At the Scanlan Law Group, we have more than 25 years of experience representing individuals hurt in slip and fall injuries. Nevertheless, we are well aware that many people slip on a sidewalk, get up and brush themselves off, and think nothing further about it. This can be a costly mistake. Many so-called minor accidents can result in major problems if the resulting injury is ignored and left untreated. For example, many victims of minor car crashes leave the scene of the accident without obtaining medical assistance because they feel "fine." In reality, they may have serious injuries, but the symptoms may not show up until much later. By the time the injury manifests itself in actual physical symptoms, it may be too late to take effective medical action, thus resulting in possible permanent injuries.

It also may be too late to take legal action. Most slip and fall injuries have relatively short statutes of limitations that require you to file suit within a relatively brief time period or your claim is waived. And if your claim involves an injury caused by the negligence of a governmental entity, your deadline may be even shorter. Additionally, if you delay in responding to an injury, you put your case in serious jeopardy, as evidence will inevitably be lost or misplaced, witnesses will move or become unavailable, and your memory of important details will fade. All you will be left with is the pain of your injury, lost wages, and the agony of knowing that you could have done something to prevent this result.

Because slip and fall cases can be very complex, you need experienced and aggressive attorneys to successfully handle them. The Scanlan Law Group has the necessary experience. We have sued individuals and entities responsible for slip and fall injuries, and we are not afraid to take them to trial if one of our clients has been injured. Accordingly, if you or someone you know have sustained a slip and fall injury, contact the Scanlan Law Group for a free initial consultation.
