Whether you slip on an icy sidewalk, trip on loose wires, or fall on the floor, it’s best to call an accident lawyer. Our team will evaluate your injuries, look at the evidence, and determine if you can claim damages for the harm sustained. 

Slip and Fall Injuries

As lawyers for slip and fall accidents, we know how serious the resulting injuries can be. Slip and fall injuries include, but are not limited to:

  • Broken bones
  • Cuts, bruises, lacerations
  • Head trauma
  • Nerve damage
  • Soft tissue damage e.g. muscle strains

High-impact falls can cause even more serious damage, such as concussion and spinal cord injuries. 

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

Some slips and falls leave victims with what’s known as complex regional pain syndrome (CPRS). This debilitating condition can leave you with pain long after the injury has healed. It can seriously reduce your quality of life and, in the worst cases, it becomes a disability.

The California CRPS lawyers at our firm want to help you get justice for your condition. Call our complex regional pain syndrome lawyers to learn more. 

Claiming Damages for Slip and Fall Accidents 

You can sustain serious injuries from any slip or fall. Depending on your case, you might need expensive medical treatment and miss work for weeks or months on end. You can often claim compensation for losses such as:

  • Emergency room care
  • Doctor’s visits
  • Prescription costs
  • Lost wages 
  • Pain and suffering
  • Physiotherapy 

If the at-fault party has insurance, their insurer will try to settle for the least amount of money possible. You should always have a slip and fall attorney in California review your offer before you accept it.

DETERMINING IF YOU HAVE A CALIFORNIA INJURY CASE

Our lawyers will need all the details available about the area and the incident when evaluating your potential case. A slip and fall can be embarrassing, but try to remain levelheaded, and exchange contact information with witnesses if possible.

If you have a camera or a smartphone handy, take photos of the place where your accident occurred so the conditions can be documented and used for your case. Sharing evidence like this with our team is critical in establishing fault to get you the help you need.

Don’t be ashamed of seeking legal help after experiencing a California slip and fall accident. It is easy to put the blame on yourself, attributing your fall to clumsiness or lack of attention. Health implications and recovery time after a fall may be longer than you think, leading to lost income and a stack of expensive medical bills.

We’ll help determine if the accident you experienced was the result of an unsafe environment, and we’ll proceed accordingly.

“Don’t brush off your injuries. We’ve seen many injuries that appeared minor turn into more complex medical issues down the road. Get checked out, and then give us a call.”

If you choose to pursue legal action, having medical documentation of your injuries after a California slip and fall accident can help convey the severity of the injury. Don’t hold off on getting medical help after an accident. The most important part of this whole ordeal is your health. Lack of proper documentation opens up plausibility as to whether or not you’re seriously injured by an accident, and insurance companies will use that as leverage against you.

After seeking medical treatment, your next call should be to a California personal injury attorney that specializes in helping victims hold negligent companies and people responsible for the injuries they cause. Call or chat with us to learn what specific documents we need to evaluate your personal injury claim — free of charge.

Filing an Insurance Claim After a
California Slip and Fall Accident in California

There’s a process to making an insurance claim after an accident. To get the most compensation possible, it’s important that you receive the right guidance from an experienced slip and fall lawyer.

Dos and Don’ts for Making Insurance Claims

If you decide to call your insurance company, don’t apologize for the accident. Don’t suggest that you might be at fault – stick only with the facts. 

Did your insurance company make you a slip and fall settlement offer? Don’t accept it without talking to slip & fall accident lawyers first. California slip and fall settlements vary – experienced attorneys can explain whether an offer is fair based on the evidence.

The best thing to do right after a slip or fall is to contact The May Firm. Our lawyers will handle insurance negotiations for you to help ensure that everything goes smoothly. 

Business Liability Insurance

Most businesses or property owners are smart enough to carry liability insurance. This can help protect them and cover the cost of injuries they cause due to their reckless or negligent behavior. Unfortunately, insurance companies are businesses whose goal is to pay out the smallest settlement claim possible to those who are injured. Although they represent the property owner, they are first responsible to their shareholders.

The May Firm’s personal injury lawyers are experienced in dealing with these companies and are familiar with the games they play to minimize payout on claims. Representation from our firm ensures these insurance companies are held accountable and greatly increases your chances of getting the appropriate settlement amount to meet your needs.
