How Slip and Fall Cases Work
Slip and falls can happen just about anywhere. You may have been in a grocery store when you rounded the corner and slipped in a spill that had been left uncleaned. You may have been at a friend’s house and tripped on the stairs because they hadn’t installed a handrail. Maybe you were walking down the street and tripped over a broken sidewalk. Any given situation has one thing in common, and that is the liable party. The liable party is the person who is directly responsible for your accident and therefore responsible for your injuries.
Do You Need Legal Help?
If you have been hurt in a slip and fall, then you are entitled to seek compensation for your damages. We will fight by your side against the liable party to make sure that you get results that are full and fair.
A lot of the time, people are concerned with bringing a claim if they know the person whose property they fell on. Please understand that when you bring a slip and fall case you are not directly suing the person whose property you fell on. You get compensation from their insurance company. Insurance companies are in existence to take care of accidents such as yours.
Your lawyers will go up against the insurance company to get you the results that you deserve. The insurance company is going to try to save themselves money by making your case seem less valuable. They do that primarily through a recorded statement that they will try to get from you shortly after you were hurt in a slip and fall. They will reach out to you and ask you to answer some questions. You have no legal obligation to do this for them. In fact, we strongly encourage you to let your lawyers handle communications with the insurance company.

How Compensation for Slip and Fall is Determined
When any personal injury case is being looked at in terms of damages, it is broken up into two categories: economic damages and non-economic damages.
Economic damages are things you can typically see and prove on paper. They include things like your medical bills, cost of rehab, lost wages from missed time at work, etc. Any monies that should still be in your pocket but is not because of your slip and fall are your economic damages.
Non-economic damages are harder to put a dollar amount on because they are things like your pain and suffering, reduced life quality, mental health impact, etc. You can’t as easily put a number on how your life has changed since your accident, but it is included in your compensation.
Once you get to maximum medical recovery, your Boise slip and fall lawyers will be able to get a better understanding of what your compensation award should look like. If some lawyer tells you at the first consultation that they can get you a certain amount in compensation, you should probably keep looking for representation because that’s not how personal injury cases work. We need to be able to fully understand your case before valuing it, which is impossible to do at the first meeting.
Get Immediate Medical Attention
It is extremely important that you get medical attention as soon as possible. Some people put it off for one reason or the other. That’s not only going to put you in a worse spot in terms of your health, it is also going to make it harder to build a strong case. The insurance company sees a delay in medical treatment as a reason to devalue your claim. We also need to fully understand your medical situation, so the sooner you get to a doctor, the better.
