These health statistics show that “falls are serious and costly.” If you have fallen recently, you may agree that the bills are racking up fast and you need help fast.

We can let you know which of the current premises liability laws apply to your situation. For example, did your slip-and-fall accident take place at a business? The property owner or manager may be liable.
What is the attorney who sues for the plaintiff called?
The plaintiff is the person who is suing someone in a lawsuit–so you as the victim would be the plaintiff if you decide to go to court. Your plaintiff lawyer is the personal injury lawyer representing you to sue for damages.
How do plaintiff attorneys get paid for slip and fall cases?
Premises liability attorneys only get paid if and when the plaintiff receives their compensation. In other words, if you win your case, we take a percentage of the settlement.
Our law firm covers the costs of the case until it’s settled. If the case is unsuccessful, you do not have to pay us anything.
When to Contact a Slip and Fall Lawyer?
Accident claims are most successful when the injured person contacts a law firm fast. If you are injured on someone else’s property, your attorney can find out if the owner is liable and prove it.
When does the law hold the owner accountable for someone else’s medical bills?
Imagine a man walks up the stairway of an office building. He doesn’t realize that the pieces of the steps are missing in some places. He slips and falls.
Or, a woman is shopping for groceries and an aisle wall falls down on her. Though the shelving had been known to be leaning for a while, no one had taken action soon enough.
In either case, the property owners may be guilty of negligence. They should have repaired the defective steps or shelving right away. These dangerous conditions led to property guests being injured on the property.
Property owners are responsible for accidents when they fail to keep their properties safe. If this was the case with your slip-and-fall, then you deserve compensation.
