Slip-and-fall cases are
usually tough to see through to the end. There are various tactics
employed to see which side is at fault. If you are the victim of a
slip-and-fall in another person's property, you may have an idea of
how hard it is to seek damages. However, there are ways to see
through the defense’s walls and ensure your lawyer can act
accordingly.
One major card the other
side is expected to play is to argue that the owners are not at
fault. For example, if the accident was caused by an object lying
around in the victim’s immediate vicinity, they can say that
another person dropped the item before the accident. As a result, the
person in question may have to be put on the witness stand. Take note
that the property owners can claim there was not enough time to
prevent the danger.
Be prepared for the
possibility that they will try turning things around on you. The
defense can allege that you were forewarned about the possibility of
loose objects in the area and therefore you should exercise caution.
It can be worse if there were warning signs but you may have chosen
to ignore it.
It is paramount to seek
redress for your woes. However, you should anticipate the defense’s
plan of action as well.
