Slip and fall lawyer Texas: your deadline

The first thing a Texas slip and fall lawyer checks is the clock. You have two years from the day you fell to file, under Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003.

Talks with the owner's insurer do not stop that clock. Only a lawsuit filed in court does.

How Texas splits the blame

Texas lets you collect if you were half to blame or less. Above that, the claim is barred. The rule is in Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 33.001.

Say a jury values the case at $40,000 and finds you 20 percent to blame. You would receive $32,000.

Public property in Texas

A fall on government property needs written notice first: 6 months under Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 101.101. Miss it and the claim against the government can be gone.

What your Texas case is worth

The value comes from your bills, lost pay, how long you hurt, and the fault split above.

Answer four quick questions; the Texas rule is already set.

How this number is built

Bills plus lost pay, plus an assumed pain allowance of one and a half to five times the bills by injury. Then the state's fault rule. Texas bars recovery only if you were more than half to blame. Policy limits, liens and future care are left out.

How Texas fall lawyers charge

Fall lawyers in Texas work on contingency. They take a share only if they recover money for you, and nothing if they do not.
