Slip-and-Fall Lawyer Bryan, TX

Slip-and-fall accidents can happen just about anywhere and at any time. Their unexpected nature can make them fairly serious, resulting in injuries that require expensive treatment, involve lengthy recovery times, and prevent you from earning a living wage while you undergo medical care. If it can be shown that the owner of a property knew about but failed to address a hazard that caused you to slip and fall, they can be held liable for both economic and non-economic damages you’ve suffered.

Brian C. Gutierrez is a highly experienced, board-certified personal injury lawyer (a distinction that fewer than 2% of all Texas attorneys can boast) who has been serving the College Station and Bryan, TX communities for more than 17 years. He advocates on behalf of his clients and their families and will take on the insurance company to ensure that you’re compensated to the fullest possible amount. Should you receive a lowball offer or have your claim denied altogether, Brian won’t hesitate to argue in front of a judge.

In the state of Texas, the principle of “comparative negligence” is important when considering who is responsible for the injuries and financial damages caused by a slip-and-fall accident. If it can be shown that you were in some way at fault for the accident, the amount of your total payout will be reduced according to the degree to which you were responsible for the accident.

This means that if it can be shown that you were 25% responsible for the accident, your payout will be reduced by 25%. Unfortunately, the comparative negligence law means that if it can be shown that you were more than 50% at fault, you will not be awarded any compensation. This is why it’s best to work with an experienced slip-and-fall attorney like Brian C. Gutierrez.
