i slipped in water in a local bar.. the fall caused major bodily damage. I was still being served at the time. Do i have any legal rights to recover my loses?
If the injury occurred within the last 2 years, you have the right make a claim for your injuries. That doesn't mean you will win or get as much as you would like, but you still have a chance to recover your damages. The bar may take the position that you were so drunk that the injury was your fault, but that doesn't mean you should give up yet.
You have two years to file a lawsuit for injuries from a slip and fall in TX. You must be able to prove that the bar knew or should have known of the dangerous condition. Your ability to prevent the fall will come into play, so the level of alcohol you had may be of relevance. You should contact a local injury lawyer and discuss this matter. Best of luck.
