Liability Disputes

Your claim depends on the ability to clearly establish that the other party was responsible for your safety and betrayed that duty of care, whether they are the property owner, tenant or maintenance company. You’ll also need to defend your claim against the other party’s insurance provider, who will try to devalue your claim to protect their bottom line. They may downplay your injuries and the impact they have had on your life, or they may argue that the hazard was obvious enough that it was your fault for getting injured.

Lack of Evidence

Sometimes, you may not have the evidence you need, even if the hazard seemed obvious at the time of the slip and fall. Evidence can get lost if the accident site isn’t preserved properly, and witnesses can have a hard time remembering if some time has passed since the accident. Even delaying treatment can hinder your chances of receiving fair compensation that fully covers your medical bills and lost wages. At Kanner & Pintaluga, we’ll promptly and thoroughly prepare your claim to help you get the compensation you need as soon as possible.

Pre-Existing Conditions

Insurance companies can give those with pre-existing conditions an especially hard time getting the compensation they deserve. Some insurance adjusters may try to use your pre-existing condition to diminish the severity of the slip and fall accident, arguing that your injuries were not directly related to the incident.

People injured in slip and falls who don’t get medical records from directly after the incident can feel like they’re facing an uphill battle to have the claim treated fairly. Our skilled personal injury attorneys will work hard to secure the best possible outcome for your claim.
