Colorado Springs Personal Injury Lawyer Offers Expert Five Tips on Premises Liability Claims

colorado_springs_personal_injury_lawyerAre you a Colorado Springs resident who has recently suffered an injury resulting from a “slip and fall” accident?  Then you have probably heard that a Colorado Springs personal injury lawyer can get you the compensation you deserve for your medical bills, lost wages and suffering.  However, unless you follow some very specific steps right away, you could end up making some costly mistakes that could nullify your claim.

If you are already working with a Colorado Springs personal injury attorney, then you can expect to hear a thorough explanation of how to handle the details of the lawsuit but, in many cases, mistakes are made before the plaintiff even leaves the premises. 

A “slip and fall” injury case is usually a simple matter, but in this increasingly litigious society, more business work with lawyers of their own just to dispute these claims.  As a result, it is sensible to follow a few simple rules. 

  1. Make sure you know that the law supports you in making a claim, so there is no reason to feel embarrassed about making your injury known to management.
  2. Keep accurate records of the entire incident, including the date, time, place, circumstances and other key facts.
  3. Get immediate medical attention even if you are unsure about whether you’ve been injured.  Any refusal of medical treatment may be construed as a denial of injury.
  4. Meet with an attorney immediately and plan on sending the property owner or manager a letter that states your intention to file a claim.
  5. Advise your insurance policy of your intention to file a claim.  Failing to report this information can sometimes result in breach of the policy’s terms and conditions.

Following the steps outlined above, and working with a qualified Colorado Springs personal injury lawyer will guarantee the best possible outcome in your case.
