JENKINTOWN PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS

Most people know that when you are injured from a slip and fall accident in a public place (like a grocery store or an office building), you can file a lawsuit for compensation if the owner of the property was negligent. But many people don’t know if they can file a lawsuit if the same accident occurs on private property. Depending on the situation, you can file a lawsuit for compensation.

What to Do After Your Accident

If you slip and fall, the first thing you should do is seek medical attention. Do not wait until the pain progresses to seek help.

Slip and fall accidents can be scary and they don’t always occur because you were clumsy. If the owner of the property where you fell did not take the necessary precautions to keep people safe, then you might be eligible to file a lawsuit for compensation.

How to Know if You Should File a Law Suit

When determining if your slip and fall accident was caused by another’s negligence, you should ask yourself these questions:

• Was the injury you sustained severe enough that you needed to see a doctor?
• Will your injury keep you from performing your regular duties at work?
• Is your injury going to keep you from performing your daily tasks in your personal life?
• Why did you fall? Was it because you have bad balance, or was it the fault of somebody else who had a slippery or potentially dangerous surface that you were walking on.

If your answer to most of these questions is yes, you might be able to file a lawsuit to receive compensation for an accident that was not your fault.
