Property owners have a duty to take care of the people who come on their property, whether they are a guest or a customer. That means the property should be hazard-free and not include defects or conditions that could result in dangerous situations.
To prevent accidents, property owners should routinely inspect their property for hazards or unsafe conditions and take reasonable measures to address them.
If they don’t and you experience an injury because of their negligence, you may be eligible to file a personal injury claim.
While slips and falls are the most common types of premise accidents, that doesn’t mean they can’t lead to severe injuries. If you’ve experienced injuries from an accident on a business premise, you should be entitled to compensation for the injuries you sustained.
The Waco personal injury attorneys at Biggs & Greenslade can walk you through the process of filing a personal injury claim and what you need to fully recover from your slip and fall accident.
Not all accidents that happen on someone’s property can or should result in a personal injury claim. One way to determine if you have a claim is to see if the property owner’s negligence was the cause of your injuries.
Since property owners in Texas are required to keep their property safe and notify guests of hazards, you may be able to file a claim if you sustained injuries due to their negligence.
However, negligence can be difficult to prove on your own. That’s where the slip and fall lawyers at Biggs and Greenslade come in. They investigate for signs of negligence, which may look like:
Our team will help you determine if negligence was at play in your accident. We listen to the details of your case and help you determine whether or not you should file a slip and fall claim.
If you have an accident that isn’t your fault on someone else’s property, you can likely file a premises liability claim to help you recover. Our team has handled accidents that have happened at several types of locations, including:
Grocery stores are common places for slip and fall accidents since spills happen without being cleaned up in a timely manner.
Retail stores don’t always maintain their location like they should. If you experience an injury because you slipped on dirty store floors or trip on old carpeting, you may be able to file a personal injury claim.
If a shopping center isn’t maintained, it can be rife with hazards for consumers. The interior and exterior may lead to accidents where you can file a personal injury claim.
Taking care of parking lots often is forgotten by businesses. This neglect can create unsafe conditions that lead to an accident.
Sometimes public buildings neglect their grounds and don’t provide adequate protection for their visitors.
Restaurants are home to all sorts of accident-prone materials, including grease and water. If these materials aren’t cleaned up properly, they can endanger customers.
You can even have serious injuries in someone’s private home. If you experience injuries, such as a fall or dog bite, you can file a premises liability claim.
Regardless of where you are, you can file a claim if you experience an accident on someone else’s property if it’s due to their neglect. Talk to experienced slip and fall attorneys in Waco, TX, to share the details of your case.

You may be held partially at fault for your slip and fall accident depending on the circumstances of your accident.
The main factor that determines whether or not you’ll be held at fault is if your actions are considered unreasonable compared to the average person.
If it’s determined that you acted reasonably and the property owner didn’t take the necessary steps to prevent the hazard, it’s likely the property owner’s fault.
However, if the property owner did take measures and there was an accident, you may be held partially at fault. This may happen if there was a wet floor sign over a slippery area that you walked through, which resulted in your fall. The property owner may be able to avoid liability if this is the case.
Premises liability cases are often complex, so an experienced slip & fall attorney can help you determine who is liable and to what extent.
As long as you are less than 51% liable for your accident, you can file a personal injury claim and be partially compensated for your injuries. If you are partially at fault, insurance companies may try to make you more responsible than you are.
