Slips, trips, and falls are some of the most common accidents that occur. Thankfully, most falls produce only minor injuries that heal without medical intervention. However, a significant portion of falls are more serious and require medical evaluation and treatment.
The skilled attorneys at Ramji Law Group P.C. represent people who have suffered moderate to severe injuries in Houston slip and fall cases. Our skilled legal professionals can obtain reimbursement of your current and future expenses, plus money for your pain and suffering.
Some falls produce only minor scrapes and bruises. Many cause injuries that take days or weeks to heal produce lingering and debilitating symptoms, or have dire permanent consequences, including death. Regardless of the severity of your injuries, if they required medical treatment or kept you from working and engaging in your normal routine for more than a few days, you should consider legal action.
A Houston attorney can help you obtain compensation when you suffer any of the following injuries in a fall:
Any other injury that you received in a fall could be the basis of a lawsuit. For example, if you slipped and fell onto something hot and sustained a burn, you could claim compensation for that injury.
An important concept in injury law is that you take the plaintiff as you found them. This means it does not matter whether the injured person has a condition that makes them more vulnerable to injury than another person—they are still entitled to compensation for the injuries they actually suffered, not the injuries the defendant would anticipate someone might suffer. This is an important protection if you have a pre-existing condition or susceptibility to injury.
Sometimes, people whose slip and fall injuries do not require surgery or other invasive measures think it is not worthwhile to work with a Houston attorney. They might think they can get appropriate compensation without help, and the insurance companies do not try to dissuade them.
Most people who handle claims by themselves settle for less than they should have. For example, if your fall caused a black eye, whiplash, and a sprained ankle, you could get compensation for disfigurement, temporary disability, physical pain, embarrassment, and inconvenience, in addition to medical expenses and lost wages.
There are incidental costs people with injuries must pay, and the property owner or another responsible party is liable for those, as well. Someone with the injuries described above might need to hire someone to help with house cleaning and yard work while they recover, and they might have high transportation expenses if the injuries prevent them from driving. A legal professional can ensure the party responsible covers all the losses you suffer in a fall.
Falls can sometimes have catastrophic consequences. When a fall leaves you with a permanent disability, you deserve compensation that allows you to get the care you need and live the fullest life possible after the injury.
According to Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 41.001, compensation for a permanent injury could include:
An experienced attorney could help you and your loved ones document the results of the injury to prove your claim for compensation.
Obtaining a reasonable settlement for a permanent injury requires skillful legal representation. It is critical to work with an attorney from a Houston firm with a track record of obtaining substantial verdicts or settlements for people with severe slip and fall injuries, like Ramji Law Group.
Accidents that cause injuries are physically and emotionally challenging and can lead to significant financial losses. The property owner and others whose negligence might have contributed to the fall owe you compensation.
