When Someone Puts You in Danger, Get Paid

You were going about your business, running errands, when you arrived at a building that the owner wasn’t properly maintaining for visitors.

Maybe it was a pothole in the parking lot. Ice on the walkway. Or a spill on a hard floor inside.

You slipped. You fell. You broke a bone. Now you’re stuck with medical bills, missed work time, inconveniences and costs—because of a hazard in your path that you couldn’t foresee.

Or maybe you’re not stuck.

A slip-and-fall claim could bring you compensation for your losses so when you’re harmed by someone else’s negligence, you get payment that’s fair.

Slips and falls are among the most common types of personal injury claims.

But it’s not as simple as filing a complaint and getting paid. The property owner may fight you.

We want you to come away from working with us thinking “Helping me, that’s HNB.”

    Phases of Your Slip-and-Fall Injury Claim

    When you’re injured, get medical attention immediately. Your medical records form the core of your case. In a premises liability case like this, this is the process you’ll follow:

    Step 1: Investigation

    An HNB attorney will gather medical records, statements from witnesses and other evidence.

    Step 2: Starting a Personal Injury Claim

    Your attorney negotiates with the negligent party or their insurance company over the compensation you should receive. You could reach a settlement agreement with the property owner.

    Step 3: Filing a Lawsuit

    If you can’t agree on a settlement with the responsible party, your next step is to file a lawsuit.

    Step 4: Gathering Information for Your Lawsuit

    Lawsuits start with a process called “discovery,” which involves exchanging questions and answers with the property owner and giving statements under oath called depositions.

    Step 5: Going to Trial

    Most cases never get this far, but it can be the only way to get full compensation for your pain and losses.
