Slip and Fall Accidents

A slip and fall might seem like a minor mishap—until it isn’t

A slip and fall might seem like a minor mishap—until it isn’t. These accidents can lead to serious, life-changing injuries that impact your ability to work, support your family, or live without pain. At Mahdavi Law Firm, we help victims of slip and fall accidents hold negligent property owners accountable and fight for the compensation they need to recover.

If you were injured on someone else’s property—whether at a store, office, apartment complex, or parking lot—you may have a right to seek financial recovery. Our team is here to help you understand your legal options and protect your future.

What Is a Slip and Fall Claim?

Under Texas law, property owners and managers have a duty to keep their premises safe for guests, customers, and tenants. When they fail to clean up spills, fix broken stairs, repair uneven flooring, or address known hazards, they may be held responsible for resulting injuries. These types of claims fall under premises liability law.

Slip and fall accidents are more than just embarrassing moments—they often cause broken bones, spinal injuries, concussions, and other painful conditions. When your injury is the result of someone else’s carelessness, you deserve answers and accountability.

Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall injuries can occur in countless environments, from grocery stores to job sites. Some of the most common causes include:

• Wet or slippery floors without warning signs
• Uneven sidewalks or flooring
• Poor lighting in stairwells or walkways
• Broken handrails or loose steps
• Cluttered aisles or blocked pathways
• Spilled liquids or food in commercial stores
• Failure to remove ice, snow, or other weather-related hazards

Whether your fall happened in a retail store, restaurant, hotel, apartment complex, or public property, we’ll investigate the conditions and determine if negligence played a role.

What to Do After a Slip and Fall Accident

If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall, report the incident immediately to the property owner or manager. Ask for an incident report and get a copy if possible. Take photos of the hazard and your injuries before the scene is altered. Get names and contact info of any witnesses who saw what happened.

Seek medical treatment right away—even if your pain seems minor at first. Then contact Mahdavi Law Firm. The sooner we get involved, the stronger your case will be. We’ll preserve evidence, communicate with insurers, and protect you from tactics that minimize or deny your claim.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Depending on the severity of your injury, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical expenses (including future care and rehab)
• Lost wages and lost earning potential
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Permanent disability or disfigurement

In some cases, punitive damages may be awarded if the property owner’s conduct was especially reckless.
