  • What if I'm Not Yet Sure if I've Been Seriously Injured?

    One of the most common reasons for waiting to file for compensation is that you don't realize the full scope of your slip and fall injuries until much later. In the wake of the accident, it might not seem as though you've been seriously hurt, but you might begin to experience symptoms after the fact. This is a common situation for plenty of slip and fall injury victims. After an accident, make sure to get medical attention, attend all medical appointments necessary, and report any changes in your medical condition to your doctor. This will help keep a solid record of how the accident has affected your life.

    Even if you feel fine immediately after the accident, it is much wiser to get medical attention and rule out any more serious injuries. The right attorneys may be able to help you navigate the legal components of your claim, but it is very important that you stay on track with all of your medical treatments. You may come to soon realize that you have many serious injuries and are unable to recover in full. 

    While it can feel like an uphill battle to get the support you need in a premises liability claim, you can rely on the experience of our slip and fall lawyers in Owensboro, KY, to answer all your questions and to keep you informed about what it takes to succeed in a case. We know there are many complex aspects and issues that can occur from the time you're injured to when your case finally resolves, and it's why we work hard to protect you. 

  • When Is Someone Else Responsible for My Slip And Fall Injury Claim?

    Owensboro, KY premises liability laws protect you when you have been hurt in an accident because of someone else's negligence. For a slip and fall accident, negligence can happen when someone fails to maintain their property safely. This can include a business owner, a government entity, or even a landlord. 

    When you slip and fall or trip and fall on someone else's property, you need to get medical attention immediately and inform the relevant parties that the accident happened. Be very careful after notifying someone that an accident happened on their property, as liable parties may try to discourage you from filing a lawsuit or ask you to resolve things outside of court. Likewise, a property owner or business may also ask you to sign paperwork that could potentially waive your legal rights. All of these mistakes can be extremely harmful to your premises liability claim. 

    The basis of a premises liability claim is that the other party had a legal responsibility to keep their property free and clear of hazards and, in failing to maintain this responsibility, exposed you and others to dangerous risks. If you can show that they knew about the condition on their property and failed to correct it, or should have known about the condition on their property and failed to take corrective action to limit its impacts, you may be able to file a lawsuit to hold them accountable for your injuries. The sooner you speak to a lawyer the better because many of these cases are extremely complex and require the insight of someone who is very familiar with personal injury and premises liability law. 

    At Morgan & Morgan, our attorneys have been through this process many times before and know what it takes to successfully recover compensation. We take each case seriously because we recognize that it may be hard for you to see the specifics of the case or understand what's next with compensation. We rely on our extensive experience to help craft compelling legal claims that help hold someone else responsible for the injuries that you sustained. Knowing that you are not alone is one of the most important components of any premises liability claim. 

    It can feel like it's going to be an uphill battle to try to hold the other party accountable for your injuries at first, but our lawyers know what it takes and how to prepare you for these kinds of legal claims. We'll sit down with you during an initial consultation to discuss some of your primary concerns about the lawsuit and help you recognize what materials need to be gathered in order to open the claim. You shouldn’t wait too long to file your premises liability claim, however, as you might exceed the statute of limitations and block your eligibility to get compensation for your injuries.

  • What Kind of Damages Can I Receive?

    The specifics of your case will determine the types of damages that you're entitled to receive, but many people who get really hurt in slip and fall accidents have common damages. These can include compensation for things like medical bills for your treatment and rehabilitation. 

    Only your personal injury or premises liability lawyer can tell you more about which damages in your case are most likely to apply towards recovery of compensation, which is why it is best to communicate with an attorney as soon as possible after you have been hurt. You may need to gather additional evidence or engage the services of expert witnesses or other physicians in order to tell the full story.

    During your initial case evaluation with Morgan & Morgan, bring any evidence of your current damages, as this will help us to determine the scope of your lawsuit. You and your attorney can then discuss various avenues for resolving your legal case, especially as it relates to settlement. Many premises liability claims in Kentucky do resolve outside of court, especially when all parties are invested in finding a resolution that allows the victim to move on with their life and get compensation for the damages they've already sustained and ones they will suffer in the future. It is our job to present a compelling case with strong evidence about how your life has been changed by the accident in order to showcase to the other side why a settlement offer is in their best interests. 

  • What Can Owensboro, KY Slip and Fall Injury Lawyers Really Do?

    Premises liability attorneys are highly experienced at gathering information in premises liability claims, protecting the legal rights of victims in communication with insurance companies and other entities, and filing lawsuits to assist those victims in recovering compensation. There is a lot to think about after you've been hurt in a serious slip and fall accident, and our Morgan & Morgan attorneys make it easy for you by handling all of the legal aspects of your claim and filing the relevant documentation with the courts. This can also help you to avoid many early mistakes in your case to protect your legal rights to maximum recovery. 

    We help guide you through each aspect of your legal claim and explain to you what's happening at each phase so that you can feel confident about your decisions. We recognize that there is a lot to think about after a slip and fall accident, but you cannot afford to make mistakes that could block your eligibility to recover compensation. Communicating with attorneys sooner rather than later puts you in the best possible position to make a full recovery.

  • When Do I Need to File a Claim?

    You need to open a Kentucky slip and fall claim within two years of the date of the accident. You can certainly file a lawsuit sooner than that if you wish to do so, and it's recommended that you file right away to give yourself the best possible opportunity for a good outcome in your life.
