Houston Slip and Fall Lawyer for Premises Liability
Holding Property Owners Accountable
Hazards in stores, apartments, and workplaces
Wet floors in a supermarket, uneven pavement near Westchase, or poor lighting in a garage can cause serious harm. Businesses and property managers in Houston must fix hazards or warn customers in a reasonable time. Stephens Juren, PLLC investigates fast and pushes the insurer to accept responsibility.
Do You Have A Case
What Texas law requires and how we prove it
To recover, we show a
dangerous condition existed, the owner knew or should have known about it, failed to fix or warn, and that the hazard caused your injury. We gather incident reports, maintenance logs, and camera footage in places like Midtown and The Heights. Our team analyzes how long the hazard was present and whether any warning signs were used.
Common Injuries From Falls
From fractures to concussions
Falls can lead to broken hips, wrist fractures, torn ligaments, and head injuries. Older adults are at greater risk of long hospital stays and rehab needs. We coordinate with local providers to document medical care and
future therapy.

Questions About Slip and Fall Cases
Five answers to get you started
What should I do after a fall in a store?
Report it to a manager and ask for an incident report. Take photos of the spill, lighting, or broken surface and get witness names. Seek medical care and call our office before speaking with the insurer.
Is a store always responsible if I fell there?
No, we still must prove negligence under Texas premises liability rules. Evidence about how long the hazard existed is important. We build timelines from logs, video, and witness accounts.
How long do I have to file a case?
Texas generally gives two years from the date of injury. Evidence like camera footage can disappear much sooner. Acting early helps preserve proof and strengthens the claim.
What if I was partly at fault?
Texas comparative fault rules can reduce recovery by your percentage of responsibility. As long as you are not more than 50 percent at fault, you can still recover damages. We work to show the property owner bears the majority of blame.
What damages can I recover?
Medical bills, rehab and therapy, lost income, and pain and suffering are all recoverable. Lasting impairment and loss of enjoyment of life may also apply. We document each category to support full compensation.
