Slip and falls are among the most common types of accidents in the United States every year. This is because they can occur in almost any setting.

Sometimes, these accidents happen because property owners fail to address hazardous conditions like spills, loose flooring, etc. If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall accident in the West Chester, Pennsylvania area, and you suspect a negligent property owner is to blame, you may be eligible to receive compensation for your medical bills and other such losses.

Learn more about your options by reviewing your case with a West Chester slip and fall accident attorney. If you have justification to file a claim, we can provide effective representation on your behalf.

COMMON CAUSES OF WEST CHESTER, PA SLIP AND FALL ACCIDENTS

Negligent property owners may put guests, employees, and others with a legal right to be on their properties at risk of being harmed in accidents by:

  • Failing to apply deicing agents after winter storms
  • Failing to install adequate outdoor lighting to illuminate obstructions in parking lots and other outdoor areas
  • Not training employees to monitor for spills at retail stores, restaurants, etc.
  • Not replacing broken or loose flooring in a timely manner

Those are just a few examples. It can sometimes be difficult to ascertain whether a property owner’s unreasonable negligence was the cause of a slip and fall accident. If you were harmed in such an accident, but you’re not sure whether you have grounds to seek compensation, review your case with one of our West Chester slip and fall accident attorneys to discuss your legal options.

HOW A WEST CHESTER SLIP AND FALL ACCIDENT LAWYER CAN HELP YOU PURSUE COMPENSATION

You may seek financial compensation for various losses/damages resulting from a slip and fall or trip and fall accident in West Chester if you can demonstrate that your accident occurred because a property owner or manager was unreasonably negligent. Losses for which you may seek compensation include (but aren’t necessarily limited to):

  • Bills for medical treatment, which may include the cost of future medical care if your injuries leave you in need of ongoing treatment
  • Lost wages
  • Pain and suffering and other such non-economic damages

Pursuing the compensation you deserve will typically involve filing a claim with the negligent party’s insurance. Be aware that the insurance company may attempt to deny your claim by arguing that you haven’t provided evidence indicating your accident resulted from unreasonable carelessness on the part of the insured. At the very least, the insurance company may try to settle your claim for less than it’s worth.

A qualified West Chester slip and fall accident lawyer could help you pursue the compensation for which you’re eligible by:

  • Gathering evidence of negligence via an investigation into your accident
  • Adding up your losses to determine your claim’s potential value
  • Negotiating with the insurance company
