Nationwide Legal Support for Premises Liability Claims

Yes, you can file a claim if your slip-and-fall accident was caused by the property owner's negligence. Document the scene, seek medical attention, and preserve any evidence of hazardous conditions. Lawfty's legal premises lawyers can assist you in determining liability, gathering evidence, and pursuing fair compensation for your injuries.

In our opinion, this is a bad idea. While the legal profession doesn't technically have specialties, you're better off with an attorney who exclusively practices personal injury. We think this is akin to seeking medical help - You wouldn't have a podiatrist perform plastic surgery, or trust a dermatologist to deliver your baby. Likewise, we think you'd be best served seeking assistance from an attorney who focuses almost exclusively on personal injury-related cases.

You want a personal injury attorney who is going to be honest with you. It is a red flag if the attorney trying to sell you on their services promises a quick and/or large settlement. Neither of these can be promised with a great degree of certainty shortly following your accident.

Premises liability refers to the legal responsibility of property owners to ensure a safe environment for visitors. If you're injured due to hazardous conditions like uneven walkways, poor lighting, or inadequate security, you may have a premises liability claim. Lawfty's experienced premises attorneys can assess your situation, gather evidence, and determine if you have a valid case.

In the U.S., a personal injury attorney represents clients harmed due to another party’s negligence, such as in car accidents or slip-and-fall cases, working to secure compensation for damages like medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering by proving liability (who is legally at fault). The term "liability attorney" is not a formal specialization but may describe lawyers who focus on establishing fault in specific personal injury cases, such as those involving complex regulations or multiple responsible parties. Since proving liability is a fundamental part of every personal injury case, most personal injury attorneys are adept in this area, making the terms closely related but not entirely interchangeable.

Seek medical attention immediately, document the scene with photos, and report the incident to the property owner or manager. Obtain witness contacts if possible. If you're injured due to negligence, contact Lawfty's skilled premises liability lawyers. We can help you understand your rights, gather evidence, and navigate the legal process.

In the U.S., you can sue for negligence if someone’s failure to act with reasonable care causes your injury, provided you prove four essential legal elements: (1) the defendant owed you a duty of care (2) they breached this duty (3) their breach directly and foreseeably caused your injury, and (4) you suffered actual damages. You must also file your lawsuit within your state’s specific statute of limitations, which typically ranges from 1 to 6 years, with 2-3 years being common.
