It’s safe to say that Houston, among other Texas cities, doesn’t see a lot of snow. That said, Houston residents can travel to nearby states to enjoy the cooler weather. Unfortunately, not every skier’s vacation ends happily. Some Houston residents can come back to the Lonestar State with serious ski-related injuries.
Fortunately, there are ways for ski accident survivors like you to take action after serious accidents. If you think your accident stemmed from someone else’s bad behavior, you can take that offending party to civil court. Zinda Law Group can connect you with a ski accident attorney in Houston who can represent your best interests.
Our Texas personal injury lawyers have decades of combined legal experience under their belts. You can count on our team to defend your best interests whether you want to pursue private negotiations or a public trial.
Working With an Insurance Provider After a Ski Accident
Working with your insurance provider after a ski accident is often in your best interest. Insurance providers can usually help you estimate the total value of your losses. Depending on what kind of protection you have, you may even have the right to turn to your insurance provider for immediate financial support following an accident.
While we want insurance providers to help you after an accident, some may refuse. Some insurance providers may claim that ski accidents don’t fall within the protection you’ve invested in. Others may make you insufficient settlement offers in an attempt to get your case off of their dockets.
You don’t have to settle for a denied ski accident claim or a too-small settlement. The ski accident lawyers in Houston can appeal a denied claim on your behalf. If your insurance provider refuses to see reason, we can even take that provider to civil court.

What can you do to recover from a ski accident besides working with your insurance provider? You can file a personal injury claim against the party responsible for your accident. Before you can file a claim with a civil court, though, you need to know who to blame for your losses.
Evidence can make or break your ski accident claim. You need to have evidence of another party’s negligence on hand if you want to take that party before a civil judge. That said, contracts and waivers can also influence your right to bring certain parties to civil court. For example, some of the parties that can appear in your civil claim can include the following:
Ski Resorts
If you want to hit the slopes, you may have to work within the rules established by the nearest ski resort. Many ski resorts take particular precautions to avoid taking on accident liability should you get into an accident on their property.
Fortunately for you, the waivers you sign and the signs posted around a ski resort don’t always relieve a ski resort of its responsibility for your care. If you get into an accident and believe that the resort’s negligence is to blame, you can work with our Houston, TX, ski accident lawyers to bring evidence of that negligence forward in civil court.
Ski Manufacturers
Skiing requires a lot of equipment. Your boots, skis, helmet, goggles, and poles must be properly made to safely navigate the slopes. If a manufacturer releases any of these products without appropriately testing them, they put your well-being at risk and violate the duty of care that they owe you.
Our attorneys can investigate accidents involving malfunctioning ski equipment to determine whether or not you have the right to hold that product’s manufacturer legally responsible for your injuries.
Other Skiers
Unfortunately, not everyone who takes to the ski slopes or trails is a naturally-talented skier. Your fellow skiers may be reckless or uncoordinated. Negligence on their part can cause dangerous accidents and compromise your ability to take care of yourself.
If you think another individual bears the blame for your recent ski accident, you can let an attorney know. Zinda Law Group can investigate that individual’s behavior and take them to civil court on your behalf.

If you want to hold other parties liable for your ski accident losses, you need to bring forward evidence of those parties’ misconduct. This means that you should submit some combination of the following, alongside other forms of data, when you bring your ski accident claim before a civil judge:
What’s more, your personal injury claim needs to be made before a civil judge within Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code section 16.003 – Texas’s personal injury statute of limitations. This statute limits your actionable time after a ski accident to two years. If you can’t submit a claim within that two-year period, Texas’s courts may deny you your right to accident compensation.
Your Right to Ski Accident Compensation
Speaking of your right to accident compensation, what kind of financial support can you expect from the party liable for your losses? That depends on the losses you endured in your ski accident. Our ski accident lawyers in Houston, TX, can help you find the combined value of economic and non-economic losses, including the following:
- Ski accident medical expenses
- Emergency care
- Long-term pain management
- Mobility aids
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Lost wages or opportunities for employment
- The restoration of damaged property
- Mental anguish
- Stress
