Do I need an injury lawyer to help with my slip and fall case?
Unfortunately, insurance companies are notorious for low-balling self-represented people.
What might initially seem like a simple, open and shut case can quickly become a complicated mess.
Alabama premises liability law is complex. Proving “liability” (i.e., who is at fault) is often a key battlefield in Alabama slip and fall cases.
The burden of proof falls on you – the injured party – to prove the business owner or property manager is at fault.
Here are some common questions to consider after a Birmingham, AL slip and fall:
- Was the business on notice of the wet floor or other hazard prior to the fall? If so, when was the business first put on notice?
- If the business did not have prior notice of the hazard, should they have known about it beforehand?
- Were employees of the business in the general vicinity of the hazard? For how long?
- Was there surveillance video of the incident or the hazardous condition? If not, did the business destroy the video?
These are only some of the questions that often come up in Birmingam slip and fall cases.
