Dallas Slip and Fall Lawyer

To win a slip and fall case in Texas, your lawyer must show that a property owner failed to act responsibly under the state’s premises liability laws. These laws, outlined in the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code Chapter 75 (Premises Liability), define the duty of care owed to different types of visitors.

Here’s how visitors are categorized under this law:

• Invitee: Someone invited onto the property for business, like a customer or client. Property owners owe invitees the highest duty of care.
• Licensee: A social guest or visitor. Owners must warn them of known dangers.
• Trespasser: Someone entering without permission. Owners must only avoid willful harm.

To prove negligence in a slip and fall case, four elements must be met:

1. The property owner owed a duty of care to keep the premises safe.
2. The owner knew or should have known about a dangerous condition.
3. They failed to fix or warn about that hazard.
4. The victim suffered injuries as a direct result.
