Common Causes & Outcomes of Slip & Fall Accidents
Property owners, managers, and custodians should follow certain safety procedures to ensure that their property is free of dangerous hazards. This includes routinely inspecting the premises, promptly cleaning up spills, repairing broken flooring and handrails, providing adequate lighting in stairwells and parking areas, and posting clear warning signs when a hazard can’t be fixed right away. When property owners cut corners on these basic responsibilities, visitors and customers are the ones who end up paying the price, often with serious injuries.
Common causes of slip and fall accidents include:
- Slippery surfaces
- Bunched carpeting
- Uneven or broken flooring
- Loosely constructed staircases
- Damaged handrails
Slip and fall accidents can cause injuries to the spine, head, back, hip, and knees, leaving victims to pay expensive medical bills and therapy costs, even when they may be dealing with lost wages because they’re unable to report to work. Depending on the severity of your injuries, your claim may need to account for future medical care, long-term rehabilitation, and diminished earning capacity, not just the bills you’ve already received.

“Mr. Soileau represented me in a car accident that occurred in November 2014 where I suffered a herniated disc to my neck requiring surgery. After surgery the medical bills were piling up which caused me quite a bit of stress worrying about how all of the medical bills were going to get paid. As my case was complicated and took almost 2 years to work through, Mr. Soileau and his staff were very understanding of my situation throughout the whole ordeal. They took the time to answer my questions, assist with getting the appropriate medical care and kept me in the loop throughout the process. The outcome was much better than I expected. I highly recommend Mr. Soileau and will refer my family and friends if they ever find themselves in need of his services.”- J.N.

“We contacted Mr. Soileau after being rear-ended in Kemah, Texas. When we contacted Mr. Soileau we had no health insurance and we were not sure what to do. He helped us find doctors who would work with us and then went on to settle the case for the maximum amount of all insurance policies available.”- J.M.

“Right from the beginning, we felt like we had a champion in our corner. His entire staff was great to work with, and Chris never stopped fighting for us.

Thanks, Chris Soileau for doing such a fantastic job. The big check at the end was pretty nice too!”- Joey J.
