Austin Slip & Fall Attorney
Fighting for Victims of Negligent Property Owners
A serious slip and fall can upend your life in an instant. But it's almost never just an "accident." It's the result of a property owner's negligence—a failure to clean up a spill, fix a broken stair, or provide a safe environment. Now, you face mounting medical bills and a fight against a property owner's insurance company that will do everything it can to blame you and deny your claim.
At Smith & Vinson Law Firm, we hold them accountable. Our award-winning trial lawyers are not afraid to take on large insurance corporations and property owners. We fight to recover the maximum compensation you are owed for your injuries, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
You pay us nothing unless we win your case. Call (512) 359-3743 for a free, confidential consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What should I do right after a slip and fall?
- Report it: Tell a manager or the property owner immediately so an official incident report is created.
- Document it: Take photos and videos of the hazard that caused your fall and the surrounding area.
- Get witness info: Get the names and numbers of anyone who saw you fall.
- Seek medical care: See a doctor right away, even if you feel okay. Some serious injuries take days to appear.
- Do NOT give a recorded statement or sign anything from an insurance adjuster. Call an attorney first.
How can I tell if a property owner is liable for my fall? Liability exists if the owner knew (or should have known) about a dangerous condition and failed to take reasonable steps to fix it or warn you. We will investigate to determine if they breached their duty of care.
How long do I have to take legal action after a fall in Austin? The Texas statute of limitations for personal injury is two years from the date of the incident. However, crucial evidence like surveillance video is often erased within days. It is critical to contact an attorney immediately to preserve evidence.
What kind of compensation is possible? We fight for compensation for all your damages, including current and future medical bills, lost wages and lost earning capacity, physical pain, mental anguish, and any disfigurement or impairment.

$810k Wrongful Death
Our client experienced every parent’s worst nightmare when an intruder entered the family’s home and attacked their young child. Hearing the struggle in the bedroom, the parent rushed in to fight off the attacker, but the child had already suffered catastrophic injuries. Despite being rushed to the hospital, the child later passed away.
Our Process: How We Fight for You
Our process begins with a free case evaluation and strategy session where we will listen to your story, review the evidence, and give you an honest, clear assessment of your case and your legal options. From there, we launch an immediate investigation to preserve critical evidence before it disappears, which includes sending legal notices for surveillance video, photographing the hazardous condition, and interviewing witnesses.
While we build your case, our team works closely with you and your doctors to calculate the full value of your claim, including all current and future medical bills, lost wages, and the full extent of your pain and suffering. Finally, we move to aggressive negotiation and litigation, sending a powerful demand package to the insurance company. We negotiate from a position of strength, and if they refuse to pay what your case is worth, our trial lawyers will file a lawsuit and take them to court.
