Are you dealing with injuries after a slip and fall?

People may joke about slip and fall lawsuits, but if you’ve been injured on someone else’s property than you know it’s no joke. Whether it’s a wet floor at Wal-Mart or a broken floor board at a restaurant, a single trip can lead to painful injuries. Victims experience high costs as medical bills from doctors and chiropractors pile up. Many tendon or muscle injuries need physical therapy in order to heal. Therapy can mean increased out-of-pocket-costs and lost wages at work.

If you’ve been hurt because of someone else’s negligence, you shouldn’t have to pay for your own medical treatment and emotional distress.

How Can I Tell If It’s a Good Case?

There are certain aspects that almost all slip and fall cases have in common:

• The accident occurred on someone else’s premises or property.
• This can be almost anywhere – a home, store, business, shopping mall, etc.
• The owner or maintainer of that property was negligent and didn’t maintain reasonably safe conditions.
• A grocery store may have an aisle spill that needs to be cleaned up. It makes sense for the floor to be wet afterwards, but the store is required to put a “Caution Wet Floor” sign up to make sure that customers are aware of the danger. Not putting up the sign can be a sign of negligence.
• Another example may be a substance that was spilled that management was aware of but did not clean in an appropriate and timely manner.
• Parking lots and sidewalks should be clear of debris.
• You were never warned.
• An area under construction or development should have signs telling customers what to expect.
• A slick or unsafe surface had not warning signs posted nearby.
