If your injuries turn out very minor after a fall, you may not need a lawyer. When injuries are more serious, such as a broken wrist or a brain injury, medical bills rise and insurance companies fight harder to avoid taking responsibility. A skilled lawyer helps back your case with evidence and can often secure much more support than you could on your own.
How Can a Lawyer Improve the Outcome of My Case?
Slip-and-fall accidents happen in public places. They are often the fault of property owners or business owners who could have removed a hazard or made repairs to prevent the accident. Too often store employees leave puddles on the floor and don’t grab a mop soon enough. Landlords can put off fixing a loose handrail on a set of stairs or fixing a rotten step, causing residents to take a dangerous tumble.
Victims can seek full compensation for their medical bills and lost income, but they’ll often be going up against large corporations or companies, like Walmart. These companies can afford teams of lawyers all working to cast doubt on your accident and the seriousness of your injuries.
A Maison Law representative can take on corporate lawyers and battle insurance adjusters on your behalf to make sure you get the support you need. Most importantly, a skilled lawyer works to maximize the support you receive.
These are just a few of the safeguards your California slip-and-fall lawyer provides:
- Fully investigate the accident and the safety record of the property or business owner at fault
- Build a case backed with strong evidence to make it extremely difficult for insurance adjusters to deny the facts of what happened
- Defense against false accusations such as “you caused your fall” or “your injury was pre-existing”
- Negotiate for much more in compensation for your family when insurance companies try to get you to sign off on a “lowball” offer
- Prepare you for a Lawsuit. Your attorney represents the threat of a lawsuit if an insurance company doesn’t want to help you pay for your recovery. Your attorney could file a lawsuit and seek a court date. You may avoid a court appearance though. This action is usually enough to get insurers and company owners to return to the negotiating table to try harder to make you happier with a settlement. Companies will do everything they can to avoid the cost of going to court and the hit to their reputations.
