EVANSVILLE SLIP AND FALL ATTORNEY

Falls can happen almost anywhere, but they often share the same root causes. In Evansville, common hazards include:

• Wet or freshly mopped floors without warning signs
• Icy parking lots or sidewalks
• Uneven pavement or broken steps
• Loose rugs or flooring
• Poor lighting in stairwells and hallways
• Missing handrails or faulty railings
• Spilled food or liquids in retail stores

Property owners and managers are required to address these dangers promptly. When they don’t, their negligence can lead to serious injuries and financial responsibility.

Your actions immediately after the fall can protect both your health and your legal rights:

• Seek medical care right away, even minor pain could signal a serious injury.
• Report the incident to the property owner or manager and request written documentation.
• Take photos or videos of the hazard, your injuries, and the surrounding area.
• Get witness information from anyone who saw what happened.
• Contact an attorney before speaking with insurance representatives.

Our team can handle the rest: investigating the scene, collecting evidence, and building your case while you focus on recovery.

To hold a property owner accountable, you must show that:

• A dangerous condition existed on the property,
• The owner knew or reasonably should have known about it, and
• They failed to fix it or warn visitors in time.

Even if the owner posted a small warning sign, that may not be enough to avoid liability. Our attorneys know how to gather surveillance footage, maintenance records, and witness testimony to prove negligence.

Like most personal injury cases, slip and fall lawsuits in Indiana must be filed within a specific time limit, called the statute of limitations. Missing that deadline can permanently bar your claim. Because exceptions apply in certain cases, such as injuries on government property, it’s best to contact an attorney as soon as possible.

Our Evansville lawyers make sure your claim is filed correctly and on time so you don’t lose your right to compensation.

Indiana follows a modified comparative fault rule. This means you can still recover compensation even if you were partially responsible for the fall, as long as you were less than 51% at fault.

Insurance companies often try to blame victims by arguing they “should have been more careful.” We push back against these tactics to ensure responsibility lands where it belongs: on negligent property owners.

Falls can cause far more than bruises. Victims often suffer:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) or concussions
• Broken hips, wrists, or ankles
• Spinal cord and back injuries
• Torn ligaments and soft-tissue damage
• Chronic pain or mobility issues

While a slip or a fall may seem minor by definition, the consequences can be devastating.

Depending on your injuries, you may be eligible for damages such as:

• Medical expenses: Hospital bills, therapy, and future care
• Lost wages: Income missed during recovery
• Loss of earning capacity: Reduced ability to work long-term
• Pain and suffering: Physical and emotional distress
• Loss of companionship or enjoyment of life

We work with experts to calculate the full financial impact of your accident, not just the immediate costs.
