Do I Have a Case?

Identifying the at-fault party in a premises liability case can be tricky as there are several factors you must be able to demonstrate in order to prove the property owner was at fault. After all, falling on someone else’s property doesn’t automatically mean the owner is responsible.

You must be able to demonstrate that the fall was caused by factors the property owner should have been aware of and either resolved or taken steps to warn visitors about. Making this argument to insurance adjusters who are trained in escaping liability can be easier said than done. That’s why having our team of experienced negotiators who know the law on your side will be to your benefit!

In Alabama, the statute of limitations on personal injury claims is two years from the date of your accident. If you file your lawsuit even a day after that, your claim may be refused simply because you took too long. That’s why it’s vital that you contact our team at Long & Long to file your lawsuit as early as possible.

The cost of dealing with a slip and fall accident can be high, not just financially but also physically and emotionally. If you’re struggling to meet expenses after a slip and fall, you likely have a case for seeking compensation from the negligent property owner. Here are some of the most common expenses that can be accounted for in your settlement:

  • Medical bills from doctor’s visits, surgeries, therapy, medication, and more.
  • Lost wages from your time in recovery from your injuries as well as any wages you may miss out on in the future.
  • Pain and suffering damages can also be sought. These are non-financial expenses related to any emotional trauma you’ve experienced due to the accident.

Why Do Slip and Fall Accidents Happen?

While slip and fall accidents can happen for many reasons that are out of a property owner’s control, many occur because the owner failed to make a necessary repair or adequately address a hazard.

When a property owner knew or should have known about a dangerous condition that could pose a threat to people’s safety and failed to fix or warn visitors, they may be held liable for any accidents that occur as a result of their carelessness.

Here are some of the most common causes of slip and fall accidents:

  • Potholes in parking lots
  • Torn carpeting
  • Recently mopped or waxed floors
  • Loose mats
  • Defective sidewalks
  • Faulty staircases
  • Moisture collection in flooring
  • Cluttered floors
  • Loose floorboards

Slip and Fall FAQs

Immediately after a slip and fall, it’s important to act fast. First and foremost, seek medical treatment even if you believe your injuries to be minor. It’s also vital to report your accident to the owner or supervisor of the property where your accident took place. Be sure to request a copy of any accident report filed and document as much as possible about the incident, including the time, date, eyewitness accounts, and the conditions that led to your fall. Then, call our Mobile, Alabama, slip and fall lawyers at Long & Long so we can begin reviewing all the details of your case.

A slip and fall accident can even happen when you’re visiting a friend’s property. In this case, it’s important to keep in mind that you don’t have to sue your friend in order to get the compensation you deserve. Any legal action you take will be aimed toward an insurance company rather than the individual, so don’t let the fact that your accident happened on a friend’s property keep you from pursuing the compensation you need and deserve for your injuries.

The value of each case varies and is dependent on many different factors. Generally, the amount you may be entitled to is determined by the severity of your injuries and the financial losses you’ve suffered as a result of the accident, such as medical bills and lost wages. For a more accurate estimate of how much your case is worth, contact our office for a free case review today.
