Slip & Fall Questions
Answers To Your Questions
I fell in a puddle of water at the grocery store. I can sue and win a lot of money, right?
Not necessarily. You must first prove the grocery store either created the hazardous situation or had previous knowledge of it. If you can prove both these things, the amount of your "award" will be directly related to your injury, medical costs and loss of income. If you have suffered a serious injury in a fall you should consult with an experienced personal injury attorney who can help you decide if your case should be pursued or not. The personal injury attorneys at the Ziff Law Firm provide a Free Consultation (either by phone, email or in the office) to determine whether your case has merit or not.
I didn't have any medical expenses or lost income when I fell in the store; can I still collect a settlement?
If you don't suffer an injury or incur financial losses, chances are slim that you'll collect any monetary award. Furthermore, the costs of pursuing a law suit may be more than you could hope to recover so it probably wouldn't make sense to pursue this claim.
