Wet Floor Accident Accidents in West Texas

Wet Floor Accident accidents in West Texas frequently occur along major corridors including I-20, I-10, US-385, SH-191 (between Midland and Odessa). West Texas encompasses a vast region including Midland, Odessa, El Paso, and surrounding communities, with a combined population of over 1.5 million residents

High-risk accident areas in West Texas include I-20 between Midland and Odessa (one of the most dangerous stretches of highway in Texas due to oil field truck traffic), SH-191 between Midland and Odessa, US-285 in the Permian Basin (known as the "Death Highway" for its high fatality rate), I-10 through far West Texas (long distances, high speeds, limited emergency services), SH-302 near Kermit and Wink (heavy oil field traffic). If you have been injured in a wet floor accident accident near any of these locations, our attorneys can help.

  • The Permian Basin is the most productive oil-producing region in the United States, and oil field truck traffic has made West Texas highways among the most dangerous in the country
  • US-285 in the Permian Basin saw such a dramatic increase in fatalities that it earned the nickname "Death Highway," prompting state and federal safety interventions

Understanding Wet Floor Accident Cases

Common Causes

  • Recently mopped floors without warning signs or barriers
  • Spilled food or drinks in grocery stores and restaurants
  • Leaking refrigeration units or ice machines in stores
  • Tracked in rainwater near building entrances
  • Produce section misting systems creating slippery floors
  • Restroom floors with pooled water and no absorbent mats

Typical Injuries

  • Hip fractures from hard falls on tile or concrete
  • Head injuries from striking the floor or shelving
  • Wrist fractures from bracing during the fall
  • Tailbone and lower back injuries
  • Knee injuries from twisting during the slip
  • Shoulder dislocations and rotator cuff tears

Establishing Liability

The critical question in wet floor cases is whether the business knew or should have known about the wet condition and failed to clean it up or post warnings. Evidence of how long the liquid was on the floor before the fall, whether employees were in the area, and whether the store had a regular inspection routine are all important factors. Surveillance video showing the spill forming and employees walking past it without acting provides powerful proof of constructive notice.

Relevant Texas Law

Texas premises liability law requires business owners to exercise reasonable care to keep floors safe for customers, including conducting regular inspections and promptly addressing spills. Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 101.0215 addresses slip and fall claims against governmental entities that operate public buildings. The comparative fault standard under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 33 allows the defense to argue the plaintiff should have noticed the wet floor, making documentation of the lack of warning signs essential.
