SLIP & FALL CASES
(Premises Liability)
Slip and fall accidents can occur anywhere people walk, but some locations are especially common.
Examples include:
-
Grocery stores, such as H-E-B, Kroger, Fiesta, or Randall’s
-
Gas stations and travel centers, such as Buc-ee’s or major convenience stores
-
Shopping malls, such as The Galleria, The Woodlands Mall, or First Colony Mall
-
Retail stores, including places like Walmart, Target, Costco, and Home Depot
-
Restaurants and fast-food chains
-
Apartment complexes and rental properties
-
Parking lots and sidewalks at businesses across Houston and Fort Bend County
These locations are just examples of how slip and fall accidents can and do happen in normal places just like these every day.
CEDILLO LAW FIRM
A slip and fall accident can turn an ordinary day into a painful, expensive, and frustrating experience. Whether it happens at a grocery store, gas station, restaurant, or apartment complex, property owners in Texas have a legal duty to keep their premises safe for visitors.
When they fail to do so, and someone gets hurt, that person deserves justice — and compensation.
At Cedillo Law Firm, we represent clients injured in slip and fall accidents throughout Houston, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Richmond, Rosenberg, Katy, Spring, and surrounding Texas communities.
These cases are serious, and we handle them with the urgency and strategy they require.
Where Slip and Fall Accidents Can Happen
What Causes a Slip and Fall?
Property owners must maintain safe conditions. When they don’t, hazards develop — and innocent people get hurt.
Common dangerous conditions include:
-
Wet or slippery floors
-
Unmarked spills or freshly mopped areas
-
Loose or torn carpeting
-
Broken or uneven stairs
-
Poor lighting in walkways
-
Cracked concrete or potholes in parking lots
-
Hidden obstacles or clutter in aisles
If you were injured because a business failed to address or warn about a known hazard, you may have a strong premises liability case.
How Premises Liability Works in Texas
Texas law requires proof that the property owner:
-
Created the dangerous condition,
-
Knew about the hazard and failed to fix it,
-
OR should have discovered it through reasonable inspection, and
-
That this hazard directly caused your injuries.
Slip and fall cases are among the most aggressively defended personal injury claims. Corporations and insurers often try to blame the injured person or deny knowledge of the hazard.
That is why acting quickly is crucial — evidence in these cases disappears fast.
Injuries we see in Houston-area Slip and Fall Cases
Slip and fall injuries can be life-altering. Clients throughout Houston, Sugar Land, Katy, and The Woodlands often suffer:

How Cedillo Law Firm Builds a Winning Case
Our firm handles these cases with the same intensity and preparation we bring to major personal injury claims. We investigate aggressively and preserve every piece of evidence available.
Our approach includes:
-
Preserving video footage from stores and businesses (often overwritten within days)
-
Documenting the hazard with photos, inspections, and measurements
-
Interviewing witnesses and employees
-
Requesting corporate safety policies and maintenance logs
-
Analyzing store cleaning procedures and inspection schedules
-
Working with medical specialists to document injuries
-
Using expert witnesses, such as accident reconstructionists and safety engineers, when needed
We routinely work with treating physicians, chiropractors, orthopedic surgeons, and physical therapists to build strong medical evidence for your case.

Why Local Experience Matters
Slip and fall cases in the Houston metro area often involve large corporate defendants with aggressive legal teams. We know their tactics, their defenses, and their standard procedures. Whether your fall occurred at a business in Sugar Land, a store in Katy, an apartment complex in Richmond/Rosenberg, or a shopping center in The Woodlands, local knowledge and courtroom experience matter.
We regularly handle cases involving major retailers operating in the region, such as:
-
H-E-B (example of a grocery environment with high foot traffic)
-
Buc-ee’s (example of a large travel center with constant spills and wet areas)
-
The Galleria (example of a busy shopping mall with multiple walking surfaces)
-
Big-box stores like Walmart, Target, Costco, and Home Depot (example retail environments)
Again — these are examples of places where slip and fall accidents commonly occur, not allegations against any specific location.
