Austin Slip and Fall Accident Lawyers

The first step to getting your claim the attention it deserves is to contact Lorenz & Lorenz for a free assessment of your case. After going over the details, we will explain all of your legal options and help you decide how best to move forward. Once your case is in our hands, you can relax and let us handle the rest.

We immediately begin working to strengthen your case by gathering all relevant medical records, witness statements, and any other documentation that demonstrates the property owner’s negligence and culpability.

Our attorneys will handle all of the negotiations with the responsible party’s insurance, passionately advocating on your behalf for fair compensation.

While most slip and fall lawsuits can be handled through negotiations with the insurance companies, your attorney at Lorenz & Lorenz is prepared to take your case to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached.

Once a settlement has been agreed upon, your lawyer will present you with all of the options at your disposal. If you choose to accept the offer, we stay by your side, doing everything in our power to get the check in your hands as quickly as possible.

The first thing to do after the accident is to seek medical attention for your injuries. If you have to call emergency services for help, be sure to file a report, as this can be used later as evidence in your case.

If you are able, take pictures of the area in which you fell and gather contact information for any witnesses.

It is also important to report your accident to a business manager, landlord, or property owner, getting a written copy of the report for yourself if possible.

Insurance companies are determined to provide the least possible payout. They may try to get you to admit fault without you realizing it, or they may make you an offer for less than you deserve. When the insurance company calls, direct them straight to your attorney at Lorenz & Lorenz.

Even minor injuries can become more severe as time goes on. It can be difficult to determine whether you will face future medical expenses for problems that haven’t arisen yet. The best thing to do is to be evaluated by a doctor for any and all injuries, then call an experienced personal injury law firm, such as Lorenz & Lorenz, that has experience assessing the possibility of future damages.

No, there will be no criminal charges pressed in a slip and fall lawsuit. These are considered civil suits in which damages are awarded both to provide you compensation for your financial losses and to motivate the property owner to be more responsible in the future so that others will be safe on their property.

Whether your injury occurred on public or private property, you may still have the right to seek compensation for your damages. Injuries resulting from negligence, such as slip and fall incidents, are not constrained to happening only in public spaces. If you’ve been injured on private property due to unsafe conditions or lack of maintenance, the owner of the property can still be held accountable.

Just like in cases involving public places, proving that the owner knew or should have known about hazardous conditions and failed to take appropriate action is key. If successful in establishing this negligence, you would typically file a claim against the property owner’s insurance company.

It’s important to note that laws around injuries on private property can be complex and vary widely depending on specific circumstances. Therefore, you must consult an experienced lawyer who can guide you effectively through the legal process based on the particular nuances of your case.

We understand that the last thing you need is to take on unnecessary costs. You should never trust a slip and fall lawyer that charges upfront fees to take on your case as this is a sign that they are not confident in their ability to get you justice. 

At Lorenz & Lorenz, we work on contingency, meaning you don’t pay unless we win. It all starts with a no-cost case evaluation. Don’t wait, call now!
