Trip and Fall Accident

The other day, as I was searching for my friend’s address, I tripped and fell on someone else’s property. I broke my arm and received several cuts. I am not sure about how to sue the other party. What do I need to prove?

Proving negligence is very important in a trip and fall accident case. If your trip and fall accident was caused by someone else’s negligence, consult with an attorney to see if you have a case. Your attorney may be able to help you obtain compensation by proving the following elements:
                      The liable party caused a hazardous condition.
            The party knew or reasonably should have known about the condition but failed to correct it.

The negligence of the liable party caused your injury.

  1. I tripped and fell on a wet floor in a supermarket while shopping. I was severely injured and had to be hospitalized. There was no warning sign to indicate that the floor was wet. Can someone suggest a lawyer who can help me get compensated?
