Question:
What are some common mistakes to avoid after a slip and fall?
Answer:
It’s important to hire a lawyer for your slip and fall claim to avoid the many mistakes people commonly make that can destroy their chances of receiving compensation.
One of the first mistakes slip and fall victims make is not realizing you have a claim. The two most helpful things you can do to prevent making this mistake is get checked out by a doctor and consult with a lawyer.
Another mistake people make is failing to consult with a lawyer. Speaking to an attorney and getting your questions answered will give you the information you need to know whether you should be moving forward with a claim.
When people don’t get their questions answered by a lawyer, they don’t realize how much a lawyer can help with their claim. This results in them failing to hire an attorney and trying to win their claim on their own.
This is where all kinds of mistakes are made. One of them is speaking to the insurance company on your own. Another is speaking to the manager of the store where you slipped and fell. Doing these two things without your attorney is going to get you taken advantage of.
Without an attorney, people end up giving away information that will be used against their claim. The insurance company will grasp at anything they can to get you to agree to a low-ball deal to make the problem go away.
