Premises
Liability cases involve injuries sustained on the property or premises of
a negligent third party. These types of cases often involve slip and fall
accidents, which usually occur when a defective condition, foreign
substance or object causes a fall. Crucial to settlement recovery is being
able to show how long the defect or substance was there, how visible it
was, and how much notice the owner had of the dangerous condition before
the accident.
Common
sense advice:
As with any accident that involves visible injuries and other physical
evidence it is usually wise to take photographs of the scene,
injuries and any other physical evidence (e.g. damaged car; motorcycle;
bicycle or any other physical evidence that supports your injury case). Do
not speak to any insurance adjusters. No matter how helpful, friendly, or
compassionate a liability insurance adjusters may seem, you must always
keep in mind that it is the job of that adjuster to limit the amount of
money the insurance company will have to pay on your claim to the greatest
extent possible. Therefore, do not speak to any insurance company
representatives nor sign any documents before you consult with an
attorney!
