Why Get Help from a Dallas Slip and Fall Attorney?

Insurance companies often try to take advantage of those who are injured in slip and fall accidents. Unfortunately, many insurers get away with this type of behavior. This is because an injured party may lack an understanding of premises liability law in Texas, or they may be unaware of the value of their case. Our law firm deals with insurance companies on behalf of our clients and protects their rights, which allows our clients to focus on their physical recovery instead.

We thoroughly investigate cases to determine who was at fault for a slip and fall as well as:

• Calculate damages
• Demand a full and fair amount from the liable property owner (or his or her insurer)
• Prepare for litigation, if necessary
• Keep our clients informed of the case’s progress at all times
• Represent our clients on a contingency fee basis (so they will pay nothing unless we recover compensation for them).

Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents in Dallas

The Oak Cliff Neighborhood an older historic area of Dallas, and their Property Owners invite others onto their land must keep the premises in a reasonably safe condition.

Most slip and fall cases involve a property owner that negligently fails to maintain his or her property and fails to fix or warn visitors about hazards such as:

• Broken stairs could cause a person to trip and sustain an injury
• Broken or loose handrails, which can cause serious injuries to visitors who place their weight on them if they give way
• Torn or frayed carpeting or loose tiles, which can easily cause a visitor to trip if left unaddressed
• Slick surfaces caused by spilled liquids or tracked-in rain, ice or slush
• Dim lighting, which can make it difficult for visitors to see and avoid hazards
• The uneven pavement on sidewalks and in parking lots, which can trip unsuspecting visitors
• Cluttered walkways, which can create a dangerous risk

When a client is injured as a result of one of these types of hazards, Kraft & Associates, P.C., immediately investigates the claim by gathering and assessing evidence such as:

• Photos of the scene
• Statements from witnesses who saw the accident
• Any video recordings of the accident
• Reports of similar falls that occurred at an earlier date
• The safety requirements imposed by local building codes
• The company’s own written policies regarding visitor safety.

During the investigative process, we also take steps to identify all responsible parties, including property owners and others such as negligent employees or third-party maintenance or cleaning crews.

Dallas Injury Lawyers At Kraft & Associates, P.C., our goal is to obtain full and fair compensation for our clients. To that end, we review all of an injured party’s medical records and also consult with medical experts about the cause, extent, and costs of the victim’s injuries. We also reject all efforts to minimize a claim by at-fault parties and their insurers, including claims that the injured party was negligent or walked into an “open and obvious” hazard. We can also assist injured parties with related Social Security disability benefits claims.

Time Limits on Slip and Fall Claims in Texas

Those who are injured in slip and fall accidents in Dallas must act quickly to get legal help. Texas has a strict statute of limitations that applies to personal injury claims. Generally, injured parties must file their claim within two years from the date of the injury.

Injured parties who fail to file claims on time will most likely have their case barred by the court, meaning that they may miss out on their only opportunity to collect compensation for their losses. Similarly, at-fault parties and their insurers are much less likely to settle claims after this date has passed as they will no longer face the possibility that the party could file a claim against them in court.
