When Will My Slip And Fall Injury Lawsuit Be Resolved?

After suffering a slip and fall injury, your entire life can feel as if it has been turned upside down. You are dealing with injuries that could be severely limiting your mobility, ability to care for yourself and loved ones, and even go to work and earn a living. What makes these injury incidents even more frustrating is that, in many cases, they are caused by someone else’s negligence and could have easily been prevented.

You should try to understand that slip and fall injury incidents are prevalent and result in over one million emergency room visits each year. In addition, in most instances, there was nothing the victim could have done to prevent the incident. They were not being careless or rushing. They simply succumbed to the hazard that was left by or overlooked by the caretaker of a property. In these cases, please know that you should not feel obligated to cover the expenses and losses caused by someone else’s negligence and poor choices. Instead, you need to contact Normandie Law Firm to discuss how you can hold the responsible party accountable for their actions and the harm that those actions and choices caused.

Our office staff can be reached around the clock to help you understand the rights of personal injury victims and how our team of expert slip and fall injury attorneys will work tirelessly to ensure you and your future financial stability are protected from costly debt caused by negligence. In addition, we hope that you will accept our offer for a free consultation with a slip and fall injury expert to discuss your case in more detail. After you have shared the facts of the incident and your Normandie Law Firm attorney has gathered all the critical information, they will provide you with a complete review of the legal merit of the case and your ability to seek compensation via a slip and fall injury lawsuit.

With this information, you will feel confident in making choices that could significantly impact the rest of your life. But please also know that you will never be obligated to file a slip and fall injury lawsuit or hire Normandie Law Firm, even if you later choose to pursue legal action. Our purpose in providing all of this valuable information for free is to ensure that all personal injury victims understand the protection provided by the legal system and how to use it to secure any compensation owed to them for the harm they suffered due to negligence. All we ask is that you reach out to our team as quickly as possible, as there is a time limit to file a lawsuit that could be shorter than you might expect. Once that time has passed, there is little even the expert legal team at Normandie Law Firm can do to assist you in securing the justice you deserve.

Common Slip And Fall Injuries And Their Causes
Unfortunately, many slip and fall incidents result in significant harm to the victim rather than a minor cut or bruise. It is also regrettable that more slip and fall victims are elderly, making them more likely to suffer severe injuries due to their overall health and preexisting conditions. This makes the common injuries caused by slip and fall incidents, as listed below, even more upsetting and lengthy to heal.

• Severe lacerations and puncture wounds
• Broken or shattered bones
• Joint dislocations and damage to the soft connective tissue of the joints
• Harm to the neck, back, and spinal cord
• Facial injuries to the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and delicate skin of the face
• Damage to internal organs and internal bleeding
• Soft tissue and nerve damage

Head injuries that can range from a severe concussion or skull fracture to a brain bleed or other traumatic brain injuries

The simple issues that cause these horrendous injuries are often very simple to correct or eliminate and can include:

• Wet leaves or litter left in parking areas, on steps, or on sidewalks
• Missing floor mats at exterior doors
• Saturated floor mats at entry doors
• Water leaking onto the floor from leaking pipes, water lines, or malfunctioning plumbing fixtures
• Clogged drains cause water to back up onto the floor
• Spilled water or other drinks and food that are not properly cleaned up
• Floors that were recently mopped but have no caution signs displayed to warn guests of the increased potential for a slip and fall incident
• Loose flooring or carpet
• Electrical cords left in walkways

Who Is Responsible For My Slip And Fall Injury Incident?
It is unfortunate that many slip and fall injury victims blame themselves for the incident that caused them harm. They assume they were not being careful or were rushing and causing the accident. However, it is more common for slip and fall injury incidents to occur when a property owner or their staff fail to meet their legal obligation under premises liability law, which requires them to provide a specific level of maintenance and safety for guests.

In these incidents, the staff or owner is considered negligent in their duty of care if they fail to routinely inspect the property and correct any safety hazards in a prompt manner. In addition, if it is later determined that the staff or owner’s negligence caused or contributed to the slip and fall injuries of a guest on the property, the owner can be held responsible for the losses and expenses faced by the victim due to their injuries. Please reach out to Normandie Law Firm today if you feel negligence was a factor in your slip and fall injuries and should be explored to provide you with a financial solution to these costs.

What Factors Will Influence When My Slip And Fall Injury Lawsuit Is Resolved?
As you discuss your case with a skilled lawyer at Normandie Law Firm, you will learn more about the factors that will impact how long you must wait to receive the compensation owed to you for the injuries you suffered. In general, you should know that the following items will play a role in the timing of your payment:

• The severity of your injuries and the prognosis for a complete or partial recovery
• The actions of the other parties involved in the case
• The workload of the court
• The skill of your legal team

While you have little ability to influence the first three items on the list, the last one is completely within your control. Hiring the expert legal team at Normandie Law Firm will ensure the most speedy resolution to the case possible. Our decades of experience handling these cases and dedication to getting our clients the compensation they need as quickly as possible will certainly provide the results you want and need when resolving your slip and fall injury lawsuit.

How Much Is The Average Slip And Fall Injury Lawsuit Worth?
Victims of personal injuries should know that there are no predetermined compensation amounts for certain injuries and incidents. Instead, each case is reviewed, and the compensation awarded by the court is derived from the actual losses and expenses incurred by the victim. Working with your Normandie Law Firm legal team, you will compile all the allowable expenses you incurred due to your injuries, which typically include but are not limited to:

• All current and future medical expenses related to the care and rehabilitation of your slip and fall injuries
• The cost to replace any personal property that was damaged in the slip and fall injury incident
• Your lost income if the slip and fall injuries you sustained prevent you from working at your regular job until you are fully recovered
• The cost of all legal services and expenses related to the preparation, filing, and litigation of your slip and fall injury lawsuit

In cases that result in significant harm and require a lengthy time to recover, you will be permitted to seek added compensation for your pain and suffering. Because this is not a documented amount, as are your lost wages and medical expenses, you will select a fair and reasonable amount for this portion of the compensation with the guidance of your Normandie Law Firm legal team.

How Much Time Do I Have To File A Slip And Fall Lawsuit?
Victims of personal injuries are given two years from the date of the injury incident to file a lawsuit with the court. If they do not have the case filed in that time, they lose the right to seek compensation and justice for the losses and expenses created by that specific incident. In addition, there are very limited exceptions that provide additional time to file a claim once the original time limit has passed. Finally, it is critical to understand that in cases where the liable party is a government agency or entity like a city or the IRS, the time provided for victims to file a lawsuit is reduced to only six months from the date of the incident. Please reach out to Normandie Law Firm today to discuss the time remaining for you to take legal action.

When you hire the team at Normandie Law Firm, please know that our firm never gets paid for our work until the case is completed, and you have the compensation that includes funds to cover your legal costs and expenses. In addition, if your Normandie Law Firm slip and fall injury attorney fails to win your case and deliver the compensation you need to cover your bills and expenses, you owe the firm nothing for its time and investment in preparing and filing your case.
