Slipping and getting injured on a defective premise is a worldwide issue, as per National Floor Safety Institute.

• 1 million slip and fall cases are reported annually in the U.S.

• 6.8 million individuals are treated in emergency rooms each year due to fall–related injuries.

• 17 thousand people die because of fall-related injuries in the U.S. every year.

Slip and fall accidents happen every day in real life, but it is a tricky area of law and requires experienced personal injury attorneys  to receive full compensation for your injuries. A lot of negligent property owners will deny any liability and blame the victim for careless or negligent conduct in the hope of escaping liability. The Representatives will fight for your rights and get you the compensation you or your loved ones deserve.

• Wet and slippery floors: Wet floors are the most common cause of slip and fall cases. Whether brought on by a spill that wasn’t cleaned up, a leaking pipe, rain, or naturally slippery surfaces like glass or polished stone floors, a slip and fall can happen anywhere at any time.

• Poorly Maintained Premises: Uneven surfaces, broken railings, defective flooring, sharp edges, compact crossing areas, and poor maintenance are common causes of slip and fall cases.

• Dim and Poorly Lit Hallways: Often, hallways with dim lightning become a hazard due to low visibility that causes people to fall.

A duty of care is owed by any property owner to keep all visitors reasonably safe while they are on their property. Additionally, special care of children should be taken, as the law recognizes a child to be less careful than an adult.

Slip and fall cases are difficult to prove because the party at fault will almost always claim the accident happened due to your carelessness. Here is how The Representatives can help you or your loved ones get the compensation they deserve:

• Evidence Collection – The key to winning a claim is strong evidence of the accident and negligence on behalf of the party at fault. Our expert attorneys analyze the police report, the CCTV footage or video/photos of the place of the accident, interview any possible witnesses, and investigate any previous similar incidents in the same place to build a strong case.

• Recovery of Damages – Calculating the maximum damages recoverable is the key to being compensated adequately. The Representatives has years of experience representing affected clients and winning fair compensation for slip and fall injuries.

• Negotiating on Your Behalf – After collecting medical bills and all pieces of evidence to support your claim, our attorneys will negotiate fair compensation with the other party’s insurance company. Insurance companies tend to offer the lowest possible damages to the affected parties, so it is wise to hire an attorney to negotiate on your behalf even if you don’t expect your case to go to trial.

• Litigation, if Necessary – Often, the negotiation does not go as planned, and both parties do not agree on a specific number of damages. In that case, our firm will fight for your rights in the courtroom.
