After a slip and fall, many people don’t know where to begin. That’s why we take the time to walk you through each part of the process. Chamlin, Uliano & Walsh starts by asking questions about what happened and how your injuries are affecting your life. We look into the property where you fell and gather anything that helps us tell your story—photos, reports, or even video footage if it’s available. We also talk with doctors and other experts when we need help explaining how serious your injury is. Once we know what happened, we work on filing a claim. Sometimes, that means talking with the other side’s insurance company. If they don’t offer a fair deal, we’re ready to take the case to court. Our goal is to help you get money for your bills, missed work, and the pain you’ve gone through. We don’t let our clients feel alone—we’re with you from start to finish.
People fall all the time in parking lots with potholes, stairwells with broken railings, and walkways covered in ice. We’ve worked with clients who were hurt in restaurants, retail stores, and even nursing homes because someone left a dangerous condition unchecked. When someone doesn’t take care of their property and someone else gets hurt, that’s where we come in.
After falling, the first thing many people feel is shock. Your body hurts, and your mind races with questions. We always say to take care of your health first. Go see a doctor and follow their instructions. You’ll want medical records that show your injuries. If the fall happened in a store, restaurant, or parking lot, let someone in charge know. If they fill out a report, ask for a copy. If you’re able, use your phone to take photos of the scene and anything that may have caused the fall. We also tell clients to hold on to the clothes they wore that day—don’t wash them. They might help show how and why the fall happened. Try not to talk to insurance companies before speaking with us. They may ask questions that sound harmless but are meant to protect the business, not you. Also, be careful with social media. A single photo or comment can be used against you. If you’re feeling unsure, we’ll help you figure out what to do.
When someone gets hurt from a slip and fall, there’s usually more to worry about than just the pain. Doctor visits, therapy, and time away from work can add up fast. Our job is to make sure you’re paid for everything this injury has taken from you. We help clients get money for their past and future medical care, lost income, and how the injury has affected their life. Some people are never able to return to the job they once had. Others have to live with pain every day. If the injury has caused problems in your marriage or family, we can bring that into the case, too. In rare situations, we may also ask the court to award extra damages if the property owner was especially reckless.
