Frequently asked questions
What do I need to prove in a slip and fall case?
That a hazardous condition existed, that the owner knew or should have known about it, and that it caused your injury. Photos, incident reports, and witness names are decisive.
Does it matter that I didn't see the hazard?
Defendants often argue the hazard was 'open and obvious.' It's a fault argument, not an automatic bar: your award may be reduced rather than eliminated.
How long do slip and fall cases take?
Straightforward claims settle in 6–12 months after treatment ends. Disputed liability or serious injuries can take 1–2 years.
