Fees, Costs and Case Results
Where representation is offered on a contingency basis there is no attorney fee unless we recover, and the firm advances case costs — filing fees, expert witnesses and medical records — which are then repaid out of any recovery. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney fee. The specific terms that apply to a matter are set out in the written fee agreement for that matter.
Where this site refers to a verdict, settlement or court order, that result was dependent on the facts of that case, and results will differ if based on different facts. Past results do not predict or guarantee the outcome of any other matter, and no particular outcome is promised or guaranteed.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the most common slip and fall injuries?
- The most common injuries include traumatic brain injuries (TBI), spinal cord damage, hip fractures, broken wrists and arms (from trying to catch yourself), knee injuries, shoulder injuries, and soft tissue damage. Elderly victims are particularly susceptible to hip fractures, which can be life-threatening.
- Should I go to the emergency room after a slip and fall?
- Yes, you should seek immediate medical attention after any slip and fall accident, even if you feel fine. Some injuries like traumatic brain injuries and internal bleeding may not show symptoms immediately. Getting prompt medical care also creates documentation linking your injuries to the accident.
- What should I tell the doctor after a slip and fall?
- Be completely honest about how the accident occurred, all symptoms you are experiencing (even minor ones), your pain levels, and any limitations in movement or function. Mention if you hit your head, even if you did not lose consciousness. This information is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment.
- How long should I continue medical treatment?
- Continue all recommended treatment until your doctor determines you have reached maximum medical improvement (MMI). Stopping treatment early can harm both your health and your legal case. Insurance companies may argue that gaps in treatment mean your injuries were not serious.
- What if my injuries get worse over time?
- Some slip and fall injuries, particularly head injuries and soft tissue damage, can worsen over time. Keep detailed records of any new or worsening symptoms and report them to your doctor immediately. This documentation is important for your legal case and ensures you receive appropriate care.
