To determine whether your claim could qualify for compensation, your attorney will need to prove that your slip and fall accident was the result of negligence. The following factors must be determined:
Legally speaking, there are three different types of visitors:
Invitees are given express or implied permission by the property owner to enter the premises for the benefit of both parties. For example, invitees could include employees or customers entering a place of business. Property owners are legally responsible to perform regular inspections to prevent potentially hazardous obstacles or situations. Property owners also need to warn invitees about dangerous conditions.
Licensees can enter the property for reasons not related to business, such as a social guest attending a house party. These guests must be invited by the property owner or tenant; however, warnings must be given about any known dangers.
Trespassers are not allowed to be on the property, therefore, the property owner is unlikely to be held liable if an accident occurs. However, property owners could be held liable if it is found that the harm done to the trespasser was intentional. In the case of a child trespasser, the property owner could be held liable if the child had easy access to the dangerous situation.
Your lawyer must also be able to prove that the harmful situation existed on the property and the accident would not have occurred if the property owner properly addressed the situation or repaired the issue. Some important factors your attorney may need to consider are:
It is important to have a lawyer who has experience working with these types of cases. Our Fort Worth slip and fall lawyers have in-depth knowledge of state and federal laws as well as extensive experience researching past cases that may help your situation.
No Fees Unless We Win
It depends on several important factors your lawyer will need to go over with you. It is important to keep documentation of any expenditures or financial losses related to your accident, such as:
You could recover compensation for any past, present or future medical costs related to your slip and fall injury. This includes a wide variety of things like doctor visits, hospital stays, ambulatory care, medications, physical therapy, assistive medical equipment needed and more.
If you were forced to miss work because of your injury, you could recover compensation for the income you would have earned for that period. This includes time off to attend medical appointments. When a slip and fall injury victim sustains severe injuries, he or she may never be able to return to work in the same capacity as before the accident. If this is the case, you might be eligible for lost earning capacity compensation.
As a victim of a slip and fall accident, you could qualify for compensation based on the amount of physical, mental and emotional pain you sustained. Anxiety, insomnia, depression, fear and other psychological effects could be considered for compensation.
Be sure to preserve evidence of your injury, including all medical bills, lost wages and take note of the amount of pain and suffering you endure each day.
To have a chance of recovering compensation for a slip and fall injury that was caused by the negligence of another party, your claim must be filed within a certain time frame, which is known as the statute of limitations. If your slip and fall accident occurred in Texas, you generally have two years from the date you discovered your injury to file a claim.
However, there could be certain situations where your claim may need to be filed earlier or later. For example, if the injured victim was under the age of 18 at the time of the accident, they may have more than two years to file (the two-year clock does not begin to run until the victim turns 18).
If you have any questions about the time limit for your slip and fall injury claim, contact a knowledgeable Fort Worth slip and fall accident attorney at Anderson & Cummings today. Remember, we do not collect any lawyer fees unless we win compensation for your claim.
Injury victims who hire a lawyer often receive larger settlement awards compared to those who represent themselves. Our lawyers have a wealth of experience and knowledge of the laws in Texas. Some of the tasks our attorneys are prepared to help with include:
Damages in a slip and fall accident cannot be accurately assessed without a proper investigation by a professional. Our lawyers are trained to carefully investigate accident scenes for helpful evidence to prove your claim. We know which medical documentation is needed to prove the severity of your injuries. If you have a viable claim, we can also obtain police or accident reports, interview witnesses and hire industry experts to help us validate the cause for your slip and fall accident.
It is important to be careful when speaking to insurers and anyone else involved with your slip and fall accident. Insurance companies and lawyers from the defendant’s side may try to get you to say something that could be held against you to devalue your claim.
Your lawyer can legally handle all communications involved with your case to protect the value of your claim. Our trusted lawyers know how to effectively communicate and negotiate fair compensation for injury victims.

My wife and I were in a serious accident and she sustained serious injuries. John was recommended by a co-worker. I have never had to deal with injuries due to a car wreck and the negligence of someone else so I was in unfamiliar territory. John was very understanding and patient and took the time to meet with us anytime we had questions and Mrs. Alvarez was on top of everything and very professional. I hope and pray we never have to go through this again but if we do John will be my first call.

Anderson Cummings did a wonderful job representing me after a terrible car multi-car wreck with an underinsured motorist at fault. John Cummings was very knowledgeable, professional, conscientious, detail oriented, and empathetic to what I had gone through and helped me navigate a situation that I had no experience with. Ms. Alvarez also worked with me and was very helpful with my questions and communication. I would highly recommend their practice for your legal needs.
