Slip and Fall

Rio Grande Valley Slip and Fall Accident Lawyers

On the surface, slip, and fall cases may not seem all that serious, but in reality, these types of personal injury cases can involve devastating injuries, extensive damages, and tragic deaths.

 

Slip, and fall accidents fall under a type of personal injury law known as premises liability. When you are out at a grocery store, an amusement park, or even at work, the owner of that property is required by law to keep the area safe. This means clearing walkways, putting up proper signage, and conducting regular property maintenance. Sometimes, however, especially during construction or busy hours of operation, maintenance gets forgotten. This can lead to severe accidents, such as scaffolding that falls or tripping-related accidents. Such incidents can cause major head injuries, such as traumatic brain injury, as well as spinal cord injuries, back injuries, and even fatalities.

If you or a loved one have been injured due to the negligence of a property owner or business owner, call Tijerina Legal Group today to discuss your case with an experienced slip, and fall attorney.
