The vast majority of civil claims, such as premises liability, personal injury, and medical malpractice claims, are settled out of court. Chances are, yours will be too. However, if the property owner’s insurance provider fails to offer a fair settlement in your case, you deserve to have an attorney who is confident in his or her ability to win your case through litigation. It should be noted that litigating slip and fall cases can be a costly endeavor, so prior to taking these measures the victim and his attorney must show that the property owner or an employee’s negligent actions were instrumental in the cause of the fall.
