I HAVE BEEN OFFERED MONEY AFTER A SLIP AND FALL—SHOULD I TAKE IT OR HIRE A LAWYER?

Far too often, we have clients come into our office explaining they have been offered a trifling sum of money in exchange for not pursuing a claim and therefore settling directly with the owner of the premises or their insurance company and bypassing any legal action. If your injuries are very minor or next to none, then you may not require a lawyer. However, if your injuries are serious or perhaps not fully resolved and difficult to tell at the time if they are long lasting or not, you may benefit greatly by having competent legal representation.

DO I NEED A LAWYER OR BETTER YET—CAN I AFFORD A LAWYER?

Slip and fall claims can have many intricacies that the average layman and laywoman would be far too unfamiliar with to properly navigate. Among other things, you will need to understand the legal process and procedure and understand how to build a strong case and get a reasonable settlement offer.

The Bernstein Law Group takes cases on a contingency basis which means we will not seek payment until and unless we help you obtain a settlement. Thus, you are able to focus on your recovery and not worry about paying legal fees. Additionally, we will fund the disbursements out of our pocket to get you the proper treatment and care in a timely fashion so that you receive maximal recovery and lay a solid foundation of medical documentation.
