Slip and Fall Injury FAQs
How do I prove a slip and fall claim?
To prove a slip and fall claim, you must show that the property owner was negligent in maintaining the premises. This may involve gathering evidence like photos of the accident scene, medical records, witness statements, and proof that the owner was aware of the hazard or should have been aware.
What kind of compensation can I receive from a slip and fall case?
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, rehabilitation costs, and sometimes even punitive damages if the property owner was grossly negligent. Our slip and fall attorneys will help you determine the full scope of your potential recovery.
What if I was partially at fault for the fall?
New England states follow comparative negligence rules, meaning if you were partially at fault, your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault. However, you can still recover damages if you were less than 51% responsible for the accident.
How long do I have to file a slip and fall lawsuit?
The statute of limitations for slip and fall cases in New England is typically 3 years. However, it is important to act quickly as evidence can fade, and witnesses may forget critical details. Contact one of our slip and fall attorneys as soon as possible after the accident.
What should I do immediately after a slip and fall accident?
Report the incident to the property owner, take photos of the hazard, and seek medical attention as soon as possible to document your injuries.
Can I file a claim if I did not notice the hazard before falling?
es, as long as the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition, you may still be eligible to pursue compensation.
