Djiba Law – Helping You Get Fair Compensation After a Fall Injury
Have you or someone you care about been hurt in a slip and fall accident in Round Rock, TX? These accidents are more serious than most people think. A sudden fall on someone else’s property can lead to huge medical bills, lost income, and ongoing pain. The good news is you may be entitled to compensation if another party’s negligence caused your injuries.
At Djiba Law, we focus on Slip and Fall Accidents and related premises liability claims in Round Rock and nearby communities. Our team helps people get compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
Why Slip and Fall Accidents Are So Serious
Slip and fall accidents happen all over Round Rock — in stores near Round Rock Premium Outlets, at parks like Old Settlers Park, in office buildings around La Frontera, or on uneven sidewalks in neighborhoods like Forest Creek and Shadowglen. A wet floor, broken step, or poorly maintained walkway can change your life in seconds.
Here’s the thing most people miss: even if your fall seems minor at first, injuries can show up later. Head trauma, back injuries, or soft tissue damage may not be obvious right away. You need someone who understands how to document your injury, build your case, and fight for your rights.
What Is a Slip and Fall Accident?
A slip and fall accident happens when someone slips, trips, or falls because of a dangerous condition on someone else’s property. Under Texas premises liability law, property owners and managers must keep their premises in reasonably safe condition or warn visitors about dangerous conditions. If they fail to do that and you’re hurt, they may be legally responsible for your losses.
What counts as a dangerous condition could include:
- Wet, slippery floors without warning signs
- Broken or cracked sidewalks
- Loose carpeting or mats
- Poor lighting in parking lots or stairways
- Missing or broken railings
- Debris or clutter in walkways
How Slip and Fall Cases Work in Texas
Here’s how these cases are usually evaluated:
- Duty: The property owner owed you a duty to keep the property reasonably safe.
- Breach: They failed to fix or warn about a known danger.
- Causation: Their failure caused your fall.
- Damages: You suffered real losses, like medical bills or lost income.
Texas also has a rule called comparative negligence. That means if you were partially at fault — like looking at your phone when you slipped — your compensation might be reduced. If a court finds you were more than 50% responsible, you may not recover anything at all.
How We Help Injured People in Round Rock
When you work with Djiba Law, we put your needs first. Here’s how we support you step by step:
- Immediate Case Review and Investigation
We start with a free consultation. You tell us what happened, and we help you understand your legal options. Then we gather evidence like:
- Photographs of the scene
- Incident reports
- Medical records
- Witness statements
- Property maintenance and inspection logs
This documentation matters when proving that the property owner was negligent.
- Determining Liability
Not all falls are clear-cut. You might think the property owner should be responsible, but insurance companies will argue otherwise. We look closely at notification logs, maintenance records, and witness accounts. This helps us show the owner “knew or should have known” about the hazard that caused your fall.
- Filing Your Claim
We file a claim with the at‑fault party’s insurer and push for fair compensation. This includes:
- Medical bills and future treatment costs
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering and emotional impacts
- Negotiating or Litigating
Most cases settle out of court, but if an insurer won’t make a fair offer, we prepare your case for trial in Williamson County district court. Early legal help matters because evidence can fade and witnesses may be harder to find over time.
Areas We Serve in Round Rock
Our team helps people across Round Rock, including:
- Downtown Round Rock

Whether your fall happened near busy shopping zones or quiet neighborhoods, we know the local terrain, businesses, medical facilities, and courts.
Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents
Accidents can happen anywhere, but some conditions come up more often:
- Wet floors without “Caution” signs
- Uneven or cracked parking lots
- Torn carpet or loose floorboards
- Obstructed walkways
- Poor lighting in stairwells
- Icy patches in winter
- Broken handrails
These hazards may seem small, but they can cause serious injuries.
Why Hire a Slip and Fall Lawyer?
Here’s the truth: insurance companies don’t want to pay more than they have to. They’ll try to downplay your injuries or say you were at fault.
Having a skilled personal injury lawyer means:
- You don’t negotiate with insurers alone.
- We collect strong evidence for your case.
- We calculate your future medical needs, not just what’s already billed.
- We handle communications so you can focus on healing.
And with Djiba Law, you only pay if we win your case, thanks to contingency‑based fees.

Frequently Asked
Questions
What is a slip and fall accident in Texas?
A slip and fall accident occurs when someone slips, trips, or falls on someone else’s property because of a dangerous condition that the property owner failed to fix or warn about. Premises liability laws apply.
What should I do right after a slip and fall in Round Rock?
Get medical treatment, document the scene with photos, report the incident to the property owner, gather witness info, and call a lawyer before talking to insurers.
How long do I have to file a claim?
In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Waiting too long can cost you your right to compensation.
Will my compensation be reduced if I was partly at fault?
Yes. Texas uses a modified comparative negligence rule. Your award may be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you. If you’re over 50% at fault, you may not recover anything.
What kind of damages can I recover?
You may recover economic damages (medical bills, lost wages) and non‑economic damages (pain and suffering). Severe injuries with long‑term effects can increase your claim value.
Do I need a lawyer if I was injured in a fall?
Most people benefit from legal help. Lawyers know how insurers work and can help you gather evidence, negotiate, and, if needed, take your case to court.
How much does a slip and fall lawyer cost?
At Djiba Law, you pay no upfront fees. We work on a contingency basis, so you only pay if we recover compensation for you.
