Slip and Fall

Attorney

Why You Need a Local Hutto Slip and Fall Lawyer

Here’s the thing most people don’t know: proving negligence isn’t automatic. You have to show the property owner knew—or should have known—about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn you. That’s where an experienced lawyer makes a difference.

Djiba Law in Hutto, TX will:

• Investigate how your fall happened
• Collect evidence like medical records, accident reports, photos of the hazard
• Interview witnesses and analyze the site of your accident
• Handle communication with insurance companies
• Negotiate for a fair settlement
• Represent you in court if needed

We’ll help you take the confusion and stress off your plate so you can focus on healing.

Types of Slip and Fall Cases We Handle

Workplace Slip and Falls

If you slipped or fell at work, you may have both a workers’ comp issue and a legal claim outside workers’ comp.

Elderly Fall Injuries

These are especially serious and often involve broken hips, concussions, and long recovery times.

Catastrophic Injuries

Severe injuries like spinal damage, traumatic brain injuries, and long-term disability.

Insurance Negotiation

We deal with insurance adjusters so you don’t have to. They often try to pay the least amount possible. We push back.

What Is a Slip and Fall Accident?

A slip and fall accidenthappens when you trip, slip, or fall on someone else’s property because of unsafe conditions like a wet floor, uneven sidewalk, broken handrail, loose rug, or poor lighting. These are legally called premises liability claims.

Here’s the truth: slip and fall injuries can be serious. They can lead to fractures, head injuries, back pain, or worse—especially for older adults. And just because property owners didn’t mean harm doesn’t mean they’re not responsible.

How Our Process Works

Here’s how we’ll help you step by step:

1. Talk With Us (Free Consultation)

You pay nothing upfront. We’ll listen to what happened, review the details, and explain your rights.

2. We Investigate

We gather evidence—like medical records, photos, witness statements, accident reports, and expert opinions—to build a strong case.

3. Insurance Talks Begin

Insurance companies often deny or downplay claims. We know how to push back for fair offers.

4. Settlement or Trial

Most slip and fall claims settle out of court. But if insurance won’t play fair, we’re ready to take your case to trial.

5. You Get Paid

Once we win your case, you receive your compensation. We only get paid if you do.

Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents

Many falls happen because property owners fail to fix or warn about:

• Wet floors in stores
• Spills in grocery aisles
• Broken steps or staircases
• Poor lighting in parking lots
• Uneven sidewalks in neighborhoods like Hunter’s Crossing
• Loose floor mats or rugs
• Ice, snow, or rain hazards

These may seem minor, but they can cause major harm. If the owner didn’t fix or warn about the danger, you may be owed money.

Frequently Asked

Questions

Do I need a lawyer for a slip and fall in Hutto, TX?

Yes. A lawyer helps prove negligence, deal with tricky insurance adjusters, and fight for full compensation.

What if I was partly at fault for my fall?

Texas uses modified comparative negligence. You can still recover money as long as you are less than 51% at fault. Your payment will just be reduced by your percentage of fault.

How long do I have to file a claim in Texas after a slip and fall?

You generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. Missing the deadline could mean losing your right to compensation.

What if the property owner says the hazard was obvious?

This may affect your case, but it doesn’t automatically block compensation. We analyze every detail to argue whether the owner was truly negligent.

Will my case go to court?

Many cases settle outside court, but we prepare every case as if it will go to trial. If insurance won’t offer fair money, we’re ready to fight in court.

How much does hiring a lawyer cost?

We work on contingency. That means you owe nothing unless we win your case.
