Slip And Fall Attorney in Evansville

If you slip and fall, you may blame your own clumsiness, but, in many cases, there is another factor at play, such as one of the following:

• Wet or icy surface
• Missing handrail
• Poor lighting
• Broken or missing step
• Pothole
• Defective balcony
• Poorly maintained sidewalk
• Building code violation
• Failure to display safety sign or warning

In situations such as these, the property owner could be at fault for your injury and ensuing expenses.

Generally speaking, the property owner is responsible for covering the costs of your injuries if the following statements are true:

• The property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition on their property.
• The property owner did not repair the dangerous condition or provide adequate notice to visitors regarding the dangerous condition.

In some cases, even if the property owner did post a warning, they could still be considered liable for the injury. The only way to know for sure is to speak with a Slip and Fall attorney who can tell you if you have a case.

A Slip and Fall lawsuit may seem straightforward, but, like any personal injury case, it’s actually fairly complex, and quite a bit of work goes into a successful lawsuit. An attorney and their team can take on all of these tasks on your behalf:

• Collecting evidence such as security footage and photographs
• Interviewing witnesses who saw the accident or the conditions that caused it
• Determining who is at fault for the fall
• Reviewing police reports and medical records
• Consulting with medical experts
• Building a persuasive case
• Negotiating with the other side for full and fair compensation
• Presenting your case at trial (if necessary)

If you were injured in a Slip and Fall, you could be owed compensation for the following damages:

• Medical costs
• Lost wages
• Loss of earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Any other damages related to your injury
