Dallas Slip and Fall Injury Attorneys
Slips, trips, and falls are among the most common premises liability claims in Dallas. Whether you were hurt in a supermarket in Lake Highlands, a restaurant in Deep Ellum, or an apartment stairwell in Oak Cliff, McMahon Dean can pursue accountability when negligence caused your injuries.
Common Causes of Slip/Trip and Fall Injuries
Wet or slick floors without warning signs, uneven sidewalks or potholes in parking lots, poor lighting on stairways, cluttered aisles, loose mats or carpeting, and indoor "ice" from leaking coolers or freezers-these hazards appear everywhere from Uptown retail to Far North Dallas big-box stores. If a business fails to correct or warn about a dangerous condition, they can be held responsible.
Injuries from Falls
Even a "simple" fall can cause serious harm: broken hips and wrists, herniated discs, concussions, and long-term back pain. Seniors, delivery workers, and service employees are especially vulnerable. We document every diagnosis and the impact on your daily life-from missed work to ongoing therapy.
Proving Negligence in a Slip and Fall
To win, we show the owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to fix it or warn you. McMahon Dean moves quickly to secure surveillance footage, incident reports,
inspection logs, and witness statements. If a spill sat for 30 minutes with no cleanup, that's evidence of negligence.
Against Big Insurance: Our Approach
Property insurers love to blame victims-your footwear, your cell phone, your "lack of attention." We build a fact-driven case with photos, time-stamped maintenance records, and
expert analysis to keep the focus where it belongs: on dangerous conditions and poor safety practices.
What Our Clients Say
"I do not refer cases to many lawyers because I want to make sure that the clients are properly cared for and that the attorneys are willing to try the case if necessary. Cameron and Cullen will do both! They will care for you and leave no stone unturned in their pursuit of justice."
- Caleb M.
"Honestly I will never be able to put into words what Mr. McMahon did for me. I lost a horse due to a preventable equipment malfunction due to lack of integrity of a company. He listened to me when others found my case “too unique”, fought for what was right and always stayed in touch so I knew what to expect. At the end of the day it’s not about the money, it’s about holding people accountable for things that cause others harm and I am so grateful to have McMahon for that."
- Allisa B.
"I have personally worked with both Cullen and Cameron over the years. If you are looking for lawyers that provide excellent legal representation with a caring, personal approach - look no further than McMahon Dean, PLLC."
- Ben D.
"Cameron Dean and Hailey have been amazing in working my case. They work extremely hard and are always there to answer my questions and guide me into next steps. They let me know what is always going on so I’m never in the dark. The communication alone is so refreshing and not something you get from most law firms. 10/10 recommend. If you are unsure on your next steps call them and ask for Cameron and he will definitely help you."
- Fay M.
Slip & Fall FAQs
The store didn't create an incident report-can I still bring a claim?
Yes. We can prove your presence and the hazard through receipts, video, and witnesses.
I was wearing heels/flip-flops-will they blame me?
They may try. Texas comparative fault can reduce damages, but unsafe conditions are the core issue-we fight that blame game.
Do I really need a lawyer?
Premises cases are evidence-heavy and often denied. A lawyer increases your chance of a fair recovery.
What if it happened at my apartment?
Landlords can be liable for hazards like broken stairs or poor lighting.
How long will this take?
Clear-liability cases may settle in months; disputed cases can take longer. We're trial-ready if needed.
