The term “slip and fall” quite often is inadequate for conveying how serious injuries can happen in the most innocuous circumstances. It is quite possible for a loose step, casually placed electrical wires or poor stair railings to cause a fall that results in paralysis injuries. Such injuries can easily render a person unable to work and overwhelm them financially with medical expenses.



Premises liability accidents are in the category of personal injuries shared with dog bites, falling objects, construction accidents and violent crime that are due in part or full to poor property management. As such, individuals who have suffered paralysis injuries are wise to get legal representation from a premises liability attorney when the property owner or manager can be found at fault.



This lawyer – sometimes known as a personal injury attorney or even a paralysis injury attorney – needs to sift through ...
... the forensic evidence around the incident. Questions need to be asked: Was there negligence (below a standard of care one would expect at comparable facilities) that led to the injury? Should maintenance staff have been better managed to remove hazards? Did the security firm charged with providing protection fail to provide it adequately? Did on-site construction workers not follow prescribed safety measures?



A skilled premises liability attorney will gather this evidence, as well as identify a strategy for pursuing damages. Settlements are often not part of the process and oftentimes the case goes to trial. It is imperative, therefore, to hire a paralysis injury attorney who is an experienced trial lawyer. Such a trial attorney will know that there will be counter-evidence on the part of the defendant, so your attorney will likely prepare a counter-response to that evidence. In the case of a paralysis injury, there is plenty of incentive to do so.



Contingency basis billing with personal injury attorneys



Whether your premises liability case caused you to suffer from a paralysis injury or other serious medical problem or property loss from poor premises management, you should discuss your case with a paralysis injury attorney as soon as possible. They will determine from the outset what your chances are for winning the case, and they will usually accept the case on a contingency basis.
