How do I choose the right slip and fall attorney?
Answer:
When it comes to choosing the right attorney for a slip and fall case in Mississippi, the recommendation that I make to folks is not that different from what I tell people looking into other types of cases. A slip and fall claim is going to involve injuries, most likely. If the injuries are substantial or if the defendant and their insurance carrier are looking to fight liability or coverage on the claim, it’s going to lead to litigation. One of the first things you want to be looking for in an attorney to represent you on a slip and fall personal injury claim is an attorney who regularly does litigation— an attorney who handles personal injury claims, hopefully on a daily basis or very regularly, and who does litigation of those claims. It’s not just a matter of picking up the phone and telling them how much you want. You need an attorney who is willing to go to the mat and fight for your claim to get you what you’re due and what is fair. The insurance company, the insurance adjuster, and the defense counsel on the other side (assuming your case goes to litigation), are going to have a lot more respect for someone who works those claims regularly and who they know are willing to litigate. You need an attorney who regularly does personal injury claims and regularly litigates those claims. Ideally, what would really be to your benefit is an attorney who has particular expertise and experience in slip and falls, or what we would legally call premises liability cases. If they have worked those cases and have experience on that particular type of case involving claims for injuries arising from premises liability, then they’re going to have an understanding of the law in that particular practice area. They’re going to have some experience of understanding how to work up the case, what kind of evidence is needed to properly prove the case, what pitfalls there are, both in terms of evidence and legally, in a trial on working that particular type of case. If you have an attorney who has litigation experience working personal injury claims, has experience specifically with premises liability or what we call slip and fall cases, and has had success with those, then you’re getting on the right track to getting the right attorney for your claim, whether that is in Mississippi or anywhere else.
