Legal Question in Personal Injury in Texas

My mother-in-Law fell in a local restaurant in October 2011 and had to be rushed to the ER. After arriving at the ER and test being done the Dr found that she had a broken upper arm that required surgery. The following Thursday she had surgery that required her to stay in the hospital for 2 additional days and about 4 months of therapy and home health. Due to the injury she had to live with her oldest son for 5 weeks and her youngest son and I for about 7-8 weeks and was not able to drive. After all of this she was terminated from her job as a caregiver, which she cannot return to due to her arm not being strong enough to lift people anymore. After all of this the restaurant's (wear she fell) insurance company notifies her that their libility coverage for medical is only $1000 and that they didn't find that the restaurant was liable for her fall. The reason for her fall from what when could tell was due to a gap between the cement and thresh of the bottom of the door and when she walked thru the door she tripped and as fell she grabbed the handle of the other door. We found her on the floor in between the two doors. My question: "Is the restaurant liable to pay all of her medical expenses due to this fall?" If the restaurant is liable how do we get a lawyer to help us? We have contacted most of the Personal injury attorney's here and we have yet to find an attorney to help us. Can you help us contact an attorney the can help her? It is possible she can not ever work again. She is 70!
