How do I prove negligence in a slip and fall case?

To win a slip and fall case, you must prove: (1) The property owner owed you a duty of care; (2) A dangerous condition existed on the property; (3) The owner knew or should have known about the condition; (4) The owner failed to fix it or warn you; (5) The dangerous condition caused your fall and injuries. Evidence like surveillance footage, maintenance records, prior complaints, and witness statements help prove negligence.

What if there was no wet floor sign?

The absence of a wet floor sign can be strong evidence of negligence. Property owners are required to either promptly clean up spills or warn visitors of wet conditions. If no sign was present and a spill was there long enough that the owner should have discovered it, you may have a strong case.

Can I sue if I fell in a store?

Yes, stores owe a duty of care to customers. If your fall was caused by a dangerous condition the store knew or should have known about (like a spill, uneven flooring, or cluttered aisle), you can pursue a premises liability claim. Evidence of how long the hazard existed is often critical to proving the store should have known.

How long do I have to file a slip and fall claim?

The statute of limitations for slip and fall cases varies by state, typically 2-3 years from the date of injury. However, claims against government entities (city sidewalks, public buildings) often have much shorter notice requirements of 30-180 days. Do not wait - consult an attorney quickly to ensure you meet all deadlines.

What if I was partially at fault for my fall?

You may still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault. Most states use comparative negligence, which reduces your recovery by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault and your damages are $100,000, you would receive $80,000. An attorney can argue to minimize the fault attributed to you.

How much is my slip and fall case worth?

Slip and fall case values depend on: severity of injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, permanent disability, and the strength of evidence showing negligence. Minor injuries may settle for $10,000-$25,000, while serious injuries involving surgery or permanent impairment can reach $100,000-$500,000 or more.

Arab slip & fall accidents lawyer process in Massachusetts

Our streamlined process gets you the help you need quickly and efficiently.

Document the Scene

If you are able, document the accident scene before conditions change. Take photos and videos of what caused your fall, the surrounding area, any warning signs (or lack thereof), and your visible injuries. This evidence is crucial.

Report the Incident

Report your fall to the property owner, manager, or employee immediately. Ask for a written incident report and request a copy. This creates an official record of your accident and prevents the property owner from claiming they were unaware.

Seek Medical Attention

Get medical care as soon as possible, even if injuries seem minor. Many fall injuries, including soft tissue damage, concussions, and internal bleeding, may not be immediately apparent. Medical records also document the connection between your fall and injuries.

Consult an Arabic-Speaking Slip and Fall Attorney

Premises liability cases require proving the property owner was negligent. An attorney investigates the incident, gathers surveillance footage before it is erased, and builds your case. Consultation is free and confidential.
