Understanding The Statute Of Limitations For Your Slip And Fall Lawsuit
Unfortunately, many people are unaware there is a time limit to file a lawsuit to seek compensation for damages or losses caused by another person or entity. The Statute of Limitations legally defines the time provided to the victim to take action with the help of a legal expert to prepare and file a lawsuit with the court. If the case is not filed within the time specified for that particular kind of lawsuit, the victim loses the right to seek compensation and justice for losses or harm from that particular incident.

In cases regarding a slip and fall accident injury in California, the victim is allotted two years from the date of the injury to have a claim filed with the court. If that case is not filed in the two-year window provided by the Statute of Limitations, the victim will lose the right to seek compensation in most cases. It is very rare for there to be any exceptions to the time limit. So, it is always wise to seek legal guidance as quickly as possible after you have suffered a personal injury. Even when you are unsure you will need to file a lawsuit, it is best to have an expert review that facts of your case to ensure you have grounds for legal action and determine precisely how long you have to make the choice to file a claim with the court.

The team at Kenmore Law Group is available 24/7 to answer your general questions and provide all the facts and information you need to make a wise decision about a lawsuit and the impact it could have on your future.

What Costs Or Expenses Can Be Included In My Slip And Fall Lawsuit?
When you suffer a slip and fall accident injury, your first concerns are sure to be the severity of your injuries and the time needed to make a full recovery. However, even in cases where the harm is not life-threatening, it can require weeks or months of medical care and therapy to return to your level of fitness or capability enjoyed before the injury. Some victims will not be able to work during that healing process due to the physical demands of their job. So you could quickly discover that with no income and the need for treatment and medical care, bills are increasing at an alarming rate.

Fortunately, your expert Kenmore Law Group slip and fall injury lawyers will provide great information and peace of mind when you discuss the items and expenses that can be included in your slip and fall lawsuit compensation request. You will work closely with your expert legal team to compile all allowable costs that will typically include:

• All current and future essential medical expenses related to the injuries sustained in the slip and fall incident, which include essential medical devices and equipment, prescribed medication, diagnostics, treatment, therapy, rehabilitation, and counseling or emotional care for the trauma you suffered due to the slip and fall incident
• The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the slip and fall incident
• Your lost income if the injuries you suffered prevent you from performing the tasks of your job until you are fully recovered, in addition to any work time that is missed to attend medical appointments for the treatment of your slip and fall accident injuries
• In cases involving severe injuries or those with a lengthy recovery process, it is common for the victim to seek compensation for their pain and suffering
• All of your legal fees about the slip and fall injury lawsuit

Knowing that the legal fees and expenses required to prepare, file, and litigate your California slip and fall injury lawsuit are included in the compensation for your case can be a huge weight lifted from your shoulders. Typically, these fees will amount to 30% to 40% of the lawsuit’s value, which could be a significant amount for many victims to pay if their legal team requires upfront payments or even a portion of the fees to be paid before the case is completed. That is why Kenmore Law Group is committed to never seeking any upfront payments from our clients. We know that those costs are likely to prevent many victims from seeking and getting the legal help they need when they need it the most.

Do I Really Need To Hire A Lawyer For My Slip And Fall Lawsuit?
The legal system can be very complex. Even if your case appears straightforward, it could be far more complicated than you might expect, and a single mistake in something as simple as paperwork could cost you a sizable settlement or amount of compensation. There are many reasons legal experts devote years to education before becoming a lawyer. However, hiring a professional lawyer does bring a substantial reward for the investment you are making in this expert.

It has been determined that a case handled by a lawyer will provide roughly three times the compensation to the victim as a similar case handled by the victim or another person who has no legal training and expertise. And that is with the best outcome for the victim. In many cases, an issue or error results in the case being dismissed or the claim being denied, and the victim receives nothing.

Learning that you could get three times more compensation by hiring a lawyer to litigate your slip and fall lawsuit sounds good. However, it is not easily grasped until you put some numbers into your decision-making process. If you have $100,000 in losses and damages for the lawsuit you are filing, your very best outcome is getting that full $100K for yourself.

However, if a lawyer handles the case, your best outcome will likely be $300,000. But you also know that you will need to pay your legal fees, which should range from $90K to $120K based on most law firms’ average 30% to 40% fee structure. You will take home $180K to $210K after paying your legal costs while not investing copious time and incurred added stress as you were trying to recover from your California slip and fall accident injuries.
