Car accidents are governed by statutory law. Slip and fall cases are governed by common law. Therefore, there are more rules and procedures to follow regarding a car accident case. In a car accident, there is mandatory PIP insurance to pay for medical expenses up to $10,000.00. In a slip and fall incident, the property owner is not required to pay for any of your medical expenses – and if you do not have health insurance, your medical bills will not be paid. In a car accident case, a victim has to have a permanent impairment in order to recover any money for pain and suffering. In a slip and fall case, there is no such requirement.A skilled and experienced law firm can assist you with finding a doctor with no up front payment and possible getting the property owner to pay for a portion of the medical bills up front.
