A slip and fall can leave lasting affects. You can be injured, causing you to need frequent medical care. These bills can then begin to add up. If your injuries then keep you from working, you may find yourself in a difficult financial situation.
If this has happened to you because of a slip and fall at a motel, filing a personal injury claim can help you recover compensation. A personal injury lawyer can help increase the chances of filing a successful personal injury claim against the motel.
How an Attorney Can Help Your Claim
To have a successful claim, you will need to prove the motel was negligent and that is what caused your slip and fall. This means providing enough evidence to demonstrate that you were not at fault for the slip and fall. A personal injury attorney will know what you need to use as evidence and can help you gather it.
You and your lawyer will work to collect things like witness statements, medical invoices, video footage, estimated missed wages, etc. Your attorney will then compile these and compose a demand letter to send to the offending party. If you chose to not work with a lawyer, you may neglect important facts in your demand letter or forget evidence that is needed so support your claim.
