What Is a Premises Liability Case?
Premises liability accidents occur on someone else’s property, often allowing you to file a legal case for compensation. Generally, you can file a premises liability claim if:
- You visit another person’s property
- You come into contact with a hazard on that property
- The hazard causes an accident that injures you
- The accident directly leads to financial costs for you
You may only qualify for a premises liability claim if the property owner (or another liable party) should have fixed the hazardous condition. Your Boston personal injury lawyer can review your situation to see if you qualify.
How do Settlement Negotiations Work in a Premises Liability Case?
Settlement negotiations can happen after any premises liability accident. In many cases, our team handles negotiations for slip-and-fall cases. These negotiations involve you, your lawyer, and the insurance company representing the liable party.
During negotiations, the insurance will often try to protect its bottom line by minimizing your compensation. Your lawyer stands up for your best interests, pushing to bring you maximum damages.
The process may involve:
- Reviewing any settlement offers made by the insurance company
- Responding with counter-offers if the deal fails to cover your losses
- Accepting an agreement that appropriately covers your expenses
We can provide more information if you contact a Boston slip-and-fall accident lawyer.
Can You Negotiate a Premise Liability Case Alone?
You have the option to negotiate with the insurance company alone. However, these companies will work aggressively to limit your compensation, often trying to downplay the severity of your losses.
A lawyer from our team can prevent the insurance company from bullying or taking advantage of you. We handle all your legal needs, giving you time to focus on healing and recovery. That’s part of our Stone Cold Guarantee®.
How do Lawyers Prepare for Settlement Negotiations?
Your premises liability attorney will prepare for negotiations by investigating your case and collecting evidence. We draw on our years of experience when investigating and may focus on:
- Interviewing all witnesses who saw your accident
- Collecting surveillance footage of the accident
- Visiting the property where your accident occurred
- Working with premises liability experts
We also track all your expenses. For example, we may collect documentation from your doctors to assess the cost of your medical expenses. We’ll go into negotiations prepared to aggressively represent you, pushing for fair damages.
What do Lawyers Charge to Handle Settlement Negotiations?
Our team handles premises liability cases using contingency pricing. We’ll get a percentage of your final financial settlement as payment for our legal fees. Our pay depends entirely on the amount of compensation you receive.
What Compensation do You Get Through a Premises Liability Settlement?
Negotiating a settlement can help you get compensation for all your losses after a premises liability accident in Boston. Depending on your circumstances, you may qualify for funds to cover your:
- Current and future healthcare costs
- Lost pay
- Diminished earning potential
- Pain, suffering, and mental anguish
Your lawyer will collect documentation to back up all of your losses. We review any insurance company offers to see if they fairly address your expenses. If they don’t, we know how to push back for more funds.
How Much Compensation Will You Get for Your Case?
Our team works to bring clients maximum damages after any premises liability accident. The exact funds you receive will depend on the extent of your injuries and other losses. We’ll review your case and provide more specific information.
Do You Have to Settle a Premises Liability Case?
Our team knows how to handle settlement negotiations in premises liability cases. However, we understand that the insurance company may refuse to give you a fair offer. In this situation, we may help you file a lawsuit instead.
You may take the at-fault party to court to get damages. However, a lawsuit may take longer to resolve and could lead to court fees. We’ll discuss the best way to deal with your specific situation when you contact us for help.
