San Antonio Slip And Fall Lawyer
A serious fall injury changes everything in an instant. We see the pain, medical bills, and lost income that follow when someone slips on a wet grocery-store floor or trips on a broken tile along the River Walk. Our job is to shoulder the legal burden so you can focus on healing and rebuilding your life.
Founding attorney Minesh Patel leads our San Antonio slip and fall team with years of focused premises-liability experience. Minesh has dedicated his career to helping injured Texans recover fair compensation after a property owner’s negligence.
More than eight million emergency room visits each year in the United States are caused by falls, and over 28% of Texas seniors report at least one fall annually. These numbers show why experienced legal representation matters. Property owners and insurers deny or minimize claims every day. We fight to make sure that does not happen to you.

Where Do Slip and Fall Accidents Happen?
Slip and fall injuries occur in almost every corner of our city. High-traffic businesses, tourist attractions, and even quiet neighborhoods become dangerous when owners ignore basic safety.
Grocery stores and supermarkets such as H-E-B or Walmart see frequent spills that remain on the floor when staff fail to clean promptly. A wet grocery aisle is the single most common location our clients report.
Shopping malls and retail outlets like North Star Mall and The Shops at La Cantera collect cluttered merchandise, slick food-court tiles, and escalator hazards that catch unsuspecting shoppers off guard.
Sidewalks and public walkways in Alamo Heights, Stone Oak, and Southtown can develop cracked slabs or uneven bricks that cities and property owners neglect to repair.
Apartment complexes and rental homes face liability when broken stair railings or loose carpeting send residents or visitors tumbling.
Medical centers and nursing homes in the South Texas Medical Center area put vulnerable patients at risk if spills or equipment cords are not secured.
We have handled cases in every one of these settings. By documenting the scene, identifying the responsible owner or occupier, and proving they failed to correct a known hazard, we build a strong claim for compensation.
Who Can Be Held Liable for Your Slip and Fall Injury in Texas?
Texas law places responsibility on anyone who owns or controls property to keep that space reasonably safe for visitors. When that duty is breached and a visitor is hurt the negligent party must pay for the harm. We investigate every potential defendant so you do not leave money on the table.
Possible liable parties
- Business owners or tenants
- Landlords and property managers
- Contractors or maintenance companies
- Government entities
- Homeowners
Property owners and insurers often argue that the victim was careless. Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule so you can still recover as long as you were not more than fifty percent at fault. We collect surveillance video maintenance logs and witness statements to show that negligence by the owner, not a momentary lapse by you caused the fall.
How Do You Prove Negligence in a Slip and Fall Claim?
To prove negligence in a slip and fall claim, you must show the property owner failed to maintain a safe environment. Texas law requires establishing four elements: duty, breach, causation, and damages.
You must prove the owner owed a duty of care, meaning they were legally responsible for maintaining safe conditions, such as fixing wet floors or uneven sidewalks. You must then show they breached that duty by knowing about a hazard like a spill or crack but failing to repair it or warn visitors.
Evidence such as photos, surveillance video, and witness statements must then link the hazard directly to the fall. Finally, medical records, lost wages, and doctor assessments prove the injuries and financial harm caused by the accident.
Time is critical because stores often delete security footage within days and witness memories fade. We secure maintenance logs, incident reports, and inspection records to prove the hazard was avoidable. If insurers blame the victim, we use timestamped evidence and expert analysis to prove the property owner’s negligence caused the fall.
