Slip & Fall Accidents

When a walkway is not properly maintained or kept clear of dangerous slip and trip hazards, severe personal injury can result. If you have been the victim of such negligence, then you have every right to demand compensation for your injuries. Unfortunately, these accidents can occur anywhere, be it on public or private property, or even at the workplace. Wherever your accident took place, you need proper representation.

When a person slips or trips on public property, it can be difficult to determine or prove a liable party. Especially since insurance companies will do everything they can to deny liability and instead pin the blame on you. This is exactly why it is so important to hire a Dallas slip and fall accident lawyer with the knowledge and experience to help you build your case and fight for the payment you deserve. For assistance from a skilled legal team, call The Lenahan Law Firm at (214) 295-1008. We are ready to help.

There are many people who view slip and falls as minor accidents. After all, we all take a fall or two within our lifetimes. Why is a slip and fall so serious? Well, when you fall backward after slipping, you have a much harder time regaining balance and catching yourself with your hands, meaning that all of the force from the fall will be taken by your head and spine, both incredibly vulnerable parts of the body. This kind of impact can lead to catastrophic injuries, such as:

All of these injuries can be incredibly severe. They may take weeks to months to years to fully heal, and even then, you may be left with chronic pain or a lifelong disability. The truth is that anyone who genuinely believes that slip and falls is minor accidents are completely wrong. If you have suffered a serious slip and fall, then you deserve proper compensation. The first step to recovering your damages is determining just who is liable for your injuries.

After suffering catastrophic trauma in a Dallas slip and fall, the last thing you may be thinking of is filing a claim. However, a personal injury claim should always be among your first thoughts after such a severe accident. Recovering from injuries is not just emotionally and physically taxing, but it can also present a serious financial strain. Hospitals, surgeries, and medication are not free. Filing a claim against the party liable for your injury may be your best bet to covering the costs of your injuries.
