Slip and Fall Accidents

Bellingham Slip and Fall Accident Attorney

A slip and fall can happen in an instant, but the physical, emotional, and financial consequences can last much longer. If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.

Our experienced slip and fall attorneys understand how difficult it can be to deal with an injury while also trying to navigate a legal claim. We work quickly to gather evidence and speak with witnesses to build a strong case on your behalf. Compensation should cover all your damages, including medical expenses, long-term care, pain and suffering, and the loss of enjoyment of life. If you or a loved one was injured in a slip and fall because of someone else’s negligence, contact our slip and fall attorneys today to learn more about your legal rights.

Personal injury cases are best handled by experienced, local lawyers. A local slip and fall lawyer will be familiar with Washington State injury laws and an experienced attorney will know how to fight back against insurance industry tactics aimed at denying you a fair settlement. 

Don’t sign any papers or accept any settlement from the at-fault party’s insurance company without your lawyer’s counsel. We are often able to get our clients five to twenty times the settlement that you would get on your own!

How do I know whether I should pursue a slip and fall claim?

We believe your well being and the well being of your family and loved ones is more important than money or legal action. However, if you suspect that you or a loved one has suffered a slip and fall injury because of a negligent property owner or caregiver, you should seek the opinion of a qualified personal injury attorney to determine whether negligence has occurred and whether or not a claim should be brought.

Do I really need to hire a Bellingham slip and fall accident lawyer or should I handle my own slip and fall claim?

In most cases, hiring an injury attorney will yield better results, even for seemingly minor claims. A slip and fall accident attorney will gather evidence, determine who was responsible for the hazardous condition, calculate the value of your claim, and negotiate with insurance companies. At Tario & Associates, P.S., we stand by our injured clients every step of the way, whether their case is resolved through settlement negotiations or requires litigation.

How much do I have to pay to pursue a slip and fall injury claim?

There are no upfront costs or fees paid by our clients to pursue a medical malpractice claim as we provide representation on a contingency fee basis for personal injury cases. While you will not incur any attorney fees if you do not win your case, Washington State law requires clients to reimburse the law firm for out-of-pocket expenses. Our firm advances out-of-pocket costs for our injury clients and does not require our clients to pay any of these costs up front. When cases are concluded with a monetary recovery, our firm is repaid for the out-of-pocket costs we have advanced with a percentage of the settlement.
