Why You Need a Lawyer to Help You With Your Case

Seeking legal advice and representation after a slip and fall accident can make an enormous difference in the outcome of your claim. Even if the property owner feels sorry and gives you everything you need to make your claim, the insurers will try to pay as little as possible. Here’s why we can get you more than what they’re offering you:

We Know the California Premises Liability Laws

With over 20 years of experience in California premises liability cases, we know the laws, the cases, and the legal landscape for slip and fall accidents. We can point out to insurers when they interpret the rules in their favor and fight them using the law and the facts to get you fair compensation for your slip and fall accident.

We Know How to Negotiate

Your compensation is more than just a tallying of the bills you have so far. Future costs and other damages require skillful negotiation and a comprehensive evaluation of how much your accident will cost you. You cannot get more money once you settle, so our El Dorado Hills slip and fall accident lawyers will work hard to get you as much as we can.

Litigation Experience

While most cases settle out of court, sometimes litigation is required in order to achieve justice and safeguard your interests. Our El Dorado Hills slip and fall accident lawyers have deep litigation experience in these cases.

We prepare every case as if it may go to trial. If an insurer stands their ground and refuses to pay you a fair settlement amount, our passionate advocates will fight in the courtroom to persuade the judge and jury that you deserve maximum compensation.

Examples of Hazards in Slip and Fall Cases

Tripping over your own feet on someone’s property isn’t enough to win a slip and fall case. There must be a negligent cause that could have been reasonably foreseen. Some common causes include:

• Uneven or damaged flooring (broken sidewalks, loose carpet, uneven steps)
• Dangerous staircases (broken handrails, loose steps)
• Inadequate lighting
• Wet or slippery floors (ice, spills, freshly cleaned floors)
• Negligent maintenance
• Failure to warn people about a danger that cannot be fixed right away

If you’ve been injured after a fall in El Dorado Hills, our lawyers can help you protect your rights. They will investigate what happened and determine the cause of your fall. If it happened because a property owner failed to keep you safe, you have a case, and we can help you through the legal process.

How Soon Must I File My Slip and Fall Claim?

After any personal injury accident in California, the clock starts ticking on the statute of limitations. This is the deadline for starting a lawsuit. You have two years from your accident date to file your claim. If you don’t, the California courts will reject your case.

This is one reason lawyers urge people to call them as soon as possible after an accident. Prompt action gives them more time to investigate, negotiate, and construct a strong case before they’re forced to take your case to trial.

Our El Dorado Hills slip and fall accident lawyers are diligent and efficient, but it takes time to make a strong case. By calling us as soon as you’ve seen a doctor and have reported your accident to the police, you’ll get the most benefit from our services.

Are Your Services Expensive?

Personal injury lawyers do not charge an up-front fee (a retainer) or an hourly fee. Instead, we only get paid if we’re successful. Our fee is contingent on you winning the case and getting compensation because we can only get paid through your compensation.

If you lose and get nothing, you will owe Triumph Law nothing for our services. If you win, our firm takes a percentage of whatever you won in your case. Any lawyer worth your time can explain how their help will net you more money than fighting your case on your own, even after they take their fee out.

Your contingency fee percentage will depend on how difficult your case is and how far we must go to win. Going to trial is expensive, so those cases have a higher fee. We will discuss what the percentage for your case will be during your case evaluation.
