Insurance companies almost always try to refute liability or minimize clients’ recoveries. They are especially notorious, however, for denying slip and fall claims. An attorney can support your claim with evidence such as video footage, maintenance logs, expert testimony, and medical records for a stronger case. Then, your lawyer can attempt to negotiate a fair and full insurance settlement value from the company on your behalf. While you undergo treatments, therapies and rehabilitation for your injuries, your lawyer can efficiently handle legal matters connected to your lawsuit.
Most slip and fall accident claims center on the belief that a property owner should have reasonably known about the property condition that caused the fall and thus prevented the injury from occurring. It is a property owner’s legal responsibility to ensure the safety of his or her property before allowing invitees or licensees to enter. If the slip and fall was an accident that another reasonable and prudent property owner would have been able to prevent in similar circumstances, the defendant might be guilty of negligence.
A successful slip and fall accident cause of action establishes the defendant’s duty of care, breach of duty and causation for the fall based on a preponderance of the evidence. The lawyers at Sweeney Merrigan Law, LLP can help you navigate the legal aspects of your claim, including the burden of proof, by returning to the scene of your fall, collecting evidence, analyzing information and building a strong claim to damages. We understand these accidents in and out and know how to fight for maximum recovery from land or business owners in Cambridge.
