When looking for a slip and fall accident attorney to represent you, it is important to know that not all attorneys are equal.
While some slip and fall accidents only result in minor cuts and bruises, others can be catastrophic and even fatal. It is important to work with a lawyer who is experienced in this practice area.
In addition to the attorneys, look for the law firm with experienced personnel including paralegals, and researchers who have access to the resources and experts needed to build a strong case for you. This may include investigators as well as a team to analyze, negotiate, and litigate if needed on your behalf.
In addition, it’s not just the support team your slip and fall lawyer has, but the way they conduct themselves which is critical.
You are not a legal professional–your lawyer should be able to explain the process to you in terms you can understand. Further, the attorney-client relationship that is established should be one of mutual respect and trust–where you are able to speak openly and know your attorney is listening.
Finding a compassionate and dedicated team can be difficult, but it is worthwhile.
Not all lawyers are equipped to handle a slip and fall accident. Instead, you will want to focus on a premises liability lawyer.
Because of the nuances of premises liability law, it will be critical for the success of your case that your lawyer is well-versed in premises liability in your state and is prepared to go the extra mile for you.
Remember, at minimum, a property owner needs to alert you of a dangerous condition. But when they know of the condition and do nothing to remedy it, and someone gets hurt, there are many criteria that need to be met to prove negligence successfully.
At Regan Zambri Long, we have successfully won millions in premises liability settlements and verdicts for our clients. With more than 100 years of combined experience, our premises liability lawyers have the resources and legal knowledge required to protect your rights and guide you through the legal process. Recently, our firm obtained a settlement of $7.5 million in a premises liability claim.

Further, our team has been recognized by Best Lawyers for our work as community activists in premises liability.
Following a slip and fall accident that has resulted in injury, you likely are concerned about how you will keep up with the financial consequences.
A premises liability attorney at Regan Zambri Long can help you figure out what damages may be covered for your claim, including:
In cases of extreme neglect, you may be able to recover punitive damages, too.
While this is not an exhaustive list, know that you have options to seek economic and non economic damages following an injury. But do not settle before seeking legal advice. By settling, you may forfeit your right to seek legal action.
If you or a loved one has suffered serious injury or even wrongful death following a slip and fall case, you need the experience of a premises liability lawyer.
