Slip-and-Fall Accident Claims

Philadelphia and Allentown, Pennsylvania, New Jersey

Slip-and-fall accidents can occur anywhere: at pools, on construction sites, in drug stores, and even on sidewalks. Some slip-and-fall accidents may result in little more than a bruise, but others can result in catastrophic personal injury.

Consequences of Slip-and-Fall Accidents

Some common injuries sustained in slip-and-fall accidents include:

• Broken bones
• Brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries

Slip-and-fall accidents may result in long-term medical expenses, a loss of ability to work, emotional distress, and physical pain and suffering. Some tragic instances of slip-and-fall may even result in wrongful death.

Insurance Settlements

Slip-and-fall accidents are a part of premises liability law. In many of these cases, insurance companies will get to work as soon as you are injured to minimize your settlement. It is in the financial interests of insurance companies to either disprove you claim, or to get you to accept an inadequate settlement. Once you have accepted an insurance settlement, you waive your right to seek damages under a personal injury lawsuit.
