Have you ever come across a wet floor in a supermarket?
In theory, this situation shouldn’t be a problem. You would only need to avoid stepping on the pool of water and keep on walking. But imagine what might happen if an elderly or a child accidentally stepped on it. It would be a completely different case. This scenario will most likely lead to a slip and fall accident.
These types of accidents are more common than you think. They can occur on a walking path, shops, shopping malls, amusement parks, parking lots, or even in a friend’s house. According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), the medical expenses associated with a slip and fall injury can be up to $40,000.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), slip and fall accidents account for nearly half of all traumatic brain injury hospitalizations in America. Slips and falls are the leading cause of head injury in the elderly. In 2019, slip and fall accidents caused 34,000 fatalities among adults aged 65 and older.
Nonetheless, a lot of people have taken advantage of such accidents to scam insurance companies by fabricating a trip and fall situation. This abuse has made things complicated for real victims to obtain the benefits they are entitled to in their claim for compensation.
The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) reported that scamming insurance companies caused losses up to $40 billion annually, with at least $2 billion from slip and fall accidents.
If you legitimately experienced a slip and fall accident, an experienced slip and fall attorney will protect your rights and prevent misunderstandings of scams.
To ensure a successful personal injury claim, you must do the following after the accident:
To demonstrate that your accident was not an act and that you are genuinely injured, it is important to ask yourself two basic questions:
And as the injured party, it will be necessary that you prove one of the following:
To demonstrate that the owner of the premises is a liable party, it will be necessary to prove their negligence when the accident happened. This means proving the following points:
The premises owner or their insurance carrier will try to blame you and say that you were partially at fault for the fall. Their main goal is to decrease the amount of financial compensation you are entitled to.
You could be partially at the at-fault party for the slip and fall accident so it will be necessary to evaluate the following elements:
Take into account that if the defense manages to prove that your carelessness caused you to slip and fall, it is very unlikely to support your claim and win the case. Hence, it is always best to be vigilant. You never know when you will be in danger.
