Accidents happen, but in some cases the accident could have been prevented if proper safety procedures were followed. Whether it’s at a grocery store, restaurant, or someone’s home, when a slip and fall accident occurs it can be devastating and painful for the injured individual. If you have had a slip and fall accident, and you are wondering if you should call a Las Vegas lawyer , here’s what you should know about pursuing legal counsel:

1. Damages

If your slip and fall injury has impacted your ability to work and caused you to lose wages, or if you have medical expense as a result of your accident, you need to contact a lawyer. Proving your injuries requires proper documentation, and a slip and fall lawyer will know exactly how to put together the paperwork that will represent the repercussions of your injury.

2. Fault

Determine if the slip and fall accident was due to the business failing to maintain a safe and clean environment for their customers. Determining fault can be more complicated than it seems. For example, if the business provides a caution sign near a wet floor, but the sign is not close enough for it to be clearly visible and results in an injured customer, then liability can still be on the business. Lawyers are specialists on the ins and outs of the law and can properly examine if there is someone at fault.
