Trip & Fall Accidents Lawsuit Lawyer

The trip and fall case seems so simple. When a person falls on someone else's property they automatically assume that the insurance company for the property owner will automatically pay them. It's not so simple. The claimant must first prove that the property owner did something wrong and then that he had actually or constructive notice of the existence of the condition which caused the accident. Constructive notice means that the condition existed for a long enough period that the property owner should have known about the condition and repaired it. The words of art are constantly being reinterpreted by our courts. Every fact pattern has its own unique characteristics, often requiring expert testimony and witness corroboration. When our office accepts a new slip and fall case we analyze what we need to do in order to prove the case so that it meets the standards of current case law. Often extensive discovery has to take place in order to discover the accident. Sometimes cases can only be proven through the defendants records of testimony. Many times new court decisions are rendered which alter the burden of proof we must sustain. By concentrating staff attorneys in this area of the law who are knowledgeable and experience we often achieve superior results.

In order to obtain large verdicts, it is important that trial attorneys use exhibits. Exhibits are costly and only large and well financed law firms have the ability to pay for and choose the compelling demonstrative evidence.
