Do I need an attorney?
While some slip and fall cases can be handled on your own in Small Claims Court, most will require the assistance of counsel. Slip and fall cases can be difficult to win in court (see below). A slip and fall
lawyer should provide a competent assessment of your case, and will deal with the land owner or his/her insurance carrier. An attorney can locate experts to help in the evaluation and presentation of your case, if it proceeds to trial. Most slip and fall cases are handled as contingency fee cases, which means that the attorney is paid at the conclusion of the case, and only if you recover.
If you chose to hire an attorney for your case, have any agreement regarding payment, costs, etc., in writing at the outset of the case. |
