How Berger and Green Will Seek Justice After Your Slip and Fall in Plum

We are a full-service firm that will manage your slip and fall case in Plum from start to finish. While you see your doctors, rest, and focus on healing, your personal injury lawyer from Berger and Green will:

Determine the Negligent Acts That Caused Your Slip and Fall

Some common types of negligence that can cause slip and fall accidents are:

• Failing to clean up slipping hazards (or fix problems like leaking pipes that are causing the slipping hazard)
• Failing to put a perimeter around a slipping hazard one cannot clean up
• Not training employees on how to spot and remove slipping hazards
• Failing to install lighting, non-slip flooring, and other safety provisions to reduce the risk of slip and falls

Our team will evaluate the circumstances of your fall and identify how the liable parties failed you.

Secure Evidence of Negligence

We will gather evidence that helps prove who is responsible for your fall, including:

• Photographs of the slipping hazard
• Video footage of the hazard and possibly your slip and fall incident
• A premises liability expert’s testimony about the liable party’s failures
• Your account of the events
• Any admission by the liable party that they failed to protect you from a slipping hazard

We will waste no time in securing evidence, as it is not always available for long. This is a key reason not to wait to hire your Plum slip and fall attorney from Berger and Green.

Document and Calculate Your Damages

Your case will include documentation of your fall-related damages, including:

• Medical bills and records
• X-rays and any other diagnostic images of injuries
• Proof you cannot work due to injuries, which may come from doctors’ diagnoses, an employer’s testimony, or other evidence
• Past income statements to show the value of lost income
• A mental health provider’s diagnosis of your pain and suffering

This documentation may prevent the liable parties’ insurance companies from undervaluing your damages or denying your personal injury claim.

Negotiate a Settlement

Our attorneys are experienced, savvy negotiators. We will have a precise settlement figure in hand as we negotiate with liable parties.

Our settlement efforts will be supported by the evidence of negligence and documentation of your damages that we have already gathered.

Speak With You About a Lawsuit and Trial, If Necessary

We intend to secure a settlement that covers all the damages resulting from your fall. However, it is ultimately the parties’ decision whether to meet our settlement demands.

If an insurance company or those who caused your fall refuse to pay you fairly, we’ll discuss filing a lawsuit with you. If you choose to file a lawsuit (and go to trial afterward if you still don’t receive a fair offer), the Berger and Green team will guide you through the legal system.

• The cost of medical equipment
• Pain and suffering
• Mental health treatment costs
• Lost income
• Diminished earning power
