Understanding the Legal Pitfalls of Slip and Fall Accidents
Your trip and fall, slip and fall, or falling accident can be more than embarrassing. It can be devastating. You could suffer severe injuries from seemingly minor slip and fall accidents. Your injuries may require lengthy medical care. Do not let your embarrassment override your right to seek compensation.
Our Frederick, Maryland, law firm understands your case. We know that these personal injury cases can be difficult to prove. Our lawyers can prepare strategies to help you seek compensation for your injuries.
In-Depth Investigation
Slip and fall, trip and fall, and other falling injury cases require extensive investigation. Our attorneys evaluate your accident from all angles. We can locate and interview witnesses to provide compelling testimony.
Corish, Hill & Associates can also discuss your medical prognosis with your doctor to determine the extent of your financial needs. When necessary, we consult experts to support your claim. Experts, for instance, can provide insights into why you might not have seen water on the floor or a hole in a walkway.
Actual or Constructive Notice
Slip and fall accidents are statistically harder to prove due to strict liability guidelines. If you slip on a piece of lettuce at the grocery store and suffer a serious injury, the burden is on you to prove that the store and its employees had actual or constructive notice of the condition. This basically means you have to prove that the responsible party knew about the problem, should have known about it or ignored the condition.
Our attorneys understand that, oftentimes, the initial threshold of liability cannot be proven. We will not waste your time with empty promises. We will tell you upfront if your case does not have merit.
