You can file a personal injury claim against the property owner after a slip and fall accident, but you must show that the property owner’s negligence contributed to or caused your slip, trip or fall.

Slip and fall cases can be extremely difficult to win without the help of an experienced personal injury attorney. In order to have a successful claim, your lawyer must prove the property owner failed to perform their duty, and as a result of that negligence, you suffered harm or damages. Many property owners will deny being 100 percent at fault and will instead say the slip and fall accident was partially your fault. That’s why you need a knowledgeable personal injury attorney in your corner to protect your rights and aggressively advocate for your best interests.
While you’re not legally required to have an attorney for a slip and fall, having an attorney often helps you recover much more than you would have recovered handling your case on your own. If you represent yourself, you’re held to the same standards that the attorneys have to follow. The court rules can be unforgiving. However, when you have an attorney, they not only help you avoid mistakes that can hurt you, but they help you maximize your compensation at every step in the case.
To prove negligence in a slip and fall, you retrace the series of events that lead up to the accident. You show whose actions made the accident occur. Then, you show how those actions do not live up to the actions of a reasonable person. Proving negligence in a slip and fall means gathering the evidence to prove that the accident is the other side’s fault. You carefully show the series of events and show how the actions of the other side were not careful compared to a reasonable person.
You cannot sue your employer for a slip and fall. However, you can receive workers’ compensation for your injuries. You may be able to bring a lawsuit if your employer doesn’t treat you fairly under the workers’ compensation system. In addition, you may be able to bring a lawsuit if a third party, like a vendor or contractor, is responsible for your accident. You shouldn’t make assumptions about your rights when you’re in a slip and fall accident without speaking to an experienced attorney about your case.
You win a slip and fall settlement by building a strong claim and making a demand for recovery. In all cases, you must have the evidence to prove a valid claim under the law. Then, you approach the other side and demand a settlement. In many cases, you must file a lawsuit and proceed through formal development of the case. Winning a slip and fall settlement requires careful negotiations based on the strength of your case and the amount of your damages.
Yes, most slip and fall cases settle out of court. Usually, preparing a strong case and pursuing alternative dispute resolution with the other party is enough to resolve the case without going to trial. There may be court appearances that aren’t the same thing as a full trial. However, in the vast majority of cases, a slip and fall case settles out of court.
