Video: Maximize Recovery After Slip & Fall Accident

Question:

How do I know if I have a slip & fall case?

Answer:

The law says that you have to prove that there's an unreasonably dangerous condition on the property where you had the accident. In other words, you have to have some documented evidence that there was some dangerous condition that caused the fall. And then you have to show that it was there for a certain period of time. So this can becomes complex and it can creates issues building a case. There are also new laws in effect. That if a person who brings one of these claims is found over a certain percentage fault for that accident, then they can't recover any money. So this creates some complexities in determining the strength of your case. The most common mistake that we see people involved in a slip and fall accident make is waiting to get an attorney involved. Valuable information like CCTV videos may get recorded over from the accident scene, things from the scene may change or get repaired, and witnesses’ memory do not get any better with time. All these things should be investigated, photographed, and archived, and witnesses need to be deposed in order to build a compelling case. The insurance companies do not always have your interests in mind after an accident. If you hire a personal injury attorney, the attorney has your interests and your interests alone in mind and wants to ensure that you are compensated for your damages. The second most important thing to consider is which attorney you contact and hire. You want to hire an attorney who specializes in personal injury and specifically slip, trip & fall accidents.

Question:

What if I have been told by another attorney that they don't have a slip & fall case?

Answer:

Just because you've been told by one attorney that you don't have the case doesn't mean that you do not. Never let someone stop your quest for justice if you have been injured by someone else's negligence. We frequently have people approach us that say "hey I've been told I don't have a case". We actually take most of those cases in and have the proven track records of getting good recoveries for many of those people, so you should consult with us about your case. We are willing to litigate slip, trip and fall cases when other attorneys are not willing to do that. We're willing to take that risk on for us, on a contingency fee, meaning if we don't recover for you, you never owe us anything. So, it makes sense to make the attempt to contact us. We see a lot of bad injuries with slip and trip and fall cases, so you should at least consult with us to see if you have a case. If you read some of our Google reviews, you will actually hear from some of our clients who we have done this for and they were thrilled with their recovery.

Hiring the wrong lawyer is something everyone should try to avoid. It is harder than you might think.
