Get Reassurance And Help After A Slip-And-Fall
Last updated on February 27, 2025
No one should have to endure a serious injury because of a negligent property owner. These incidents bring not only painful injuries but also an overwhelming array of paperwork, insurance information and bureaucracy that you must navigate. Fortunately, you do not have to go through it alone.
At Shumate, Flaherty & Eubanks, PSC, our personal injury attorneys understand just how painful and emotional a slip-and-fall accident can be. Since 1916, we have provided legal assistance to accident survivors throughout Kentucky. We are here to offer our support as well as our counsel as we help you recover compensation for your damages.
Do You Have A Slip-And-Fall Case?
Although slip-and-falls are fairly common, not everyone indicates an actionable personal injury case. To recover compensation, you must be able to demonstrate that:
- The owner of the property created the condition that led to your fall
- The owner of the property knew that the condition existed but did not remedy it
- The owner of the property should have known that the condition existed and remedied it
Our slip-and-fall lawyers have extensive experience gathering evidence of the conditions that contributed to a slip-and-fall. We have obtained hundreds of favorable settlements and awards which can pay for your medical bills and help you feel that you have held the negligent party accountable for their actions.
What Kinds Of Compensation Can You Get For A Slip-And-Fall Accident?
As with other types of personal injury claims, in a slip-and-fall case, you can pursue compensation (damages) for things such as:
- Your medical expenses, both past and future
- Missed work as a result of your injuries
- Your pain and suffering
Depending on the severity of your injuries, the amount you’re entitled to could be significant. However, the property owner (or their insurance) may try to pressure you into accepting a lowball settlement. It’s important to speak with an attorney before you accept any settlement. Our lawyers can advise you of the potential value of your claim.
Who Is Responsible For Your Medical Bills After A Slip-And-Fall?
You shouldn’t have to foot the bill for costly medical bills that were the result of a property owner’s negligence. Through a premises liability claim, you can pursue reimbursement and compensation for future medical bills.
In many of these cases, the property owner has insurance coverage for exactly these scenarios. If it’s a business, they will likely have property and casualty insurance. If it’s a private property owner, their homeowners’ or property insurance will often cover it. The important thing to know is that you have options. Our lawyers can help sort out these complicated insurance issues to get you the full compensation you deserve.
