Slip and fall accidents may result in a variety of injuries, ranging from minor cuts/bruises/sprains to serious whiplash injury, traumatic brain injury, head/neck/spinal-cord damage, internal organ damage, serious fractures etc. When the injured person is a senior citizen or is pregnant, there could be devastating consequences.
Accidents are usually caused by someone’s fault or negligence and in many slip and fall cases, certain dangerous conditions on the premises lead to the mishap. Hence, such accidents should immediately be reported to someone in charge.
If you or a loved one has been so injured, get prompt medical attention, regardless of the nature/extent of the injury. It’s important to rule out serious problems which could surface later. Following this, contact a Cavan personal injury lawyer to help you file a compensation claim against those responsible for the accident.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Cavan slip and fall accident lawyers who handle such cases exclusively would have the requisite expertise, experience and knowledge to advise injured clients on their rights in such cases.
In general, slip and fall accidents are caused by:
- slipping and falling on ice, liquids, or other substances
- faulty, poorly-maintained staircases
- tripping over thresholds
An important aspect of personal injury cases is that it’s the plaintiff’s burden of proving the elements of their claim. Hence, collecting a robust body of evidence is crucial.
Top Toronto personal injury lawyers can investigate into factors like how long the dangerous condition existed and whether there was enough time to remedy the situation.
Top-rated accident lawyers can build a strong case on evidence gathered from eye-witnesses, medical experts, civil engineers etc. but if the victim or someone else is able to provide photographic evidence or video footage of the dangerous conditions that caused the accident, this could tilt the balance in the injured person’s favor.
Hence, it’s vital that photographs are taken showing the location and time of the accident and the hazardous condition that caused it.
Our experienced personal injury lawyers can also inspect the property-owner’s maintenance records to prove whether regular maintenance was conducted, construction/design plans for violations in building staircases, establish the lack of warning signs etc to prove fault/negligence.
