ALEXANDER LAW :: TEXAS SLIP AND FALL LAWYERS (premises-liability child cornerstone) :: scope .jalex-sf -->\n<!-- Cloned from the Texas Amputation catastrophic page; CSS\/JS reused VERBATIM and rescoped to .jalex-sf (anim jalex-sf-mq). Structure, colors, fonts, sections identical. -->\n<!-- FLAGS before publish:\n   * URL SCHEME: built for the FLAT live pattern \/practice-areas\/slip-and-fall-lawyers\/ (the live sitemap uses flat {topic}-lawyers slugs; the nested \/catastrophic-injuries\/ hub REDIRECTS to the homepage and must not be used). Breadcrumb is 2-level Home > Practice Areas > Slip and Fall. Confirm final slug and fix the breadcrumb link + the 3 schema\/breadcrumb URLs if it differs.\n   * CANNIBALIZATION: a LIVE \/practice-areas\/premises-liability-lawyers\/ page already exists. Slip-and-fall is a SUBTYPE of premises liability, so this page is built as the NARROW CHILD that owns the slip\/trip\/fall + wet-floor + uneven-surface + stairs + \"open and obvious\" + invitee\/licensee duty angle, and LINKS UP to premises-liability as its parent hub (keyword-variant anchor). To complete the silo, add a link DOWN from the premises-liability page to this one. Keep premises broad (negligent security, falling merchandise, pool, structural); keep this page specific to falls so the two never compete for the same query.\n   * HERO IMAGE set to the new wet-floor \/ commercial-floor asset (Gemini_Generated_Image_h5xn63h5xn63h5xn.webp); <img src> and <link preload> are in sync (LCP). Confirm it is ~16:9 landscape so it does not letterbox.\n   * STAT figures are NATIONAL fall-injury data (CDC \/ National Safety Council \/ National Floor Safety Institute), NOT Texas-specific and NOT case values: falls are among the leading causes of nonfatal ER-treated injuries; millions of fall injuries are treated each year; falls are a top cause of TBI. Attorney\/editor to confirm exact figures and source links before publish.\n   * Marquee \"$36M+\" and \"75+ yrs\" carried from sibling pages; UNVERIFIED. Confirm or replace.\n   * Texas premises-liability framing is for ATTORNEY sign-off: invitee\/licensee\/trespasser duty, the \"open and obvious\" defense, and the knowledge\/notice element (owner knew or should have known of the hazard). Sections 16.003 \/ 33.001 cited with authoritative links.\n   * Phone (469) 807-7480 matches sibling pages. Confirm.\n   * INTERNAL LINKS use only confirmed-live sitemap URLs: premises-liability-lawyers (parent), wrongful-death-lawyers, texas-traumatic-brain-injury-lawyers, texas-spinal-cord-injury-lawyers, texas-amputation-lawyers, bio pages, testimonials, contact-us. -->\n<link rel=\"preload\" as=\"image\" fetchpriority=\"high\"

Falling on someone&#8217;s property is not enough by itself; the case turns on the owner&#8217;s <strong>knowledge of the hazard<\/strong> and your reason for being there. The fastest way to know is a free review while the evidence still exists.<\/div>\n          <\/details>\n          <details class=\"fq\">\n            <summary>How long do I have to file a slip and fall claim in Texas?<span class=\"tog\"><svg class=\"ic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#fa-plus\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/summary>\n            <div class=\"a\">Under <a href=\"https:\/\/statutes.capitol.texas.gov\/Docs\/CP\/htm\/CP.16.htm#16.003\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code \u00a7 16.003<\/a>, you generally have <strong>two years<\/strong> from the date of the fall to file suit. Claims against a city or government property follow shorter notice deadlines. But the practical clock is much shorter, because surveillance video and cleaning records can be gone within days, so act early.<\/div>\n          <\/details>\n          <details class=\"fq\">\n            <summary>What does &#8220;open and obvious&#8221; mean for my case?<span class=\"tog\"><svg class=\"ic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#fa-plus\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/summary>\n            <div class=\"a\">It is the property owner&#8217;s favorite defense. They argue the hazard was so <strong>open and obvious<\/strong> that you should have seen and avoided it, which can reduce or defeat your claim. We counter it by showing the danger was hidden, in your blind spot, or impossible to avoid, and by proving the owner created or knew about it and should have fixed it.<\/div>\n          <\/details>\n          <details class=\"fq\">\n            <summary>The store says it was my fault.

Texas uses <strong>modified comparative negligence<\/strong>: your recovery is reduced by your share of fault, and barred only if you are found <strong>more than 50%<\/strong> responsible. Stores routinely overstate your share to pay less. Building the evidence of the owner&#8217;s notice is how we push that number back where it belongs.<\/div>\n          <\/details>\n          <details class=\"fq\">\n            <summary>Why is surveillance video so important?<span class=\"tog\"><svg class=\"ic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#fa-plus\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/summary>\n            <div class=\"a\">Because it can show how long the hazard was there before you fell, which is the core of proving the owner had notice. The problem is that many systems <strong>record over footage within days<\/strong>. One of the first things we do is send a legal preservation letter demanding the owner keep the video, so it cannot quietly disappear.<\/div>\n          <\/details>\n          <details class=\"fq\">\n            <summary>What should I do right after a slip and fall?<span class=\"tog\"><svg class=\"ic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#fa-plus\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/summary>\n            <div class=\"a\">Report the fall and ask for a written incident report. If you can, <strong>photograph the hazard<\/strong>, the spill, the broken step, the missing sign, and get names of any witnesses. See a doctor even if you feel okay, because head and back injuries can surface later. And do not give a recorded statement to the store&#8217;s insurer before talking to a lawyer.<\/div>\n          <\/details>\n          <details class=\"fq\">\n            <summary>What is a slip and fall case worth in Texas?<span class=\"tog\"><svg class=\"ic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#fa-plus\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/summary>\n            <div class=\"a\">There is no honest average.
