Slip-And-Fall Accident Claim - A Good Chance For Compensation
Responsibility comes to a call especially on a slip-and-fall accident.
The question is who is responsible? Such accident happens to a lot of people, thousands per year as believed.
Slipping through a wet or broken floor and fall into it may cause a major injury, or running through a see-through glass wall without a sign or walking on a rippled carpet or falling in the stairs.
If unfortunately you have been injured this way, there are some few things to consider before you come to a conclusion to who is going to be held responsible for what happened.
First, you have to come to acknowledge that it is but normal to our everyday lives that sometimes we slip or fall into places that seem not dangerous, or that in time some smooth surfaces may become uneven.
We have the obligation to watch ourselves to where we're going to, and what to avoid as we walk through hallways that may be slippery or being in places that is accident prone.
Keep in mind that a property owner cannot always be responsible for a person who slipped or tripped on a place where an ordinary citizen is expected to know and avoid or at least to be cautious in places that may be precipitated to such accidents.
However, the owner of a property is obliged in keeping their property safe at all times.
Property owner may be responsible if the reasons are reasonable enough to be considered as such; like if the property owner doesn't have a regular check up of the premises for cleaning or repairing.
And if there is no proof that the owner does have regular maintenance to keep the place clean, safe and repair-free.
Another angle to consider; for example, is that if you slipped or tripped on a broken floor, or torn carpet, or wet or loose area, and the dangerous spot has been there long enough for the owner to notice it but hasn't done any action to fix it, the owner could be liable for it.
There are more reasons or angles to look into like no warning signs provided to avoid accidents; or barriers have been left in place more than expected when it had been safe if it was removed on time when it has served its purpose.
By merely just analyzing those reasons you may have a good chance to have claim for compensation.
Having a slip-and-fall case, you must also think through whether your carelessness has contributed to the accident.
Measure your own reasons on what you must have done and where you may have gone before the accident happened prior to declaring your claim.
You have to think if a careful person would notice a dangerous spot and avoid it or walk cautiously enough not to slip and fall.
Proving to a insurance adjuster that you were careful would not be necessary, but weighing things up and analyzing what really happened and describing it as clear as crystal would lead to full understanding of the insurance adjuster that you were not careless at all and by all means would give you a great chance for a compensation you think you deserve.
