Common Causes

  • Ice forming on walkways and parking lots without treatment
  • Rainwater pooling at building entrances without drainage
  • Snow and sleet left uncleared on steps and sidewalks
  • Roof runoff creating icy patches on walkways below
  • Failure to apply salt or sand to icy surfaces
  • Mud and standing water on unpaved commercial property surfaces

Typical Injuries

  • Hip fractures from falling on icy concrete
  • Head injuries from slipping and falling backward
  • Tailbone fractures from landing on hard frozen surfaces
  • Wrist fractures from bracing against the fall
  • Back injuries from sudden impact with the ground
  • Knee dislocations from slipping and twisting

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.
