Slip and Fall Attorneys in The Woodlands Helping You Get the Maximum Settlement for Your Workplace Accident Injuries

It doesn’t take much to trip or fall at work. Obstructions in walkways cause a majority of falls, as do spills, loose mats and rugs, poor lighting, and clutter. Slip and fall accidents are one of the most common forms of injuries in the workplace and are highly preventable. They can happen anywhere, including:

  • Sidewalks
  • Parking lots
  • Stairwells
  • Bathrooms
  • Hallways
  • Entryways

Employees miss an average of 38 workdays annually due to slip and fall accidents, and the recovery time is costly due to lost wages and medical expenses related to treatment. Many slip-and-fall victims turn to Morgan Bourque Attorney at Law, when insurance coverage isn’t enough to cover financial damages.

What are Slip and Fall Injuries?

Slip and fall injuries sound innocent, but they can be deadly in the right circumstances. Some people experience bumps and bruises, while others suffer from traumatic brain injuries. In the most serious of cases, a slip and fall accident can kill someone if they hit their head in the wrong place.

Some of the most common slip and fall injuries include:

  • Broken bones
  • Lacerations
  • Dislocated joints
  • Muscle, ligament, and tendon sprain or strains
  • Back injuries
  • Concussions
  • Spinal cord injuries

How Do Slip and Fall Incidents Happen?

A fall can occur when someone loses traction or trips over an object. Slip and fall accidents aren’t always an employer’s fault. Someone can slip and fall at work or on another person’s property due to their carelessness. Attorneys with Morgan Bourque, Attorney at Law, can provide an assessment based on your specific situation. Some common reasons for slips and fall accidents include:

  • Wet floors
  • Seasonal conditions such as snow or ice on the ground
  • Oily substances on the floor
  • Spills or debris on the floor
  • Torn or loose carpeting
  • Poorly constructed stairwells
  • Broken flooring
  • Poor lighting
  • Uneven surfaces
  • Missing steps or broken stairwells
  • Potholes
  • Uneven sidewalks

Contact our attorneys after a slip and fall accident to see if you have a viable case.

How Much is My Slip and Fall Case Worth?

A slip and fall settlement can pay for lost wages, medical treatment, rehabilitation, and other accident-related expenses. Some assume it’s not worth the time or effort to pursue a lawsuit before knowing the value of their slip-and-fall case. The average settlement is between $10,000 and $50,000, depending on the circumstances.

When a slip-and-fall accident prevents you from returning to work, the bills add up quickly, and the future becomes financially uncertain. Morgan Bourque Attorney at Law can review your slip and fall case to determine a potential value.

To assess a slip and fall case, we review a person’s injuries, economic damage, future lost wages or medical expenses, the value of lost wages, and lost earning potential, among other factors. Consult Morgan Bourque Attorney at Law, to learn more about your potential lawsuit before making a decision.

How Can an Attorney Help Me?

To obtain a settlement in a slip-and-fall case against an employer or property, our attorneys must prove that a person’s injuries directly result from an employer’s negligence. The only evidence in a slip-and-fall case might be the victims, so it’s essential to have an experienced slip-and-fall attorney leading the charge.

We will examine the scene of the slip and fall, interview witnesses, consult experts, review medical records and utilize our team’s collective slip and fall knowledge to reach a favorable outcome.

A slip-and-fall accident’s physical, mental, and financial implications can change a person’s life for the worst. We fight to establish fault so that we can pursue compensation and recover damages to cover your accident-related expenses.

Our attorneys will get to work on your behalf and aggressively pursue a slip-and-fall lawsuit against an employer or property. Schedule a free consultation with Morgan Bourque Attorney at Law, and speak with our experienced team to get started. Call 713-862-7766.
