Fall Accidents

Slip, Trip & Fall Attorneys Helping Injury Victims

A seemingly simple fall can result in broken bones, head trauma, spinal injuries, and lasting consequences — especially when dangerous conditions on someone else’s property cause it. Falls and related accidents are among the most common causes of serious injury in Texas, and many happen because property owners fail to maintain safe premises.

At Schilter Law Firm, we represent people hurt in slip, trip, and fall accidents on commercial, residential, or public property. We know how to show that a dangerous condition existed, counter common excuses from property owners and insurers, and fight for the compensation you need to recover.

Motorcycle Accident FAQs

Do I have a case if I fell on someone else’s property?
Yes — if the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to fix or warn about it.
A warning sign doesn’t automatically protect a property owner — it depends on whether they acted reasonably to address the hazard.
Yes, if the unsafe condition that caused your fall was something the landlord was responsible for repairing.
In Texas, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the accident.
You owe nothing upfront — we work on a contingency fee basis and only get paid if we win your case.
