Can You Get Money For Your Slip And Fall Accident?

When you slip and fall on the premises of a business or in someone’s home, normally nothing major happens. You might get a bruise on your hip from a slip on the ice in a parking lot, which isn’t a big deal. Sometimes, though, worse things happen. You may slip and break a leg or an arm. At best, this can cost you pain and some hospital bills. At worst, it can cost you missed time at work, and it could even cost you your job. In this case, you should definitely consult with a Ft. Lauderdale slip and fall attorney who can help you get some recourse for your pain and medical costs.

Basically, you can meet with an attorney first to determine whether or not you even have a case. You should be able to get some money for your accident that will cover medical costs and the costs of missed work days if the slip and fall accident was due to some negligence on the part of the business or homeowner. Letting your attorney know the circumstances of your case might help you learn whether or not you can get a settlement or take a case to trial if necessary.

A good attorney will help you assemble all the evidence to decide, first off, whether or not you should try to get recompense for your losses. After that, an attorney can help you decide how to move forward. If you’ve had a Ft. Lauderdale slip and fall accident, consulting with an attorney will help you decide whether or not to take someone to court over your accident. This is the biggest decision you’ll make in the case, and once things start to move forward, your lawyer will help you take care of the ins and outs of the process.
