Skip to content A serious slip and fall accident can happen in seconds, but the physical pain, financial burden, and emotional stress can last for months or years. Falls caused by unsafe property conditions often result in broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and permanent disabilities that affect every aspect of a person’s life.
If your injuries were caused by a negligent property owner or business, you may have the right to pursue compensation under Texas premises liability law.
At The Law Office of Joe Brad Brock, we represent individuals throughout Corpus Christi, Nueces County, and South Texas who have been injured because property owners failed to maintain reasonably safe premises. Our goal is simple: hold negligent parties accountable while helping injured Texans recover the compensation they deserve.

Falls often produce injuries far more serious than people expect.
Common injuries include:
Older adults are particularly vulnerable to severe complications after falls, but serious injuries can affect people of any age.
Texas premises liability law requires property owners to exercise reasonable care in maintaining safe conditions for lawful visitors.
To recover compensation, an injured person generally must prove:
Texas also follows a modified comparative fault rule. If an injured person is found partially responsible for the accident, their compensation may be reduced. If they are more than 50% responsible, they may be barred from recovery.
Because insurance companies frequently attempt to shift blame onto victims, early legal representation is often critical.
Every premises liability case begins with a detailed investigation.

Depending on the circumstances of your case, compensation may include:

Possibly. Texas follows modified comparative negligence rules. Your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
The absence of warning signs may strengthen a premises liability claim if the owner knew or should have known about the hazard.
