Who Is At Fault for a Fall?
Determining fault in a slip-and-fall accident depends on a variety of factors unique to a given case. If you fell because of a wet floor at the grocery store, the store owner may not be liable if there was a wet floor sign. The owner of that store may also not be liable if he or she wasn’t aware of the dangerous condition present or was taking steps to remedy that problem. You would also have to show that you were on the premises legally and were not trespassing when the accident took place.
What Is the Duty of Care?
Under Texas law, the duty owed by a San Antonio property owner or the person who controls how the property is used depends on the type of visitor you are at the time of injury. For example, a grocery store owner owes an invitee a duty to exercise reasonable care to protect the invitee from those risks of which the owner is actually aware and from those risks of which the owner should be aware after reasonable inspection. The duty to a licensee is different. A property owner’s friends and family are generally treated as licensees.
What Recourse Does San Antonio Fall Victims Have?
It may be possible to obtain compensation after slipping and falling. A San Antonio property owner may be liable for paying medical bills incurred either in the immediate aftermath of the fall or in the future. It may also be possible to be compensated for lost wages and future earnings if you are unable to work.
The family members of those who are killed in a fall may wish to file a wrongful death suit to collect compensation on behalf of the victim. Depending on the circumstances of the case, it may be possible to settle a case out of court in a matter of weeks. However, a personal injury case may take months or years to resolve in complicated cases.
You can slip and fall anywhere and at any time. In an instant, you could be injured to the point where you can’t work or enjoy time with your family. Fortunately, Patrick Toscano, our San Antonio slip and fall lawyer, can help you obtain compensation to make it easier to provide for yourself and your family going forward.

THE BEST! Patrick Toscano is the best! Very attentive, amiable and argued my most recent case with such precision, that it created paper shuffling by opposing counsel. Needless to say that my case turned out better than I could’ve hoped for! I’ve been conducting business with Esquire Toscano for well over 10 years and within all SPECTRUMS OF THE LAW. I have always received favorable results; e.g. probate, business, contract, employment, family, trademark and patents. As a local prominent business owner, I will continue to refer my business associates, family members and everyone I know to Patrick Toscano, respectively. Additionally, In giving advice, Patrick is a “Social Engineer” and always steers his clients down the high road; not succumbing to legal parasitic tactics. I feel that he genuinely looks after my best interest as a trusted Lawyer-and has most definitely earned my respect, trust and this “Glowing Review!”
At a time that I had suspected that justice would not be served for a situation as common as mine, Patrick Toscano was introduced to me by my father. Without a doubt I immediately began to acknowledge him as a professional and eager man. He worked diligently to assure that my case was handled and resolved in the correct way. I had a lot more hope for my case than I initially felt because I had complete trust in Patrick that he would get me as much medical help and compensation that I deserved and of course he did just that! I have so much gratitude towards Patrick and I recommend anyone to consider working along side this man.
