Houston slip and fall cases, however, can have multiple liable parties. These cases are also complicated for other reasons, such as the following.
Difficult to prove causation: To win your case, you must prove both the existence of the dangerous condition, but also that it was a substantial cause of your injuries.
Lack of objective evidence: Objective evidence in car accident claims can include police reports, eyewitness testimony, and even tire marks to serve as proof. When slip and fall accidents occur, however, it is often the plaintiff’s word against the defendant’s.
Handling the insurance company: Insurance companies are for-profit businesses, which means that paying claims are unwanted expenses. They will fight to avoid paying a claim at all costs.
Comparative fault: Texas is a modified comparative negligence state. This means that, if you are found to be partly to blame for your injuries, your compensation could be reduced by the percentage you are believed to be at fault.
