turns on whether the property owner knew — or should have known — about the hazard. The evidence to prove that disappears fast, which is why speed matters.

Quick answer: Texas law classifies visitors as invitees, licensees, or trespassers, with different duties owed to each. Business customers are 'invitees' — the highest duty level. Property owners must warn of or correct unreasonably dangerous conditions they knew about or should have discovered with reasonable inspection.

How we work

Our process on a slip & fall / premises liability case.

01

Incident report

Request and preserve the store's incident report immediately — most owners write them and bury them.

02

Surveillance

Demand video before it's overwritten, usually within 30–90 days of the fall.

03

Maintenance logs

Cleaning schedules, inspection logs, and employee training records often show the hazard existed and was ignored.

Frequently asked

Questions people ask about slip & fall / premises liability cases.

Don't most slip-and-falls lose?

They fail when the lawyer doesn't move fast enough to preserve evidence. Cases where video and incident reports are captured within days win at much higher rates.

I signed a report at the store. Does that hurt my case?

It can, depending on what it says. Don't sign anything else without talking to a lawyer first.
