Millions of people in the United States suffer slip and fall injuries every year, with some leaving the victims with life-altering injuries that they carry with them for the rest of their lives. Whether it’s at home, work, or in a public place, the nature of these injuries causes significant pain, discomfort, and frustration. Some of these accidents are just that—complete accidents—but others are the result of poor maintenance or the negligence of a third party. It might not be apparent at first, but after an investigation of the hazard that caused your accident, you might discover that your situation could have been prevented, and you didn’t have to suffer through the pain.
Once you’ve received medical attention for your injuries, you should start to consider filing a lawsuit against the negligent or careless party responsible for the hazard that resulted in your injuries. If you have no prior experience, you might wonder, “Are slip and fall cases hard to prove?” The answer is—it depends. You’ll have to prove a few things first, like that the party overseeing the area where your accident occurred failed to respond in a timely manner. The term “reasonable amount of time” is often used during these cases, and establishing that the negligent party failed to respond in a “reasonable amount of time” is difficult, to say the least.
That’s why an attorney is recommended after an accident of any degree. Minor accidents can still leave you with painful injuries, and in some cases, the damage won’t present itself until long after the situation itself. With a comprehensive medical evaluation and an attorney by your side, you have a better chance of recovering damages for those future pain that could significantly influence your way of living. This can be priceless after a slip and fall accident, especially in a severe case, but you should know that not all attorneys can guarantee an elevated chance of success without expensive retainer fees.
