Below, we discuss how an attorney can win your premises liability case:
Investigating the Claim
First, they must determine and prove fault for the incident, both critical to establishing the legal groundwork for your claim. Receiving compensation from a premises liability claim requires you to demonstrate how the property owner neglected their duty of care. Premises liability laws outline dangerous conditions for which property owners can be held liable.
Proving this point requires specific information, such as medical records, site pictures, accident reports, and more. Your attorney will know how to investigate and build a robust case, and they can compile the evidence while you focus on healing. They can increase your premises liability settlement’s value by determining fault and compiling evidence.
Providing Witness Statements
While investigating a claim, your lawyer may discover eyewitnesses who can substantiate your claim. These testimonies can be crucial in premises liability cases.
Sometimes, expert witnesses may testify in premises liability cases. Such witnesses have specialized education or experience in a relevant field and can explain complex concepts to the court. For example, a doctor can testify to the full extent of physical and emotional damages caused by an injury. Experienced attorneys often have a network of experts available who can bolster your premises liability claim.
Negotiating Settlements
Although insurance policies are supposed to cover damages for accidents, insurance companies often fight against payouts for one reason or another. Indeed, when you first report injuries acquired on someone else’s property, their insurance (or even your own) may try to lowball your settlement amount.
However, a premises liability attorney will recognize insurance companies’ tactics and the damages amount you deserve. By building a strong case before negotiations, your lawyer can walk in with the upper hand and get you the amount you deserve. If the insurance company refuses to budge, your attorney can take them to court.
