How Can I Prove That I Have a Slip-and-Fall Case in Texas or New Mexico?

When you go to someone else’s property, you expect everything to go smoothly. However, if the property owner did not fix broken flooring or left slip hazards in the area, you might fall and injure yourself. If you would like help seeking a financial award for your pain, suffering, and medical costs, reach out to a lawyer licensed in both Texas and New Mexico. 

The law firm of Fadduol, Cluff, Hardy & Conaway, P.C., has been representing clients since 1984. Thanks to our four decades of helping injured victims, we have a clear understanding of the importance of gathering key evidence that confirms your right to file a claim. We are ready to begin gathering the proof you need to seek restitution.

Why Is Proof Important in a Slip-and-Fall Case?

When seeking a financial award for the injuries you suffered in your slip-and-fall accident, you must show negligence on the part of the property or business owner. Your financial and legal claims won’t have a leg to stand on without proving that the property or business owner knew about the dangerous situation and failed to fix it.

Without proof of negligence, the legal system treats the case as an unfortunate accident that was no one’s fault. Our  lawyers will take the time to investigate the case thoroughly. We will work to find the evidence we need to show that the property or business owner failed to create a safe atmosphere for you, resulting in harm.

Evidence We Use As Proof of Your Slip-and-Fall Injury

Evidence we may gather on your behalf when seeking a financial claim related to your slip-and-fall injury includes the following:

Dangerous Conditions

Perhaps the property or business owner did not repair loose material on a broken step, clean up a slippery floor, or secure a floor mat. If you fell and suffered injuries as a result, these dangerous conditions will be key pieces of evidence.

To prove the dangerous conditions existed at the time of your fall, one of our lawyers may interview witnesses, review incident reports, conduct a site inspection, or use video footage of the scene of the accident.

Failure To Make Repairs

We must show that the property owner knew, or should have known,  about the dangerous condition but failed to correct it. This is a key sign of negligence in your case.

Types of Injuries

If you must visit the emergency room to receive treatment after your slip and fall, your medical records could serve as another important piece of the puzzle. 

Medical professionals know when injuries are consistent with a slip-and-fall accident rather than through some other type of accident. We will interview your doctors to gain the evidence we need to show that your fall led to your injuries.

We Are Ready To Represent You Today

A slip-and-fall claim can be difficult to prove. Such cases don’t always have many witnesses. Police may not show up on the scene to take a full report and conduct an investigation. Meanwhile, the property or business owner could try covering their tracks by immediately cleaning up any evidence of your accident to avoid taking the blame.

Trust Fadduol, Cluff, Hardy & Conaway, P.C., to give your case our undivided attention. We know you are relying on us to pursue the fairest financial award to cover your bills and help ease the suffering you’ve experienced. We do not cut corners.
