The Legal Implications of Slip and Fall Accident Injuries in San Antonio

A San Antonio slip and fall accident may not be the first thing you think of when you imagine personal injury accidents. Nevertheless, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified that, when it comes to unintentional injuries deaths, slip and fall accidents are as common as vehicle-related deaths. The National Safety Council, similarly, found that 33% of all preventable nonfatal injuries are caused by fall accidents. If you or someone close to you has been the victim of a San Antonio Texas slip and fall accident, an experienced attorney at Carabin Shaw will work with you to seek the financial compensation and justice that you are entitled to.

The legal implications of slip and fall accident injuries in San Antonio can be overwhelming. Filing a slip and fall claim is not a simple task. There is a limited time during which you can file for compensation, and slip and fall accidents often fall under the umbrella of Premises Liability law. The core aspect of filing a personal injury claim is to prove that someone else is at fault for your injuries. The attorneys at Carabin Shaw have guided San Antonio and Texas citizens through that process for over 30 years.

Premises liability is a legal term that refers to any personal injury sustained on someone else’s property. Your slip and fall injury compensation in Texas can depend heavily on the circumstances that led you to be on that property, and the degree of safety that the property owner owed you as a visitor. Depending on whether you were considered an Invitee, Licensee, or Trespasser, that level of owed safety changes. Carabin Shaw’s trusted lawyers will navigate this for you, allowing you to focus on healing.

A statute of limitation is the amount of time you have, as the victim of a personal injury accident, to pursue a case against the at-fault party. In Texas, according to Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003, that statute of limitations is 2 years.

As with any personal injury, you are entitled to expert legal support necessary to file a claim and win the justice you are due.
