How We Prove Liability
Weather related fall claims require showing the property owner had a reasonable opportunity to address the hazard after the weather event. Property owners are not expected to prevent all weather related hazards instantly, but they must take reasonable steps to mitigate the danger within a reasonable time. Evidence of the property owner snow and ice removal policies, how long the weather condition existed before the fall, and whether other businesses in the area addressed the same conditions helps establish negligence.
Texas Legal Framework
While Texas does not experience as much ice and snow as northern states, freezing events do occur and property owners owe the same duty of reasonable care to address weather hazards. Texas premises liability principles require property owners to warn of or remedy known dangerous conditions, including weather related hazards on walkways and parking lots. Under Texas comparative fault law, the property owner may argue the plaintiff should have taken greater care in known icy conditions, making the facts of each case important.
Rain, ice, fog, and high winds contribute to thousands of car accidents on Texas roads every year. Many drivers assume that bad weather eliminates liability because "it was nobody's fault." That assumption is wrong. Texas law still requires drivers to exercise reasonable care under the conditions they face.
Property owners in Texas have a legal duty to keep their premises safe for visitors. When they fail to address dangerous conditions and someone gets hurt, the injured person may have a premises liability claim. Texas law defines different levels of duty depending on why you were on the property.

At Medina & Medina, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront and no fees unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery.
In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, there are exceptions that may shorten or extend this deadline, so it’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases, punitive damages. The amount depends on the specific circumstances of your case.
While you’re not required to have a lawyer, having experienced legal representation typically results in higher settlements. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working for them, and you deserve someone advocating for your interests too.
Compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and impact on your life. Contact Medina & Medina for a free evaluation of your case.
