Slip and falls account for nearly 8
million hospital emergency room visits
each year, representing the leading
cause of visits (21.3%). Although not all
slip and fall accidents result in
fatalities, the majority, especially those
involving the elderly, cause serious
injuries to the victims.
If you or a loved one fell on another party’s premises and suffered injuries, the owner
may be liable. However, unlike other injury accidents where fault is usually obvious,
liability in slip and fall cases can be more difficult to prove. This makes it imperative that
you immediately consult with an experienced New Jersey slip and fall attorney to
protect your legal rights and help you get the full compensation you deserve.
When you hire an attorney, the first step is for them to open a claim with the property
owner and place their insurance carrier on notice. Without having a clear line of
communication with the insurer, it will be difficult to settle your claim for the value that
you deserve. Your New Jersey premises liability attorney then has to prove liability and
the extent of your damages.
In order to get compensation for your injuries and out of pocket expenses, you have to
first prove liability. This means that your lawyer has to prove that, more likely than not,
the property owner was negligent and such negligence played a part in causing your
injuries.
The first step your attorney needs to take in proving liability is to confirm the facts
surrounding your fall. The detailed facts surrounding the accident are critical not only
for your attorney, but also for the insurance adjuster handling the claim.
Proving damages is also important in successfully resolving your slip and fall claim. You
must properly document your loss of wages through your tax returns and your
employer’s records. You or your attorney should also organize all of your medical
records. You need to follow all instructions provided by your medical providers to
realize the full extent of your injuries first. Only then will your NJ slip and fall attorney
be able to demand the full damages you deserve resulting from the fall incident.
If you or someone you know has been injured in a slip and fall accident caused by the
reckless or negligent actions of another party, an experienced attorney can help. Call
