  1. When Is Another Party Responsible For A Slip & Fall Accident?

  2. Any type of physical accident poses the threat of serious injury, especially if it is a slip, trip and fall situation. Accidents of this kind can cause muscle or bone damage, and the recovery period can take many weeks - not to mention the hospital bills, which can rise into the thousands of dollars.

  3. What Are “SLIP, TRIP AND FALL” Accidents? As the name suggests, these are personal injury accidents that occur when somebody either slips, trips or falls and can happen as a result of hazardous conditions on someone else’s property. These accidents can occur in a number of different ways, but some instances are more common than others.

  4. When Is Another Party Responsible For An Accident? If you just happened to slip and fall, it doesn’t mean the property owner is immediately at fault and responsible for your injury. There are a lot of other variables that go into deciding who is at fault. A lawyer must prove that there were dangerous conditions on the surface or in the area where you slipped.

  5. How Much Time Do You Have to File a Slip and Fall Claim? Regardless of whether your slip and fall accident was caused by wet floors, spilled liquids, or other hazards on someone else’s property, you need to file a premises liability claim to recover damages before the statute of limitations expires.

  6. Are You Eligible to Recover Damages After a Slip and Fall Accident? To be eligible to recover damages for your injury, your Spokane slip and fall lawyer will have to prove that the property owner or occupier owed you a duty of care and that duty of care was breached due to the failure to remedy an unreasonably dangerous condition on the property.

  7. What Evidence is Needed for a Slip and Fall Claim? The most important pieces of evidence that should be collected in the legal process: ● Photos and videos at the scene of the accident ● Witness statements ● Surveillance footage ● Other pieces of evidence that demonstrate the other party’s fault
