At first, insurance companies are apt to blame the person who fell. However, I have handled hundreds of these cases. I focus on the responsibility of the property owner. It is important that all aspects of the situation are investigated and specific questions are asked, such as:
- Were there adequate warning signs of a dangerous condition?
- If the slippery condition of the floor was known, why was there no "Wet Floor" sign posted?
- Was there ample lighting?
- Were there defects in the sidewalk or parking lot?
- Was a construction zone not properly guarded?
- Were snow and ice cleared by the property owner?
- Was the parking lot or sidewalk properly sanded or salted after a storm?
- Did poor maintenance records contribute to the dangerous conditions?
I then strive to make sure that the insurance company, opposing counsel, and the court understand the damage that resulted from the property owner's negligence.
The effects of a slip and fall can last a lifetime. You have a right to seek compensation for the injuries you have suffered, in addition to medical expenses and lost wages.
