If you have been injured from a slip-and-fall accident, the first thing on your mind is receiving medical treatment for your injuries. Eventually, after therapy and rehab you will begin to heal, but now you are facing a mountain of medical bills.
After an accident, you will probably receive a telephone call or visit from an insurance adjuster from the property owner's insurance company. Keep in mind that the adjuster works for the insurance company, and his or her goal is to pay you as little as possible and save his client as much as possible. You could find yourself in a stalemate of negotiations for months, often waiting long periods for answers from the insurance company.
One of the most important things to keep in mind during this period is that the clock is ticking. From the moment you suffered your injury, the clock begins winding toward the day the statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit runs out. Time is of the essence in such cases which is why it's imperative that you hire an attorney experienced in these types of accidents. Be sure to keep documentation of all of your expenses and losses. When the time does come to show the extent of your injuries, your attorney and documentation you provide will help determine the outcome favorably.
