Personal Assistance with a Slip and Fall Attorney

A slip and fall attorney isn't just for the fragile or those whose strength and reflexes are compromised. There are many unforeseen opportunities to lose your balance in life. You could be on the street, in a store, a museum, a restaurant or a friend's home. What will you do when you discover that your tumble and subsequent injury is the fault of the negligence of street workers, store employees, or misaligned construction?

A slip and fall attorney works to help you in two ways. He or she will help you realize that you shouldn't have to pay financial, physically, and emotionally for an accident that could have been prevented by someone else. Even a warning of potential danger could have saved you time and money, but the responsible party was either too preoccupied or misleading to inform you of your impending risks. Second, the personal injury lawyer will help you realize your financial options in order to prevent or correct any emotional stress for yourself and your family if you have sustained an incapacitating injury. The first step is to begin with a thorough consultation with a slip and fall attorney to inform him or her of all of the details of your injury as well as become informed of the steps to take to secure your future from here on.

Your consultation is an important step in determining the facts of your injury and your expectations of the investigative and financial assistance from your slip and fall attorney. The lawyer will begin by asking you to recount the events of the day that brought about your injury. Whether you are now aware of the company or person's negligence at that time or not, your lawyer will be able to perform the research necessary to uncover the negligent party. You will be asked to reveal your medical records and employment information that support how much you have lost and/or sacrificed. Your slip and fall attorney will retrieve a copy of your police report (if applicable) and interview any and all witnesses to the fall and resulting injury. Second, you may be experiencing insurance or work compensation difficulties and the lawyer will be able to assist in negotiations on your behalf. Throughout the process he or she will always be presenting evidence and arguments that pursue the guilty party to cover stress and damages to get your quality of life as close to what it used to be by establishing liability.
