Evansville Slip and Fall Lawyers

Indiana is famous for Hoosier hospitality. We want to make visitors comfortable during their time in our state. When you enter a business, you expect a safe environment.

By law, property owners have to make sure their property is safe for visitors. If you slip and fall because of a property owner’s negligence, you shouldn’t have to pay for your injuries.

Falls are more dangerous than they may seem. They cost the United States over $50 billion dollars in medical bills every year, and are a leading cause of fatal injuries in adults over the age of 65.

You shouldn’t have to pay for injuries that are a result of someone else’s negligence. If you were injured in a slip and fall, call the personal injury lawyers at Hensley Legal Group. We’ve been fighting for Hoosiers since 1998, and we are dedicated to getting you the settlement you deserve. Please call at (812) 437-2000 for a free case consultation.

Why Should You Hire an Attorney After Your Evansville Slip and Fall

Property owners and insurance companies want to minimize the amount of money they pay out in injury settlements and will use legal if unpleasant means to discredit your fall injury claim. Indiana comparative negligence laws mean property owners can blame slip and fall victims for their own injuries.

When you’ve been injured, it can be insulting to be blamed for your own injuries and denied compensation for your medical bills. You need strong evidence and eyewitness statements to prove it was the property owner’s negligence, not your own, that caused your injuries.

An Evansville premises liability attorney knows how to build a strong argument for you. They will investigate your fall accident, scout out the location, gather video evidence and eyewitness statements, and deal with insurance adjusters on your behalf.

Not every accidental slip results in a trip to the hospital, but fall injuries are not to be taken lightly. One in five falls lead to serious injuries, like broken bones and head injuries, or even death.

If you have experienced one of these injuries in a fall caused by the negligence or carelessness of another, an Evansville fall injury attorney can help you get compensation.

Broken bones

Hoosiers age 65 and older are especially susceptible to broken bones in falls. Over 95 percent of hip fractures every year are caused by falling. The older you are, the longer it takes to recover from a broken bone, and broken hips may require surgery, long-term hospital stays, or at-home nursing aid. And some people may never be able to walk or move like they used to.

Emergency room visits, x-rays, surgery and physical therapy can make treating a broken bone very expensive. If you were injured because of unsafe conditions at someone else’s property, you could recover money for your medical bills by filing a personal injury claim with their liability insurance.

Slip and Fall Injuries May Be Deadly

Head injuries

Falls are the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries (TBI). You don’t have to fall from very high up to hit your head with enough force to cause a brain injury. You may not even realize you have a TBI because some symptoms may not appear until after you’ve already left the fall site.

Some common TBI symptoms include:

Headaches
Dizziness
Sleeping problems, ranging from insomnia to perpetual sleepiness
Memory problems and confusion
Slurred speech
Nausea or vomiting
Blurred or double vision
Weakness/numbness in limbs or difficulty with coordination
Abnormal behavior

A mild concussion may not need much treatment, but a severe TBI may require imaging tests, surgery, medication, or long-term treatment at a medical facility. If you hit your head in a slip and fall, seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

Emotional and psychological trauma

Tripping in public can be embarrassing, but fall injuries can include additional emotional and psychological trauma that may affect your ability to live a normal life.

Studies show that older adults often develop anxiety and lower balance confidence after a serious fall. Some fall victims may even develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD can have a profound impact on a person’s life, and can cause these symptoms and more:

Flashbacks and nightmares
Uncontrollable shaking
Mood swings
Difficulty sleeping
Social isolation
Loss of interest in activities

Negative psychological developments after a fall may lead to decrease physical activity, which in turn leads to muscle weakness, poor balance, and an increased chance of falling again.

Wrongful death

Falls are the leading cause of death in the United States for adults over the age of 65. If someone’s negligence caused your loved one to suffer a fatal fall, you deserve to seek justice. Hensley Legal Group’s Evansville premises liability attorneys can help you recover costs for medical bills, funeral costs, and loss of companionship.

As an accident victim and single father in dire need of help and at the end of my rope, somehow a gentleman named Jonathan contacted me today about my accident, and within few minutes of our conversation he had calmed me down from a 10 to a 5 and took a load of stress, anger, fear, anxiety, depression and being lost off me 50% and helped me see light at end of a dark tunnel. Thank you Jonathan.

I have to say that I am very pleased with how Hensley handled my case. They were really quick about getting on my case and getting me a settlement. They didn't delay at all. My car accident lawyer, Phil, was amazing. He got me everything I deserved. I've already recommended Hensley to a friend who needed a good car accident attorney. I recommend that you call them, ESPECIALLY if the insurance is giving you a hard time like they tried to do to me.

I was in an accident involving three totaled vehicles and ultimately one fatality. I’d never been in a situation like this before and didn’t know where to even start. So glad I called Hensley! They were so easy to work with and I’m sure got far more for me than I would’ve been able to get myself. They were kind, professional, and got the job done!

Most Evansville Slip and Falls Are Preventable

Premises liability law means that Indiana property owners are responsible for injuries that happen on their property. Maintaining a safe environment is the easiest way to make sure slip and fall accidents do not happen.

Property owners must take action to fix any unsafe conditions on their property. This includes:

Icy sidewalks or stairs
Uneven flooring
Spills and slick areas
Loose rugs
Inadequate lighting
Holes or areas under construction
Walkway obstructions

If a property owner or manager is made aware of unsafe areas on their property, but didn’t take any action to fix it, you could hold them liable for your fall injuries. The fall down accident attorneys at Hensley Legal Group can help you get justice. Call, text, or chat with us today for a free consultation about your fall injury.
