Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Your Case
How do I prove a slip and fall case in Texas? +
You must show: (1) the property owner owed you a duty of care, (2) they knew or should have known about the hazardous condition, (3) they failed to remedy it or warn you, and (4) that failure caused your injuries.
What is 'constructive knowledge' in a slip and fall case? +
The property owner should have known about the hazard even if they didn't actually know. If a spill was on a grocery store floor for 45 minutes, the store likely had constructive notice.
Does Texas comparative fault apply to slip and fall cases? +
Yes. If you are found partially responsible, your damages are reduced proportionally. You cannot recover at all if you are 51% or more at fault.
The property owner says I wasn't paying attention — does that hurt my case? +
This is a litigation tactic. CDF Law builds evidence that the hazard existed, was unreasonable, and was the direct cause of your fall.
