Injuries can be serious and permanent, and the financial consequences are significant. There is usually an insurance company whose only goal is to get rid of your claim as cheaply as possible.

Have you been injured as the result of a slip and fall accident? These are perhaps the most common of all premises liability injuries, and they can happen almost anywhere . Typically the fall is the result of negligence on the part of a business or property owner, government entity, construction firm, or another person or company. Your injuries could have been prevented with proper care and attention by the other person. There is no reason why you should be required to bear the burden of the injuries yourself.
