Determining Liability After a Slip and Fall Accident
In addition to physical and property damage, an accident victim may feel very frustrated upon receiving a denial of liability from the at-fault party’s insurance provider. If that is your case, we promise to talk about the experience with you until all your questions are answered.
The best evidence for a slip and fall case is almost certainly video footage of the actual accident. If video footage is impossible to obtain then witness testimony is the next best thing. Photos of your injuries and of the scene, especially if they show that there were no posted warning signs. Comprehensive medical records detailing your injuries in full can also greatly help your case.
An experienced attorney will have familiarity with all of the frequent slip and fall accident causes and be able to assist in proving you were not at fault.
Common Slip and Fall Questions
- How large of a settlement should I receive for my slip and fall accident?
- What evidence is required to prove a slip and fall accident case?
- How long does a slip and fall accident case take?
Slip and Fall Accident Laws
If your slip and fall injury happened in a business, such as the wet floor of a supermarket, then their insurance policy could be responsible if warning signs were not properly posted. Without a good slip and fall attorney on your side, an insurance company can overwhelm you with their high-priced legal team.
The most difficult aspect about slip and fall injury cases is establishing who the responsible party is for the injuries suffered. A slip and fall injury on an icy sidewalk is a good example. If the sidewalk is in front of a private residence, the homeowner could be held responsible because many cities require homeowners to either shovel or salt their sidewalks. Those same laws specifically designate the home or business owner as responsible for any slip and fall injuries caused by untreated sidewalks.
If the slip and fall injury occurs in a public area, such as a park or on a cracked or broken sidewalk, the city could be found responsible. Such cases, however, are not always so straightforward. For example, if the homeowner failed to notify the city about the cracked sidewalk, the homeowner may still be partially responsible. In many cases, a slip and fall injury happens because a property owner did not properly care for the property, or a business owner did not take the needed steps to protect its customers.
In the vast majority of cases, you will receive less money if you try to settle your case on your own.

You Deserve an Advocate for Your Spokane Slip and Fall Accident
Slip and fall accidents often cause serious injury or even death. Some of the more common injuries are:
- Broken bones
- Cuts – bruises – and scrapes
- Concussions
- Torn and sprained ligaments
- Hemorrhages and hematomas
- Traumatic brain injuries
The Advocates will be your best ally in restoring your life to how it was before your accident.
No one should navigate the justice system on their own. Not only is it better to focus all your energy on making a full recovery, but injured parties without legal representation typically only get fractions of the compensation due.
The Advocates know all too well how unfairly insurance companies treat accident victims. Insurance providers will often deny legitimate injury claims for any reason possible, such as pre-existing injuries or liability concerns. They train their insurance adjusters to ask tricky and leading questions. And they might even spy on your social media in order to find proof the accident was not as significant as you’ve claimed. Don’t let the insurance companies cheat you out of a fair settlement. Hire an Advocate and make them pay the compensation your case deserves.
