Types of Slip and Fall cases
The term ‘Slip and Fall’ applies to a broad range of cases. One does not actually have to “slip” in order to get money in these kinds of claims. Slip and Falls is a term applied to any time you fall down and hurt yourself as a result of someone else’s poor conduct. In other words, if you fall down because of someone else’s negligence, you have a valid slip and fall case.
Many slip and falls occur at or near people’s homes. For example, in the winter months, a slip and fall might happen near a home if you slip on ice in a driveway or walkway. If you fall down on ice near someone’s home, there is a good chance that the homeowner or landlord may be legally responsible for your injuries. Homeowners and landlords usually have a legal duty to ensure that their premises are safe for guests to walk around. If the pavement or steps were not properly salted, this means that your injuries were likely caused by someone else’s negligence.
Other slip and fall cases occur in or around businesses. For example, a slip and fall may occur at a shopping centre or in a grocery store. These businesses have a legal duty to safeguard the customers who use their facilities. For example, if you went to the mall and slipped on a liquid on the floor, the mall owner might be liable for your pain and suffering. Mall owners have a duty to make sure their staff clean up any obvious spills or liquids in a reasonable amount of time.
The same can be said of grocery stores. In a grocery store, if you fall down on spilled juice, for example, the grocery store owner could be legally responsible for your injuries. The business must ensure that its employees clean up any spills quickly so people like you do not get injured.
There are many other types of slip and falls as well. Construction companies or municipalities may also be responsible for slip and falls. For example, if tools or construction equipment were left lying around and you tripped over them, you could have a valid case for personal injury.
How we get you money for your slip and fall
Bungay Law goes to great lengths to get you money for your slip and fall claim. First, we carry out research as to who the correct owner of any property is. It is not always common knowledge who is the legal owner of the property where you fell. Our slip and fall lawyers carry out detailed research to ensure we know the right person or business to go after for compensation.
Once we determine who the responsible party is, we then find out the details of their insurance. In most cases, homeowners and businesses have insurance policies that provide money and coverage for injuries in slip and fall cases. Once we learn who the insurance company is, our slip and fall lawyers aggressively pursue the insurance company to get you a financial settlement.
If the insurance company does not agree to pay you a good settlement, our slip and fall lawyers sue them in Court. By suing the insurance company, we force them to pay costs to their lawyers to try and defend against our attack. Insurance companies hate to spend money. Often, if we make them hire lawyers to defend your case, they would rather pay you a settlement than incur huge legal bills.
Common Questions for a Slip and Fall Lawyer
How do I know if someone else is responsible for my injuries? How do I know if I have a case?
Whether or not you have a valid slip and fall claim can usually be determined by asking yourself the following question: “Could something have been done to prevent me from falling down?” For example, if you slipped on ice, the answer could be “Yes, if someone had put salt on this pavement, I would not have fallen down”. Or if you tripped over a power cord laid across a living room floor, the answer to that question would be “Yes, if this homeowner had not left his cord lying around, I would not have fallen down”.
If you are not sure whether or not you have a valid claim against someone, the easiest way to answer that question is to call us and get some free advice. We are here to answer your questions 24 hours a day, seven days a week, absolutely free of charge.
Will I have to go to Court to get money? I am not sure I want to go to Court.
In 95% of cases, you will not have to go to court in order to get money. In most cases, we can get you a money settlement for your slip and fall case without ever going to Court. We do this by negotiating with the insurance company for the person who is responsible for your injuries.
