While slips, trips, and falls are common, no two personal injury cases are exactly the same.
The only way to really understand your case value is to evaluate the unique circumstances of your injury. Even when your injuries are similar to those involved in prior cases, they impact you differently. The circumstances of your accident will also be different from anyone else’s.
When calculating the value of your slip and fall claim, our lawyers will evaluate the following:
Our lawyers will work with you during the valuation process. We’ll ask questions about how the injuries have impacted your life. With these important details, we’ll be able to build the strongest case for compensation possible.
In Seattle, victims can pursue compensation for economic damages and non-economic damages.
Economic damages are your financial expenses. Your compensation award should make you “whole” again by reimbursing you for all of the costs you have incurred.
Some common examples include:
Non-economic damages are a bit more complicated. These are your subjective and personal losses. They’re often referred to simply as “pain and suffering” damages.
Remember that your non-economic losses can be far-reaching, and may include:
Without a lawyer’s help, it can be extremely difficult to recover the fair value of your non-economic damages. After all, you won’t have a receipt to prove their value. That means the insurance company is likely to try to diminish their worth.
Our lawyers have fought hard for clients like you in the past. We have relationships with experts who can testify about the impact of your pain, suffering, and trauma. It’s even possible that your intangible suffering could impact your ability to perform your job.
At Davis Law Group Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyers, we work on a contingency fee basis. Our fees are based on a percentage of the compensation we recover for you. That way, you don’t have to worry about upfront costs or what happens if your attorney can’t win your case.
We can discuss the details of our fee arrangement in a free case review. To discuss your case, contact a Seattle slip and fall attorney today for a free consultation.
Washington has a pure comparative negligence law. You can recover compensation if anyone else shares some blame for your injuries. That’s true even if you were partly–or even mostly–responsible for your slip and fall accident.
However, there are consequences if you share fault for your injuries. If the insurance company can prove you were even partly to blame, your compensation will be reduced in proportion to your percentage of fault.
At Davis Law Group Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyers, we often handle slip and fall accident cases involving:
Slip and fall injuries can also be severe enough to cause catastrophic damage. Our slip and fall accident lawyers represent clients who have suffered amputations, paralysis, and even lost loved ones because of their injuries.
Some of the most common causes of slip and falls in Seattle include:
While slip and falls can happen for many different reasons, it’s still up to the victim to establish the cause of their injuries. Consulting an experienced lawyer sooner rather than later is always a good idea. Remember that the property owner will likely fix the problem quickly after someone gets hurt.
Property owners in Washington are responsible for their visitors’ safety. When a property owner allows others onto their premises, they must ensure that the property is reasonably safe.
When people get hurt, negligent property owners can be held financially responsible for failure to provide safe conditions. This is called “premises liability”.
Under Washington premises liability laws, you must generally establish the following to prove the owner was negligent:
The property owner’s duties depend on why you were visiting. The owner is held to a higher standard if the property is generally open to the public. When you visit businesses or public spaces, you’re classified as an invitee.
Owners owe invitees a duty to:
You may also have rights if you were injured while visiting private property. If you’re invited over to a friend’s house, you’re classified as a licensee. Property owners must still warn licensees about non-obvious risks but aren’t required to inspect their property to find hazardous conditions.
The deadline for filing a lawsuit after an accident is called the statute of limitations. Under Washington law, you have three years from the date of your injury to take legal action. After three years pass, you lose your right to sue for damages.
