What to Do After a Slip and Fall Accident in Comal County, Texas

Slip and fall accidents can happen in an instant — at a grocery store, shopping center, restaurant, or even a neighbor’s property. The injuries, medical bills, and stress that follow can be overwhelming. If you’ve been hurt in Comal County, knowing what to do next can make all the difference. Slip and Falls greatly differ from the conventional car accident injuries and are very difficult claims/cases to handle. 

 

At the Law Office of Marco Sanchez, P.C., located in the Creekside area of New Braunfels, we’re here to guide you through the process and fight for your recovery.

Step 1: Seek Medical Care Immediately

Your health comes first. Even if you don’t feel badly hurt, injuries like concussions or soft tissue damage often show up later. Seeing a doctor right away documents your injuries and connects them directly to the fall — a crucial part of your case.

Step 2: Document the Scene

If possible, collect evidence right after the fall:

  • Take photos of the hazard (wet floor, uneven surface, broken tile, poor lighting).

  • Capture wide and close-up shots.

  • Gather witness names and contact information.

  • Report the incident to the property owner or manager, and ask for a copy of any incident report.

  • Take pictures of your shoes and garments that you are wearing at the time of the accident. 

These details help prove what caused your injuries.

Step 3: Don’t Talk to the Insurance Company Alone

Insurance adjusters may reach out quickly. They’re trained to minimize payouts. Do not give recorded statements or sign anything until you’ve spoken to a lawyer. Let your attorney handle communications so you don’t accidentally hurt your case.

Step 4: Keep Records of All Expenses

Hold on to:

  • Medical records and bills

  • Prescription receipts

  • Lost wage documentation

  • Transportation or rehab costs

  • Document how you feel each day after the incident

This helps build a complete picture of your damages.

Step 5: Know the Texas Rules and Deadlines

Slip and fall cases in Texas fall under premises liability law. To win, you must show that the property owner knew (or should have known) about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it.

Important points:

  • Texas has a two-year statute of limitations for filing a claim.

  • Texas follows modified comparative negligence — if you’re more than 50% at fault, you may not recover damages.

  • Acting quickly protects your rights and preserves evidence.
