Many personal injury claims are settled prior to filing a personal injury lawsuit. However, if an insurance company denies your claim or makes an unreasonable offer, you should consider pursuing a lawsuit. This article summarizes the different steps involved in a lawsuit.

When an individual is injured on someone elses' property, we evaluate available insurance coverage and pursue a premises liability claim against the negligent homeowner, commercial property owner or other negligent party. We handle property negligence claims involving:

• Case Evaluation
• Slip and Falls
• Proving a Slip & Fall Claim
• Slip & Fall Injury Causes

There are a number of different causes of slip and fall injuries including holes, protrusions, foreign substances and snow and ice. Here, we will discuss foreign substances, snow and ice, defects in public ways, and when notice is required.

Foreign Substances: Many slip and fall injuries are caused by slip and falls on foreign substances. A few examples include grapes and liquid on grocery store floors.

Proving a slip and fall claim requires a thorough understanding of what caused the fall and knowledge of the applicable law. In this article, Attorney Allison discusses the law on slip and fall claims.

You may be entitled to personal injury damages if you prove that the defendant was negligent and the defendant's negligence caused you to suffer injury or harm. There are many types of damages you may be entitled to - but your the burden of proof is on the victim (or family members when the legal matter involves wrongful death). Your attorney must prove your damages by a fair preponderance of the evidence (or in other words, when all of the evidence is weighed that the matter is more probably true than not.)
