Slip and Fall

Do you have a slip and fall Injury?

A slip and fall injury occurs when a property owner does not take the necessary precautions to keep their property safe for people who travel on their property. A simple slip and fall accident can result in broken bones, large medical bills, and months of no income while you get better.

Compensation for a slip and fall injury is similar to all personal injury claims. Recovery may include payment for your Medical bills, lost wages, compensation for your pain and suffering, and even potential future medical expenses according to your slip and fall accident lawyer.

A million people have a slip and fall accident in America each year, and the average injury will cost the injured person $30,000.00 for current and future medical care and lost wages, requiring the help of a good slip and fall lawyer. The insurance adjuster will attempt to establish if there’s an injury and what your responsibility was in the fall. He may attempt to resolve (settle) the case immediately, which is a very good reason to have a slip and fall lawyer on your case. The adjustor may ask you a series of questions which you should have your slip and fall lawyer answer for you. 

Your slip and fall attorney can help you with questions such as, what is the extent or type of injury, and what were you doing just before the accident? You may need your slip and fall attorney to help you with any warnings that may have been ignored, or whether you had a reason for being in the area or not. It is generally not in your best interest to speak with the adjuster without having reviewed the specifics of your case with a slip and fall accident lawyer.

When you are in a slip and fall accident make sure to report the incident to the property management as soon as possible and make sure the report is filed. It is important to discuss all the factors of your case with your slip and fall attorney. You do not want to try and settle the claims until the full extent of your injuries are known.
