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.

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.
