So, what do you do after a slip & fall accident? Contacting an attorney and seeking medical attention immediately after a serious injury is important. Quite often, we have clients who have been injured in a slip and fall incident ask us if they actually have a case in which they could receive compensation for their injuries. The injury attorneys at York Gaskill, LLC will take the time to review the facts and evidence in your specific situation and advise you appropriately about your options.
In determining whether or not you have a possible lawsuit, you can ask yourself a few questions to start. Were your injuries serious enough to require medical treatment? Will you be required to take time off work because of the injuries sustained? Was the floor/ground surface dangerous in some way or were you totally responsible for the slip and fall? Depending on the answers to those questions, filing a lawsuit may or may not be your best option.
Once it has been determined that you do, in fact, have a case, you (the injured party) will need to demonstrate that the property owner was responsible for the occurrence. To do this, you must be able to show that the owner failed to use reasonable care or was negligent in keeping the property as safe as possible. Additionally, you will need to show that the injuries you suffered were caused by that failure or negligence. Our attorneys are experts in this field.
