Physical Labor Injuries

Did you know that slips and falls are the leading cause of workers’ compensation claims?

If you or a loved one has been injured following and slip and fall accident you may be entitled to compensation.

If you’re going to make a claim, then you’ll need a good slip and fall lawyer. How can you be sure you’re picking the right firm? Read on as we look at some tips for choosing the best slip and fall lawyer.

Do They Have Experience?

Many lawyers cover a wide range of different cases, so they may have very little experience of slip and fall claims.

This really isn’t much use to you; you want to find a firm that has plenty of experience in slip and fall cases so that you can be confident they know exactly what they are doing.

When you contact firms, ask them about their experience with slip and fall cases and whether they have handled cases similar to yours.

Were They Successful?

Experience is all well and good, but it counts for very little if they didn’t have success in any of their cases.

Ask about the outcomes of slip and fall cases like yours. What was the final settlement? Did the case have to go to trial? How long did it take? Was the client satisfied with the settlement they received? 

If you don’t get the answers you’re looking for, look elsewhere.

Are They Willing to Go to Trial?

Some slip and fall attorneys prefer to take a lower settlement rather than take a case to trial. 

If you want to get the settlement you deserve, then you need to choose a lawyer that isn’t afraid to go to court if you’re not offered the settlement they think is justified.

If your lawyer is someone who is known to be averse to going to trial, then it may mean you get offered a lower settlement.

Do They Know How Long Your Case Will Take?

You’ll want to get an idea of how long your case is going to take.

Obviously, every case is different, so it’s impossible to put an exact time frame on things. An experienced slip and fall attorney should be able to give you a reasonable estimate of how longs will take, however.

If they’re not even able to give you a ballpark figure, then it’s probably because they don’t have much experience with your type of case.
