Have You Been Injured in a Fall or Other Store Accident?
When you enter a store to shop, you expect that store to be safe. In fact, failure to prevent or correct dangerous property conditions can make the owner or operator liable for negligence in certain situations.
If you have been injured in a slip-and-fall or other accident you feel could have been prevented, I encourage you to contact me, attorney Michael P. Sullivan, for a free evaluation of your case. My friendly, well-staffed law office helps many people in Louisville, Kentucky, and communities throughout our area.
Taking Your Injuries Seriously — Determining the Best Action To Take
I recognize that accidents such as a slip-and-fall on a hard tile floor or being struck by poorly stacked merchandise can have very serious consequences. Common outcomes are broken bones, joint and soft tissue injuries, and bruises — but people have also suffered disabling spine or brain injuries in commercial premises accidents. I take my clients' concerns seriously, and will treat each client with respect.
Even if you do not have a strong case for legal action against a commercial property owner, your injuries and inability to work may justify filing a disability claim. I am prepared to help you evaluate all means of obtaining needed financial compensation.
Considering the Facts and Offering Experienced Counsel
Premises liability cases are much different from those involving auto accidents. Fault and negligence absolutely matter for a slip and fall or other accident. Obtaining any compensation is highly dependent on being able to establish facts, and you will need an experienced lawyer willing and able to investigate. I will need to know the facts, including:
- Where, specifically, your accident occurred, and what you were doing before and as the accident took place
- What you believe caused the accident — ranging from a neglected fluid spill in a grocery store to unsafe merchandising stack in a discount or home improvement store
- Who may have witnessed your accident?
- Why were you on the property to begin with?
- The existence of insurance could play a role
I understand the nuances of premises liability law, keep up with decisions in other cases and know what to look for in evaluating your situation. The sooner after your accident you are able to contact me, the better your chances may be of getting help with medical costs and recovering other damages.
