Why Do You Need an Attorney?

Dealing with Insurance Companies

It’s really no secret that insurance companies are not in the business of paying claims. If they make a settlement offer, it’s usually immediately following the accident, with little knowledge of the victim’s injuries or losses. This means that the offers are low and won’t even come close to covering all the victim’s needs. Sometimes their offers are downright insulting. Other times, they don’t make an offer at all, arguing that the victim’s claim is invalid.

Bigger Settlements for Accidents

One of the advantages of finding an injury lawyer as soon as possible following your accident is that you get the legal advice you need when it comes to insurance scams and bigger settlements. Studies from the Insurance Research Council have shown that personal injury claimants who file their own claims receive payments that are 3 ½ times less than claimants who have legal representation.

Common Causes of Falling Accidents in Alberta

Icy sidewalks and pathways during Alberta’s cold winter months certainly contribute to slipping and falling cases, but they are far from the only cause of injury. A serious fall can happen at any time, to anyone, of any age. In addition to icy streets, some other common causes of slip and fall accidents include:

  • Walkways that are obstructed by refuse or debris
  • Slippery floors, potentially caused by cleaning or polishing
  • Uneven, cracked, or broken floors
  • Damaged or defective staircases
  • Insufficient lighting
  • Unmarked hazards

Injuries Associated With A Serious Fall

Following a slip and fall accident, victims may be subjected to a wide variety of injuries ranging from very minor scrapes and bruises to very serious internal damage and head trauma. The fall may even provoke a pre-existing condition to worsen. The following is a non-exhaustive list of injuries that may result from a slip and fall accident.

  • Cuts, scrapes, and bruises
  • Bone fractures or broken bones
  • Concussions
  • Sprained muscles or torn ligaments
  • Neck and back pain
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Paralysis

These types of injuries can have permanently altering effects that put your career and quality of life in jeopardy. If you have been a victim of a slip and fall accident caused by a negligent property owner, it is crucial that you seek the advice of a professional injury lawyer to assist with your case.

Personal Injury Compensation

If you have sustained an injury from a slip and fall accident, you may be entitled to certain compensations depending on the circumstances of your case. Incidents that have limited your ability to work and earn wages, or require you to pay additional expenses as a result of the accident are strong reasons to pursue legal action. If this applies in your case, you may be entitled to one or more of the following compensations.

  • Recouping lost wages
  • Diminished capacity to work
  • Requirement of physical rehabilitation or physical therapy
  • Reimbursement for medical equipment or medication costs
  • The estimated cost of future treatment or care
  • Emotional pain and suffering damages
