A slip and fall injury can happen in an instant. You might walk over an icy patch on your neighbor’s sidewalk or slide on a wet floor at the grocery store. You are standing one second, and the next, you are on the ground.
Slip and fall injuries are not always apparent right after your fall. Your adrenaline can mask them, or they can take time to manifest themselves. The end result, however, can be chronic pain and/or a debilitating injury that keeps you from being able to work for a long time.
In a legal sense, a slip, trip, or fall injury results from the actions or negligence of another party (a person, an organization, or a company). If this is the case, you can sue that party for money to cover your medical expenses (past and future) as well as lost wages. In many cases, you can also request money to compensate you for the emotional stress of the situation.
Just like you would not attempt to perform surgery on yourself or rewire your home without an electrician, neither should you attempt to represent yourself in court after a slip, trip, or fall injury. For one thing, you do not have formal training or experience in the law. For another, you are under great stress and may be in pain.
Simply, you are not at your best right now. You need help. Our skilled, knowledgeable, and compassionate attorney can help you get the compensation you need to set your life back on track again.
