People experience slip and falls and trip and fall accidents in a variety of ways. They can be caused by a spilled liquid, a faulty rug or carpet, ice and snow, and countless other ways. Sometimes they are simply due to the carelessness or inattention of the injury victim. Other times it can be due to the fault or negligence of a landlord, company, or other property owner, and that is when to hire a slip and fall lawyer.
Assuming fault can be established, then we look to whether or not personal injuries were sustained. Slip and fall claims should only pursued when there is in fact an injury, along with medical treatment.
Even if liability can be established, if the injuries are minor such as a bruise or cut, then the case is not worth pursuing. These cases can be hard to win so the injuries have to substantial and require medical treatment such as a rotator cuff tear, torn meniscus, broken bone, or other type of serious injury.
Insurance companies and their slip and fall lawyers fight these cases tooth and nail. Therefore, when to hire a slip and fall lawyer should only be considered when fault and damages can be established.
