How Does Belal Prove a Slip and Fall Case?
To claim damages, Belal must prove several facts.
First, Belal has to show that the defendant owns, occupies, leases, manages, or otherwise controls the property.
This often includes proving that the defendant’s maintenance or use of the property was negligent. It’s also essential to show that your injury resulted from slipping and falling on the property was directly caused by the defendant’s negligence.
Proving all of this makes it possible for you to claim damages. Over the years, we’ve helped countless clients in situations like yours, and now, we’re ready to support you.
How Belal Can Assist You
Belal can assist in many ways.
For starters, Belal can pinpoint the responsible party, which can be more complex than it looks. Determining who’s at fault in a slip and fall case largely hinges on the circumstances.
One of the significant tasks of a slip and fall lawyer is proving the fault of the property owner or business for your injury.
Property owners have a duty to ensure a safe environment for others. In a slip and fall case, it’s entirely possible you, the victim, will face not only the property owner or their business but also their insurance company. With Belal’s support, you can rest easy knowing you don’t have to tackle the insurance company alone.
What Constitutes a Slip and Fall Case?
A slip and fall case rests upon many factors. We utilize all of them to construct a persuasive case for our clients. A fundamental factor is the existence of a hazard on the property where the slip and fall took place. A “hazard” could be a wet or cracked floor, a hole, poorly maintained railing, or any other risky situation.
Your legal presence on the property is an important part of a slip and fall case.
If you were invited, had permission, or were authorized to be on the premises, then your claim is valid. Although rare, even trespassers could have a case for a slip and fall under specific conditions. Usually, however, trespassers do not.
It’s also crucial to show that your injury resulted directly from the hazard on the property and that you incurred damages as a result. We can do all of that and more for our clients, representing you as aggressively as possible.
What are Some of the More Common Slip and Fall Injuries?
Every injury from a slip and fall accident demands specific attention and compensation. In his years of representing clients, Belal has seen these injuries often:
Broken Bones: Slips and falls can cause fractures in various parts of the body, like arms, legs, fingers, toes, elbows, knees, back, and neck. Broken bones call for professional medical treatment, possibly requiring rehabilitation and more.
Sprains: Sprains, pulls, and the like can still pose significant issues, keeping you from going to work, necessitating ongoing medical treatment, and worse.
Traumatic Brain Injury: Even falls that may seem “mild” can lead to serious injuries, skull fractures, and so forth.
Nerve Damage: all too common when someone slips and falls, lasting nerve damage can be one more resulting injury.
How Long Does a Slip and Fall Case Last?
A slip and fall case’s duration is hard to predict, as there’s no set average duration. Some cases take many years, whereas others will wrap up within a few months. Every single one of these cases involve numerous variables and complexities.
Determining the total cost of medical treatment, negotiating with insurance companies for a fair settlement, and other procedural factors play a large part in deciding the length of your case.
Regardless of the duration, Belal is dedicated to supporting you throughout the whole process. From the initial stages to your case’s successful resolution, we’re by your side every step of the way.
Slip and Fall Accident Resulting in Wrongful Death
Sadly, some slip and fall accidents culminate in the tragic loss of a loved one. Survivors might have grounds to file a lawsuit against the property or business owner. While no compensation can fill the void left by the loss of a loved one, you can receive compensation.
Specifically, settlements from these cases can help cover funeral costs and the medical expenses resulting from the injury among other basic needs.
Belal handles wrongful death cases with compassion and professionalism. Through this, he can help you to gain maximum compensation while providing extensive support.
Can I Receive Compensation for Pain and Suffering in a Slip and Fall Accident?
Yes. Plus, California does not impose caps on pain and suffering damages, allowing victims to potentially gain considerable compensation.
Besides pain and suffering, our team ensures you get compensation for medical expenses, property losses, loss of income, rehabilitation costs, consortium, and all other damages you deserve.
By customizing our approach to your specific needs and situation, we provide you with the right aggressive representation for your case.
