Trip and Fall Accidents

While it's not strictly necessary, keeping good record of how and why the incident occurred will greatly help in showing the Defendant was negligent and that you are injured as a result.

It's important to:

• Take photographs of the hazard after the incident.
• Save the footwear you were wearing at the time.
• Seek medical attention to document your injuries.
• Collect receipts for any treatment or related expenses.

While it might seem cost-effective to represent yourself, insurance companies often offer lower settlements to unrepresented individuals. They may exploit your lack of legal knowledge to undervalue your claim. A trip and fall lawyer knows how to gather evidence, negotiate effectively, and, if necessary, take the case to court to secure the compensation you deserve. In almost all cases, the additional compensation obtained with legal representation outweighs the legal fees, and you will never go out of pocket.

The amount varies depending on your injury and its impact. You may receive compensation for:

• Pain and suffering
• Lost wages or reduced earning capacity
• Medical expenses and future care
• Out-of-pocket costs

Every case is unique, so speak to one of our trip and fall lawyer for a personalized evaluation.

In most cases, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim. However, cases involving minors or government-owned properties may have different deadlines. Acting quickly ensures critical evidence is preserved.

If unsafe conditions like significant potholes or unsecured signage caused your fall, you might have a claim.

However, for government-owned properties, strict notification deadlines often apply, so it’s crucial to contact us promptly.

Our team handles every aspect of your claim, ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve.
