Southern Indiana Slips, Trips And Falls Attorney

Very serious accidents can result from slips, trips and falls on private or public property. Even a mere slip on a wet floor in a grocery store or a trip on a floating casino riverboat could cause an injury that takes months or years to fully recover from. An unexpected fall can cause injuries that require surgery and/or rehabilitation. According to the National Floor Safety Institute, falls account for over 8 million hospital visits and fractures can occur in almost 5 percent of the people who fall. In addition, the Consumer Product Safety Commission has reported that floors and flooring materials contribute directly to more than 2 million fall injuries each year.

How Will You Recover?

Recovering from such an accident is costly and time-consuming and can be painful. You might have to take time off from work and make difficult adjustments to your life, especially if you experience temporary or permanent disability.

It is important not to disregard the fall after it happens. An injury could develop or be aggravated days or even weeks later.

Clients Ask: Can I Sue Kroger? Can I Sue Walmart?

Kroger is the largest supermarket chain with over 2500 stores in the United States.  Along with having a large number of locations and employees, along comes a large number of injury claims.  When you slip and fall at Kroger, your claim will be handled by an adjustor that does not want to pay your claim. Kroger and other supermarket chains carry insurance, however it is not uncommon for the claims to be denied.

Walmart is the largest company in the world and it is one of the most difficult to recover damages from.  As you can imagine, slips and falls in parking lots and inside the store can happen at any time. Many clients think that since Walmart is so large, how could they sue Walmart for a slip and fall accident? In fact, many attorneys turn down slip and fall cases due to the complexity and agressiveness of Walmart and other large companies. One landmark case that has helped change Kentucky law is Lanier v. Walmart Stores. This case helped to shift the burden of proof from the customer to the store owner, and in this case Walmart. That is why hiring a personal injury attorney that has dealt with Walmart and is not afraid to file a lawsuit on your behalf is to your advantage.

If you are injured in a slip and fall accident, it is important that you seek medical attention and that your injuries are clearly documented by a medical provider. Don't let your slip and fall at Walmart, Kroger or another retailer change your life, call to schedule a free consultation to discuss your case with an attorney that fights against large supermarket chains and big box retailers. Experience Does Matter! Don't you deserve the best slip and fall attorney?
