Can I handle a slip and fall case myself?

You can try to handle a slip and fall case yourself, but these cases are often more difficult than car accidents. Proving liability in premises liability cases requires showing the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn you. Property owners and their insurers aggressively defend these claims, often arguing you should have seen the hazard or that they had no notice of the danger. If your injuries are minor, you might handle it yourself. For serious injuries from a slip and fall, professional representation is essential. Kane Trial Law secured a high seven-figure settlement for a client catastrophically injured in a slip and fall on a dangerous sidewalk, and won a $900,000+ jury verdict against Home Depot in a premises liability case. These results required aggressive litigation that an unrepresented individual simply cannot pursue.
