Slip & Fall Attorney in McAllen
Do You have a Premises Liability Claim?
Each and every year, countless individuals are injured because of slippery or damaged walking surfaces. These injuries can occur on public property, such as the park or sidewalk, or at a private location, including retail stores, restaurants, and private parking lots. Businesses are required to keep their premises in a safe condition to allow customers and pedestrians to safely walk without the risk of injury. When unsafe surface conditions have led to an injury, you may have grounds for a personal injury lawsuit.

Texas' Modified Comparative Negligence Rule
The state of Texas has a comparative negligence rule that can result in some blame being placed on the injured party, thus limiting the amount of compensation that can be awarded. However, the defendant must prove that the injured party had some blame in the accident.
Property owners may claim that the individual was in a restricted area, was not looking at their surroundings, or was behaving in such a way that it caused the accident. With a case evaluation from The Law Office of Carlos A. García, PLLC, our legal team can develop a strategy that offers you the strongest case.
