Slip and fall accidents can occur anywhere, but most people think of these mishaps as taking place at a grocery store, restaurant, or a neighbor's home and other types of private property. When an injury occurs on someone else's property, you can sometimes sue for compensation for the damages you suffer. But what about slip-and-fall accidents on government property?
Slip and fall cases are often complex to navigate, but sustaining an injury on government property introduces extra layers of complexities to an already difficult situation. Some of these are strict and shortened deadlines to file a lawsuit and caps on the amount of compensation you can recover.
The good news is that you will likely be able to hold the government accountable if you can demonstrate negligence by using premises liability law. However, to be successful, we strongly recommend that you work with a capable Morgan and Morgan personal injury lawyer with expertise in this sort of litigation. Otherwise, you may lose your right to recover damages by making a mistake in timing or not following the rigid requirements for making a claim for slip and fall accidents on government property.
