Introduction:

Slip and fall accidents often cause serious injuries that can have long-lasting effects. When these accidents result from property owner negligence, victims deserve compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. This case study illustrates how our Bronx slip and fall lawyers successfully represented a client and secured a favorable outcome.

Background:

Sarah T., a 34-year-old Bronx resident, slipped on water from a ceiling leak at a Coop-City grocery store. The store failed to address the hazard or provide warnings. Sarah suffered a fractured wrist, herniated disc, and concussion, leading to pain, limited mobility, and inability to work.

Initial Challenges:

Sarah required surgery and physical therapy, but the store’s insurance denied liability and offered a low settlement. Facing financial strain, Sarah sought our legal assistance.

Our Legal Approach:

1. Investigating the Incident:

We gathered evidence, including photos and footage, proving the store’s negligence in not addressing the leak.

2. Gathering Medical Evidence:

We worked with Sarah’s doctors to document the long-term impact of her injuries, supporting her claims for pain and suffering.

3. Dealing with the Insurance Company:

We countered their argument of shared fault with strong evidence of the store’s responsibility.

4. Calculating Compensation:

We calculated Sarah’s medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering to ensure fair compensation.

5. Negotiating a Fair Settlement:

We secured a much higher settlement, covering all medical costs, lost wages, and compensation for pain and suffering.

Outcome:

The settlement provided Sarah financial relief, allowing her to focus on recovery, while holding the store accountable.
