Slipping and falling on someone else’s property can have catastrophic consequences, including contusions, broken bones, and serious head trauma. Fortunately, many homeowners and renters’ insurance policies provide liability coverage to pay for an accident and personal injury. In many cases, your attorney can file a claim against the provider, collecting compensation on your behalf and reducing the financial burden of your damages.

Establish Owner Liability & Check Policy Limits

Homeowners are responsible for providing a safe environment for everyone who has a right to be there, including guests, contractors, and family members. If harm was caused by cluttered stairs, poorly maintained walkways, or obstacles on the floor, you may be eligible to file a claim against the accidents and personal injury coverage in their homeowners insurance policy.

The standard plan provides $100,000 in liability, which will cover most types of accidents and personal injury. However, if your losses exceed these limits, your attorney may have to file a lawsuit against the liable party to collect further compensation.

How an Accidents & Personal Injury Attorney Can Help

Insurance companies employ a variety of methods to minimize the value of a claim and may even make an offer before the full extent of your losses is known. An experienced attorney will collect the evidence to prove liability and negotiate with insurers on your behalf to get the amount you deserve.
