How Injuries Lead to Compensation
Slip and fall accidents often lead to severe injuries that warrant compensation. While children and the elderly are particularly susceptible to slip and fall accidents, anyone can suffer devastating injuries after a bad trip. For this reason, property owners – including business owners, apartment complex owners, and even homeowners – have a legal obligation to review their premises and take immediate steps to correct any potential hazards. The property owner also needs to put up warning signs to make sure no one gets hurt during the repair process.
Slip and fall accidents frequently occur at:
Hospitals
Grocery stores
Office buildings
Shopping malls
Restaurants
Parking Structures
Hotels
Many people shake off a serious fall and go about their day. They may feel sore and bruised, but they don’t think their fall necessitates emergency medical assistance. However, a bad fall can lead to dangerous physical and cognitive injuries, and in some cases even trigger or exacerbate underlying medical issues. Only a trained medical professional can evaluate your injuries and provide effective treatment programs. Your doctor can also update your medical record, which serves as crucial evidence in your personal injury case. Plus, seeking immediate medical attention prevents the defendant’s insurance company from trying to undermine your right to damages by questioning the severity of your injury.
A plaintiff can sustain the following injuries in a slip and fall accidents:
Traumatic brain injuries
Neck or spinal cord injuries
Broken bones
Pulled or torn muscles
Lacerations
In more tragic circumstances, a slip and fall accident can even lead to a wrongful death case. No matter the severity of your injuries, slip and fall lawsuits can be very difficult to litigate without the guidance of an experienced legal professional. Your legal team needs to prove the following factors to secure damages on your behalf: you weren’t trespassing; you didn’t ignore visible safety warnings; you weren’t drugged or intoxicated; and you weren’t horsing around. Likewise, the property owner’s insurance company will do everything in their power to prove that the accident occurred because you weren’t exercising reasonable care for your own safety and well-being.
Fortunately, the personal injury attorneys at Campbell Whitten can meticulously investigate your case and calculate your injury-related expenses to construct a litigation strategy that aims to secure an advantageous settlement or verdict. If the defense dares to dispute your claim or right to damages, we can fight back with evidence and facts.
