Advice for Victims of Slip and Fall Accidents

December 30th, 2008 by themanda

When you’re involved in a slip and fall accident in order to recover any money for your injuries you must prove that the property owner had “notice” of the defective or dangerous condition.

There are three ways that you can establish notice:

1. Show that the property owner actually caused or created the dangerous condition.

2. Show the the property owner knew about the dangerous or defective condition.

3. Show the the property owner should have known about the dangerous or defective condition.

Without being able to establish that any of the three things mentioned above are present you will not be able to recover a single penny for the injury that you sustain in a slip and fall on someone else’s property.

So, how do you find out? The best way is to call a personal injury attorney. Your attorney will investigate all of the facts and determine if you have what it takes to succeed.

This is exactly what I did several years ago when I had an accident at a local grocery store here in Long Island, New York.

I fell at the store and ended up calling an attorney that I found when I did an online search for “slip and fall accident lawyers long island“.

I called the attorneys, told them what happened and they began an investigation.

They ended up negotiating a huge settlement for me. So, if you’re in any type of accident where you’re injured, do yourself a really big favor…call a Long Island slip and fall injury attorney immediately.
