When dealing with a slip-and-fall incident you need a professional and experienced lawyer to handle the case to make sure you get what you deserve. We want to discuss the specifics of your case, including the details of the accident, any injuries sustained, and any medical treatment received. To prove negligence in a slip and fall injury case, the plaintiff has to prove that the property owner or occupier had a duty of care to keep the property safe and that they failed to fulfill that duty, resulting in the plaintiff's injuries. This can be done by showing that the property owner or occupier knew or should have known about the hazardous condition and failed to address it or warn visitors. The process of a slip and fall injury case can vary depending on the jurisdiction, but typically it involves filing a complaint, serving it to the defendant, and then going through the discovery process and possibly a trial.
