The Fort Worth slip and fall lawyers at the Cain Firm have decades of experience helping victims navigate the legal process, holding negligent parties accountable, and securing the financial recovery they deserve. If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall in Fort Worth, understanding your rights and the next steps can make all the difference.
What are slip and fall accidents?
Slip and falls are a type of accident that fall under the legal umbrella of personal injury law. They often occur when someone loses their footing due to hazardous conditions on someone else’s property. These incidents fall under premises liability law, which holds property owners and occupiers responsible for maintaining safe conditions for visitors. To have a valid slip and fall claim, you must show that the property owner’s negligence caused the unsafe condition that led to your injury.
Slip and fall cases usually depend on proving that:
- The property owner knew or should have known about the hazard
- The hazard was not addressed or properly warned against in a reasonable time
Where do slip and fall accidents occur?
Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere, but certain locations can present more risks. Common locations for slip and fall accidents include:
- Grocery stores and retail shops: Wet floors, spilled products, or poorly maintained aisles can lead to dangerous conditions.
- Restaurants: Slippery or greasy floors are a frequent hazard.
- Workplaces: Construction sites and office buildings can have tripping hazards or unsafe flooring.
- Parking lots: Uneven pavement, potholes, or poor lighting can cause accidents.
- Private homes: Homeowners are responsible for ensuring their property is safe for invited guests.
Property owners at these locations have a legal duty to address potential hazards timely to prevent injuries.
We stand ready to protect your rights, prove fault, and collect maximum tax-free payment for your injury claims.

Common slip and fall accident injuries
Slip and fall accidents can result in a wide range of injuries, from minor to severe. Common injuries include:
- Fractures: Broken bones, especially in the wrists, arms, or hips, are common when individuals instinctively try to break their fall.
- Head injuries: Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), including concussions, can occur if the head strikes the ground or another surface.
- Spinal cord injuries: Slips and falls can lead to back injuries, herniated discs, or even paralysis in severe cases.
- Soft tissue injuries: Sprains, strains, and torn ligaments often result from sudden movements during a fall.
- Cuts and bruises: While less severe, these injuries can still cause discomfort and require medical attention.
Even minor injuries can have long-term effects, making it essential to seek medical care and legal advice after an accident.
Common causes of slip and fall accidents
Slip and fall accidents are often the result of negligence by property owners or managers. Common causes that result in slip and fall accidents include:
- Wet or slippery floors
- Uneven or cracked sidewalks
- Absent railing
- Loose rugs or mats
- Poor lighting in walkways or staircases
- Cluttered or obstructed pathways
- Unmarked hazards, such as spills or leaks
Property owners have a legal obligation to address these hazards promptly to prevent injuries. Failing to do so can make them liable for any accidents that occur.
Why are slip and fall cases often complicated?
While slip and fall cases may seem straightforward, several factors can make them complex. One major challenge is determining liability. In many cases, multiple parties may share responsibility for the unsafe conditions that led to the accident. Potentially liable parties include:
- Property owners: Responsible for maintaining safe conditions on their premises.
- Property managers: Tasked with day-to-day upkeep and addressing hazards.
- Tenants: In some cases, tenants may be responsible for maintaining safe conditions in rented spaces.
- Maintenance companies: If a third party is hired to maintain the property and fails to do so adequately, they could be held liable.
Proving negligence and determining liability often require thorough investigation and legal expertise, making it crucial to work with an experienced attorney.
