How Much Time Will It Take To Resolve My Slip And Fall Lawsuit?

It is sure to be of little consolation to know that over 5,000 people visit the emergency room daily due to an injury incident. While this news might help you feel less embarrassed about a slip and fall injury, it does not help you solve the real issues created by the incident. Your focus is on more serious matters like the cost of medical care, the work you might miss, and the mounting living expenses you will face if you are not earning a weekly income while you heal. All of these issues are likely to cause you to lose sleep and feel miserable when you should be relaxing and focusing on healing.

Sadly, slip and fall injury incidents are widespread and result in over 1,000,000 visits to the emergency room each year. That is over 20% of the total cases seen in the ER annually. With so many of these incidents, you would think that property owners would be more dedicated to ensuring the safety of guests or the general public when they are on their properties. But that is not the case. If you or a loved one recently suffered a slip and fall and are now suffering from injuries from the incident, please know that the expert legal staff at Kenmore Law Group is here to help you resolve the hardships caused by this unfortunate event.

With this information, you will be well-prepared to begin making wise and well-infirmed choices about your future and how to overcome the challenges created by your slip and fall injuries.

Our purpose is only to ensure that slip and fall injury victims have the information and resources to make choices that will best meet their immediate and long-term needs. But please reach out to our caring staff quickly, as there is a time limit to file a case with the court that could be shorter than you might expect.

What Causes Most Slip And Fall Injury Incidents?
It is very concerning to realize that the common causes of most slip and fall injury incidents are benign and could have easily been eliminated to prevent an injury incident. However, property owners and staff taking care of the spaces choose to overlook or ignore these common issues until a tragedy causes harm. Some of the easiest and least complex issues to resolve include:

• Water or other drinks or food spilled on the floor but not properly cleaned up
• Saturated floor mats at entry doors
• Missing floor mats at an exterior door
• Damaged or leaking plumbing fixtures that floor or moisten the floor
• Recently mopped floors that are still damp but do not display a warning sign to alert patrons of the increased slip and fall hazard
• Loose or damaged flooring or carpet
• Folded or damaged rugs
• Wet or muddy sidewalks
• Wet leaves or other litter on sidewalks, in parking lots, or on steps
• Leaking pipes or hoses that create slippery puddles on the floor

In most cases, the issue could have been corrected or marked as a safety hazard until it was corrected to prevent anyone from suffering harm due to a slip and fall injury. However, if the staff or property owner fails to take action, the owner could be held responsible for the harm sustained by an innocent guest.

Understanding Premises Liability Obligations
All public and private property owners and their staff are legally required to maintain the spaces in a safe condition. The purpose of this legal obligation is to ensure the safety of others when on the property. The requirements include routine inspections to locate and correct any safety concerns before guests suffer injuries. When a safety issue is discovered, the owner is expected to provide at least the same level of care as would be demonstrated by the average prudent person to correct or eliminate the hazard. If they fail to act appropriately and in a reasonable amount of time, they are deemed negligent in their duty of care.

For example, if you find water spilled on the floor in your home, you mop it up as quickly as possible to prevent any injury incidents. That is what most people would do and what is expected of all property owners. If the water is not promptly cleaned up and someone slips and falls, the property owner, you, in this case, could be liable for the losses and expenses incurred by the victim. If you feel that your slip and fall was due to negligence on the part of the property owner or their staff, please do not hesitate to reach out to Kenmore Law Group today to discuss the matter.

How Much Is The Average Slip And Fall Personal Injury Lawsuit Worth?
It is shocking to many slip and fall injury victims that there are no predetermined compensation amounts for specific injuries or incidents. Instead, each case is carefully reviewed, and the compensation awarded by the court is based on the actual losses and expenses incurred by the victim because of the harm they sustained. You will work with your compassionate Kenmore Law Group legal team to gather all documents to confirm the allowable expenses you incurred that will be used in this process. The items typically include but are not always limited to:

• All current and estimated future medical expenses related to the treatment and rehabilitation of the slip and fall injuries
• The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the slip and fall injury incident
• The cost of all legal services related to preparing, filing, and litigating the slip and fall injury lawsuit
• Your lost income if the harm you sustained in the slip and fall incident prevented you from working at your regular job until you were fully recovered

In cases that involve severe injuries and require a lengthy recovery time, the victim is permitted to seek added compensation for their pain and suffering. As this is not a documented amount like a legal or medical bill, you will turn to your Kenmore Law Group legal team to offer guidance in selecting a fair and reasonable amount for your pain and suffering. In these situations, they refer to recently completed cases with similar facts and injuries to ensure you are requesting the most robust pain and suffering compensation that applies to the harm you have endured.

What Is The Time Limit To File A Slip And Fall Lawsuit?
In most cases, personal injury victims are given two years from the date of their injury incident to file a claim with the court. This time limit is strictly enforced, and once it has passed, the victim loses the right to take legal action for any losses and expenses caused by that specific incident. In addition, very few exceptions would offer a victim added time to file a lawsuit once the time limit has expired. Please also be aware that in cases where the responsible party is a government entity like the city or county, the time provided to victims to file a lawsuit is reduced to only six months from the incident date. Please contact Kenmore Law Group today to learn more.
