 One of
the most common injuries that occurs in our busy and
crowded society is the slip/trip and fall injury. Many
of these injuries occur in department stores, grocery
stores or on public walkways. Depending on where your
slip/trip and fall occurs, different legal standards may
apply. The injury suffered from an unanticipated fall
can be quite serious, often involving broken bones,
including hips and ankles and can be debilitating. Full
knowledge of the correct legal standard applies, the
correct experts needed to prove your claim, and
experience and dedication are necessary in achieving a
full recovery for you if you fall because someone else
has created a situation you were not expecting and not
looking for.
We at
Winston & Clark have prosecuted hundreds of slip/trip
and fall cases and are ready to make sure your case is
given the attention and effort it deserves. We operate
primarily on a contingency basis which ensures that the
client does not pay the attorney a fee unless a recovery
is made. If we do not recover, you don’t pay. Contact
us for a more detailed explanation. We work in strict
compliance with the guidelines set forth by the Florida
Supreme Court and the Florida Bar on contingency fee
cases.
At Winston & Clark, we thoroughly investigate all of our
claims, and “work them up”. This means we will pay to
develop it with the right investigators and experts. For
instance, a slip and fall case may require an expert in
the building code, a medical
malpractice case will require doctors, an airplane crash
will likely require pilots and engineers to testify
about exactly why you are entitled to money from the
defendant who caused your injury. If you’re badly hurt,
we may hire an economist to tell the jury about how your
lost wage claim works out in the future, or we may hire
a vocational rehabilitation expert to set up a life care
plan for your future care. The firm prides itself on
its use of technology as well. Our offices are
paperless and organized, and we use
Legal-Eze
Graphics Company
for accident animations, medical illustrations Power
Point presentations whenever possible. We will spend
the right amount of money to make your case the best it
can be before we present it for a settlement or trial.
See our trial exhibits page for some examples of our
work in trial.
You don’t have to go to court if you don’t want to. We
will often try to settle your case before we file suit,
to spare you time and expenses out of your money
recovery. It is nice to know that the insurance
companies keep track of which attorneys will go to trial
in the first place, and who have the experience and the
ability to do an excellent job. If you are being
represented by another attorney, ask him of her to tell
you exactly how many jury verdicts he or she has
obtained in your kind of case. Then ask how many
were in excess of a million dollars.
We pledge to work your case up aggressively and settle
it for its fair and just value (when YOU are ready), and
if necessary we will litigate your claim to a court
settlement, resolution or jury verdict, depending on
what is right for you and your family. We pay the costs
in advance and you pay nothing if we don’t get you
money. |
