While you can try to navigate a trip and fall case on your own, an experienced trip and fall attorney can give you the expertise and confidence to successfully win compensation for your case.  When negotiating with an insurance company or the property owner’s attorney,  it is important to be wary of what you say. The insurance company will try to use their own evidence in determining a narrative of the fall, and can even use your own words against you. Without the assistance of a lawyer during proceedings, you may be at the mercy of the better negotiator. A trip and fall attorney knows how to handle property owners, and will work in your best interest during settlement proceedings.
