Injuries in Mesa Slip and Fall Cases

Losing your footing when you are not expecting to can do much more than bruise your ego. Depending on how far you fall and what kind of surface you land on, an accident of this nature can potentially lead to long-lasting and potentially life-changing trauma.

No two injuries in Mesa slip and fall cases are the same, and no fall victims have identical circumstances or need to recover the same amount of compensable damages. However, what will almost always be true when it comes to suing over this type of accident is that guidance from a capable attorney will give you a much better chance of securing a favorable result. The experienced local slip and fall lawyers at Phillips Law Group are here to help you.

What Injuries Warrant a Lawsuit?

One crucial thing to understand about slips, falls, and personal injury litigation is that not every accidental injury necessarily serves as grounds for legal action. First and foremost, prospective plaintiffs must prove that their injury stemmed directly from a dangerous condition at the property that they were not warned about in advance, and that the owner had a duty of care to protect them from this hazard.

In addition, prospective plaintiffs must be able to establish that the accident in question was the direct cause of their injury. They must be able to prove it was not a pre-existing injury or, under certain circumstances, that their new injury has made a pre-existing condition substantially worse. The injury must also have been severe enough to require some form of professional medical care to justify a lawsuit. Minor scrapes and bruises are usually not enough for a slip and fall claim in Mesa, even if they were caused directly by a landowner’s negligence.

Common Injuries From Slipping and Tripping Accidents

Different types of slip and fall accidents tend to produce very different injuries, and various groups of people are often more susceptible to specific injuries than others. For example, an older person who falls a significant distance off a high surface is very likely to suffer a bone fracture. In contrast, a younger adult who falls a shorter distance but twists awkwardly is more likely to suffer soft-tissue damage such as a ligament sprain or muscle tear.

In Mesa, while cuts and bruises alone may not be bad enough to justify a slip and fall lawsuit, it is possible to recover for damages related to them if they accompany a more serious injury; for example, pain and suffering caused by widespread bruising that interferes with normal motion. A qualified legal professional can discuss what kinds of losses a particular person can claim in relation to their injuries.

When in pain because of an accident all you want to do is focus on getting better and that is what did thanks to this firm. My family and I were set up with a Dr and Chiro right away. The treatment we received was great. I am extremely thankful for all the help we received and the outcome on the cases. Thanks to everyone involved on my case. A special thanks the intake specialist Rosalba who was very kind on the phone when I first called. I highly recommend this firm to anyone, they treat you like family.

I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group. I decided to give them a call about my accident, and they were very respectful and took in my case immediately. They assigned me Tim LeDuc to represent me. From the beginning, he was very responsive and made sure to give me the proper care I deserved from this accident. Him and his team fought tooth and nail to give me the best settlement I deserved. I am so thankful, and I highly recommend Phillips Law Group to represent anyone who has been in any accident and...

My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...
