Slip & Fall

Everett Slip & Fall Accident Lawyer

Slip and fall accidents can cause varying injuries, from minor to major and life threatening.  Each individual case must be evaluated to determine what claims should be made with regard to damages. Some slip & fall injury cases include catastrophic injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, severe fractures, while others may have soft tissue injuries which will restrict the victim from being able to work, and require rehabilitation and treatment. All such cases that include damages require the assistance of an Everett personal injury attorney from Baker, Lewis Schwisow & Laws, PLLC. Our legal team has extensive experience in assisting the injured in serious slip & fall injury accidents, and we will evaluate your claim with regard to damages and what compensation should be sought from the insurance company involved.

Slip & Fall Injury Cases in Everett

Every property manager and owner, whether a residence, commercial enterprise, store, government office, sidewalk or other premises has the duty to protect visitors to the property from undue harm. Our legal team makes it our mission to assist those who have suffered injury due to the breach of this duty of care. Any walking surface that is uneven, wet, slippery, oily or has hazards such as items in the way that could contribute to a serious injury accident must be held accountable for the costs, both economic and non-economic that are the result of their negligence in maintaining their property.

Although slip & fall accidents are often considered a minor incident, in fact, many people lose their lives every year in such accidents. If you have lost a loved one in a slip & fall, a wrongful death claim can be filed on behalf of the close family. In cases in which the injured victim has not lost their lives, but has suffered injury to the degree that they require medical attention, lose work, and suffer any other damages, our legal team can fight to ensure that you get the compensation you deserve. It is important not to discuss your injuries with an insurance company adjuster until you have retained legal counsel from our firm to avoid the problems that can come about including a low settlement that is insufficient, considering all the damages suffered in the case.
