Slip and fall cases are often dismissed as minor, but serious falls can cause spinal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and broken hips, resulting in long recoveries that keep people out of work for months. The physical and financial impact is very real.
Property owners and insurers know the stigma and use it to limit payouts, documenting the scene on their terms and making quick, low offers.
Garcia Sheppard investigates promptly, builds strong claims, and pushes back against lowball tactics.
Slip, trip, and fall injuries can occur on any property where a hazardous condition has been ignored or left unaddressed.
The location matters because it shapes who is liable and what legal standards apply. A fall at a privately-owned business is handled differently than one on government property. We know those distinctions and use them to build the strongest possible case for you.
Call us. We’ll give you a straight answer at no charge.
You tell us what happened and where it happened. We ask the right questions and give you an honest read on your case.
Evidence in premises cases disappears quickly. Surveillance footage gets overwritten, hazards get repaired, and incident reports get buried.
We document the hazard, research the property’s maintenance and inspection history, and build the record showing the owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition.
We account for all of it, your medical costs, lost income, future treatment needs, and the impact on your quality of life.
We take on the insurance company so you don’t have to. If a fair settlement isn’t offered, we are prepared to take your case to court.

Liability comes down to whether the property owner knew or should have known about the hazardous condition and failed to fix it or warn you about it. A free consultation is the best way to answer this question.
It can create challenges, but it doesn’t necessarily end your case. Gaps in documentation are something we work through regularly.
That said, if you haven’t seen a doctor yet, do so as soon as possible. An early medical record strengthens your case.
Filing deadlines vary by state and by the type of property where you fell. Cases involving government property often have shorter windows and additional notice requirements. Contact us as early as possible to ensure your options are protected.
