Slip and Fall Lawyers & Premises Liability Claims
A seemingly simple slip and fall can lead to shockingly severe injuries, dramatically altering a person’s life in an instant. These accidents are often dismissed as mere clumsiness, but in reality, they frequently result from dangerous conditions on someone else’s property due to negligence. At The Bonner Law Firm, PC, Victor M. Bonner and our dedicated team of slip and fall lawyers are experts in premises liability claims throughout Houston, TX. We understand that property owners and businesses have a legal responsibility to maintain a safe environment for visitors, and when they fail in that duty, causing harm, we are here to hold them accountable and fight for the justice our clients deserve.
A trip and fall accident can occur in countless locations, from grocery stores and restaurants to apartment complexes, parking lots, and even private residences. Common hazardous conditions that lead to these injuries include:
- Wet or slippery floors without warning signs.
- Uneven walking surfaces, cracked pavement, or potholes.
- Poor lighting in stairwells or pathways.
- Loose rugs or torn carpeting.
- Obstructed aisles or walkways.
- Broken stairs, handrails, or defective flooring.
- Accumulated ice or snow that is not properly cleared.
Our premises liability lawyers conduct a meticulous investigation into the circumstances of your fall accident, gathering crucial evidence to prove that the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to address it. This often involves securing surveillance footage, interviewing witnesses, photographing the scene, obtaining maintenance records, and researching property ownership and management. We aim to reconstruct the events leading to your injury to clearly demonstrate negligence.
The injuries sustained in a fall injury can be far more serious than many imagine. They often include:
- Broken bones, fractures, especially wrists, hips, and ankles.
- Head injuries, including concussions and traumatic brain injuries.
- Spinal cord injuries, leading to debilitating back and neck pain.
- Severe sprains and strains.
- Internal injuries.
- Chronic pain and long-term disability.
These injuries can require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and sometimes even surgery, leading to substantial medical bills and a significant impact on your ability to work and enjoy life. Our fall injury attorneys work closely with medical experts to fully document your injuries and their long-term effects, ensuring that every aspect of your suffering and loss is factored into your injury settlement claims.

Bonner and our slip and fall attorneys are prepared for these defensive tactics. We aggressively counter their arguments with compelling evidence and legal expertise, demonstrating that the property owner’s negligence directly led to your harm. We are seasoned negotiators and experienced litigators who will not hesitate to take your case to court if a fair settlement cannot be reached.
