How Do You Prove A Slip And Fall Case?
To successfully settle a slip and fall case, a slip and fall attorney must prove the following:
- Negligence: The property owner must have acted negligently, that is, they could have known about the dangerous condition that caused your fall. Our slip and fall attorneys thoroughly investigate your case, gathering evidence such as surveillance videos and eyewitness accounts, to prove that the property owner is legally responsible for your injuries.
- Causation: The injuries sustained must have been caused by the slip and fall accident. Our slip and fall attorneys provide evidence of the injuries and damages suffered as a result of the accident. Our attorneys obtain medical testimony to support your claim that your physical damages arose because of the negligence.
What If You Are Also at Fault?
If you share some responsibility for the fall, you may still be able to file a slip and file lawsuit. Missouri is a pure comparative negligence state, which means you can obtain compensation for the accident regardless of how much blame you share. But you can only collect damages in proportion to the defendant’s degree of fault.
Our slip and fall attorneys will help you understand the specifics of your case and provide an approximation of the full extent of your damages. You may be compensated for both economic and non-economic losses, which include medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, rehabilitation and therapy costs, and property damages.
