This is a very common question, one we hear probably more often than any other question. You’ve been in a car wreck and the insurance company has offered you a settlement (often before you talk to an attorney) and you wonder if it’s a fair and reasonable offer. It may seem like a lot of money… it may seem like not nearly enough, but how can you know if it’s fair? And more importantly, how can you know if you’re leaving money on the table?
The website of the National Safety Council says that an estimated 8 million people in the United States each year make a trip to the emergency room due to injuries suffered as a result of a slip and fall accident. Pretty much everyone has fallen down at some point in our lives, some of us many times. While some of these falls are due to simple clumsiness, others may be caused by slick floors, tripping over a hazard, or by other dangerous conditions on someone’s property. These causes are what are known as hazards, and they can inflict a lot more damage than most people think, sometimes permanent.
Chances are that at some time in your life, maybe (but hopefully not) even a few occasions, you will experience something bad, some kind of harm that you didn’t cause, that makes you ask this question. Do I have a case?
Our justice system recognizes and understands that victims who are injured as a result of someone else’s conduct should not be forced to carry the burden of their losses. That’s why our justice system provides victims and their families with a legal pathway to hold at-fault parties accountable for their actions and then also hold them liable financially for any damages they may have caused. However, just because these pathways are built into the system doesn’t always mean that they are easy to understand and navigate. They also don’t guarantee that victims will receive the financial compensation they are entitled to (or even any compensation at all).
