Do I Need an Attorney After a Slip and Fall?

Yes. You cannot juggle healing from your injuries with handling the insurance company-especially if they don't want to pay you enough to cover the cost of your injuries.

When you start working with our firm, we get to work immediately.

A Myrtle Beach slip and fall lawyer from our firm can:

• Investigate the accident. This includes reviewing the accident report and any video or photographic evidence of your injuries. With this evidence, we can determine who the liable party is and build a case against them. Our goal is to prove their negligence caused your injuries.
• Handle communications with the insurance company and opposing attorneys. The last thing you probably want to do while recovering from an accident is talk to the insurance company. Our attorneys can speak to them for you. Having us handle all communications also ensures that you don't say anything that can be used against you. Saying the wrong thing is sometimes a costly mistake.
• Handle all other legal matters. We can take care of anything else related to your claim or lawsuit. Our goal is to take the case off your plate, so you can focus on recovering from your injuries.
• Negotiate a fair settlement. Our team has experienced negotiators who know how to work with insurance companies to reach a fair settlement.
• Take your case to court, if necessary. If we can't reach a fair settlement, we prepare to take your case to court and prove why you deserve to recover the maximum amount of compensation.

We think you'll agree that the benefits of hiring an attorney for your slip-and-fall case far outweigh any negatives. The team at Morris Law Accident Injury Lawyers can make a stressful situation less worrisome by providing legal guidance along the way.

You Could Recover Compensation After a Myrtle Beach Slip and Fall Accident

After sustaining an injury on someone else's property, the liable party might owe you a significant amount of compensation. Typically, the compensation you could receive correlates with the severity of your injuries and how much they have or will impact your life. "Damages" are the amount of money that a liable party (such as a homeowner or business owner) owes someone else for causing their injuries.

You may recover both economic and non-economic damages after a slip and fall accident. Economic damages are monetary losses you sustain, while non-economic damages are non-monetary losses.

Economic Damages

Examples of economic damages you could recover include:

• The out-of-pocket costs you had to pay for medical care. For instance, you could recover compensation if you had to go to the hospital or have surgery after a slip and fall. Medical expenses may also include emergency room fees, medications, diagnostic tests, and doctor visits.
• The estimated cost of future medical bills. It's typical for certain injuries to require medical care far into the future. If this is the case for you, a slip and fall accident attorney from our firm can help estimate your future medical bills.
• The money you lost if you had to miss work because of your injuries. You could recover any type of income (wages, tips, bonuses, etc.) you lost while recovering from the accident. This also includes when you had to miss work for medical procedures, such as surgeries or doctor visits.
• The estimated cost of future lost income. If your injuries have diminished your earning capacity, you could recover compensation for the estimated cost of your future lost income. Our team can calculate this cost for you.

Non-Economic Damages

Examples of non-economic damages you could recover include:

• Pain and suffering damages if you have experienced physical pain. Even if your pain only lasted for a short time after the accident, you could recover compensation for physical pain. This also includes any ongoing pain and discomfort you experience because of your injuries.
• Emotional distress damages if you have psychological issues because of your injuries. You could recover compensation for depression, anxiety, fear, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), sleep issues, and more.

Non-economic damages are harder to calculate because they are not associated with an exact monetary value. Our firm can help determine how much you could recover in non-economic damages to set an estimated value for your entire case.

Proving That the Property Owner's Negligence Caused Your Injuries

To recover compensation from the liable party, you must prove their negligence caused your injuries. Proving negligence requires you to show that all four elements of negligence are satisfied.

They are:

• Duty of care: The property owner or tenant of the property owner had a duty of care to keep the property in a safe condition.
• Breach of duty: The property owner or tenant of the property owner breached their duty of care by not maintaining the property and keeping it free of hazards.
• Causation: The injury occurred because of this breach of the duty of care. If the breach of duty had not occurred, the victim would not have sustained an injury. One example of this is the "but for" test. But for the hazardous condition, the injury would not have occurred.
• Damages: The victim incurred economic and non-economic damages because of their injuries.

The attorneys at Morris Law Accident Injury Lawyers know how to build a case to prove another party's negligence caused your injuries and losses.

South Carolina Gives You Limited Time to File a Lawsuit

If you sustained an injury on someone else's property in Myrtle Beach, you have a limited time to file a lawsuit against the liable party. According to S.C. Ann. §15-3-530, you generally have three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit.

While this may sound like a long time, keep in mind that there are several steps we need to take before we can file a lawsuit.

These steps include:

• Investigating your case and determining liability
• Reviewing your recoverable damages and gathering documentation to prove you sustained them
• Building a solid case strategy against the liable party
• Negotiating with the insurance company and opposing attorneys for a fair settlement

Because of these steps and more, it's helpful to contact an attorney soon after your slip and fall accident. Contacting us quickly gives us the longest amount of time to prepare your case. We want you to have the best outcome possible-with an ample amount of time, the attorneys at Morris Law Accident Injury Lawyers can work to provide that.
