Why A Slip and Fall Attorney?

​

If you slip and fall on someone else's property, the property owner may be liable for your injuries if negligence on their part can be established. While there is no precise way to determine when someone else is legally responsible for your slip or trip and fall, these Premise Liability cases depend on whether the property owner acted responsibly so that slipping or tripping was not likely to happen, and on whether you exercised caution as well. Establishing liability for falls can be a complex process which requires the expertise of a proven slip and fall lawyer like Sid. 

​

Insurance Companies Act in Their Best Interest, Not Yours. Why Not Have an Expert on Your Side? 

After a fall, the process of filing an insurance claim and determining liability can be long and complex. The insurance companies that represent the owner of the premises have experienced lawyers and adjusters whose job is to pay as little as possible (or nothing at all) on claims, and to try to get you to accept a quick, and often insufficient, settlement for your injuries and damages.

​

As your attorney, Sid can help you obtain medical treatment for your injuries, take the legal and administrative burden of your accident off of you, and advocate on your behalf with the insurance companies to ensure your best possible financial recovery .

What is Premises Liability Law? (Slip & Falls, Trip & Falls)

​

Premises Liability law is a type of Personal Injury law in which an injury was caused by some type of unsafe or defective condition on someone's property due to the property owner's failure to use reasonable care in connection with the property. In this area of law, like in many others, case law determines whether you have a good claim or case. In previously litigated cases, the courts have determined certain elements need to be present in order to be successful bringing a claim or case against a property or premises owner. 

Personal Responsibility 

Premises Liability claims or cases always have a percentage of personal responsibility built in.  In other words, you will be partially responsible for your fall. Factors such as what you were wearing, what you had in your hands, your weight, and your age at the time of the fall play into the argument for whether the property owner may be liable for your fall and may owe you monetary compensation for your injuries and damages.

​

Recoveries 

In our experience and in general terms, depending on the injuries, slip or trip and fall matters can yield a reasonable amount of financial compensation if negligence is established. However, a large part of these falls turn out to be what the Insurance Adjustors deem “soft tissue injuries" if no fractures or lacerations occur as a result. The cases that yield the most financial compensation are those in which the client suffers fractures, lacerations or any other type of permanent injury.
