Our El Paso Premises Liability Lawyer Assists Clients with Serious Slip & Fall Cases
Premises liability describes the legal responsibility of property owners, both residential and commercial, to keep visitors reasonably safe while on their premises. When property owners act negligently, it can result in severe injury. One of the most common injuries to occur under the premises liability umbrella is a slip and fall. Slip and falls (also known as slip, trip, and falls) are often the result of the property owner’s negligence. Despite this, however, many individuals who suffer such accidents are hesitant to pursue legal action.
Contrary to popular belief, slips and falls often result in severe, painful, and sometimes lifelong injuries, including brain trauma, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, and internal organ damage. In fact, falls account for the largest number of traumatic brain injury cases in the nation. At Harmonson Law Firm, our El Paso premises liability lawyer is committed to holding the offending party accountable when their negligence causes you harm. We make it our mission to promote public safety, as well as a fair recovery for every individual.

Common Causes of Slip & Fall Accidents
Over one million slip-and-fall accidents are reported in the United States every year and New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona residents have certainly seen their fair share of such incidents. Typically, the commonality in these types of cases is that injuries are often serious because of the surprise factor of encountering a hazardous area. Unfortunately, negligent property owners are often not held accountable for their oversights until someone is hurt on their premises.
Some of the most common causes of slip and fall injuries that can be attributed to property owner negligence include but are not limited to:
- Snow and ice accumulation
- Improperly marked wet floors
- Uneven or loose surfaces
- Unnecessary excessive clutter
- Dangerous construction
- Recently mopped/waxed floors
- Parking lot potholes
- Unsafe stairs
- Torn carpeting/broken floors
- Improper employee training
While blameless accidents do occur, property owners have a responsibility to keep their premises reasonably safe for visitors. When they fail to do so, they may be held liable for your injuries, ongoing medical expenses, lost wages, and more.
