Premises Liability / 
Slip and Falls

Our local and regional grocery stores have come to make up the backbone of our cities and schools. They support our communities through their extraordinary philanthropic giving/financial support. They are where we go Sundays after church, or to get that last supply for a child’s school project. Our grocery stores, however, have become targets for unscrupulous individuals seeking to capitalize on the most minor of slips. We are talking about minor slips/trips that occur thousands of times in our ordinary life. If this were to happen at your house or park, nobody would think anything of it. When they happen in one of our grocery stores, however, lawyers and plaintiffs seek to profiteer. Our attorneys have extensive experience defending Rio Grande Valley property owners, grocery stores and business owners from slip-and-fall cases.

​

​As in car accident cases, plaintiffs involved in slip and falls now go to doctors that specialize in collaborating with plaintiff’s attorneys in these types of lawsuits. These Rio Grande Valley and South Texas doctors own multiple (but differently named) clinics, which include MRI facilities and outpatient ER centers. These facilities charge outrageous, inflated amounts that no ordinary person would ever have to pay for medical expenses. These lawsuit doctors do so in a desperate bid to help plaintiff's lawyers to secure HUGE verdicts for even the most minor of cases. After tricking juries into believing outrageous, sham bills are “reasonable,” and after helping plaintiff's lawyers secure HUGE verdicts, these lawsuit doctors then write-down their bill and accept a small fraction of what they charged. The crazy part? This deception is completely legal in Texas. This scheme is such BIG BUSINESS in the Rio Grande Valley and South Texas that personal injury doctors are aggressive in advertising and making deals with plaintiff's lawyers.

​

Your Rio Grande Valley civil defense lawyers have achieved remarkable success trying these cases. More importantly, though, our team consistently resolves these cases efficiently and economically. Since our South Texas lawyers resolve over 95% of these cases without trial, our legal team tries to avoid costly (and many times needless) motion and discovery practice. TD Law’s reasonable approach is designed to pass on significant cost savings to our clients.​
