San Antonio Slip and Fall Lawyer

Slip and fall cases often involve complex property laws, city inspection requirements, and evidence that can disappear quickly. As experienced San Antonio personal injury attorneys, we’ve seen the wide range of dangerous conditions that lead to preventable falls — from wet grocery store floors to broken sidewalks in historic districts. We also understand how often hazards go unreported, which is why we rely on local evidence sources, including the City of San Antonio public hazard reporting system, when investigating unsafe conditions.

Slip and fall incidents occur frequently across San Antonio, especially in:

• Busy retail areas like HEB, Walmart, and Target
• Apartments and rental properties with aging infrastructure
• Military-adjacent areas with high foot traffic
• Tourist zones, including the River Walk, Market Square, and Alamo Plaza

If you were hurt due to a dangerous condition on someone else’s property, you have the right to pursue compensation. Call now to speak with a slip and fall injury attorney about your case.

What you do immediately after a slip and fall can greatly impact your case. Because many hazards are quickly cleaned, repaired, or removed, gathering evidence early is essential.

Here are the steps to take:

• Report the incident right away to the property owner, manager, or employee on duty. Retail stores in San Antonio—especially grocery chains and big-box retailers—typically require an incident report.
• Request a copy of the incident report or take a photo of it with your phone. Additional consumer protections and reporting information is available on the Texas Attorney General’s consumer rights page.
• Take photos or videos of the hazard before it’s fixed or cleaned. This can include wet floors, debris, spills, broken concrete, or poor lighting.
• Gather witness names and contact information. Tourist-heavy areas like the River Walk often have bystanders who can confirm what happened.
• Seek medical attention, even for what seem like moderate injuries. Many soft tissue injuries and head injuries worsen over time.
• Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance adjusters until you speak with a personal injury attorney. Insurance companies often try to shift blame or minimize your injuries.
• Contact a San Antonio slip and fall injury attorney to protect your rights and ensure evidence is preserved.
