Who is Liable?

Property owners hold a responsibility to ensure their premises are reasonably safe. Visitors must be warned if a hazard is present, such as slippery floors or uneven walking surfaces. Hazards such as wet floors must be resolved as quickly as possible. A property owner who was aware of a hazard, or should have been aware, and does not act to resolve it may be held liable in a slip and fall injury case. The first step is to speak with McCraw Legal Group to learn how to pursue justice and fair compensation.

Where a Slip and Fall Injury Can Happen

Slip and fall injuries can occur at various locations around Amarillo, including:

Commercial Premises

Whether a restaurant, bar, shopping mall, business, parking lot, or hotel, the owner of a property open to the public is responsible for ensuring safety measures will protect visitors and guests from harm. 

Private Properties

Homeowners also have a duty to take reasonable precautions to ensure the safety of guests. They open themselves to liability in personal injury cases when a home or other private property has slip and fall hazards.

Public Property

Parks, public pools, and all government buildings and facilities should be maintained to be reasonably safe for visitors.
