Slip and Fall Claim Timeline

Answer:

We were was just discussing this with a client last week. They had been injured at an outdoor venue here in Florida. They had asked me how long is this case going to take. They had slipped and fallen and they had injured themselves. That is one of the questions We get the most with these types of injury cases. We told our client it really depends. It depends on several things. One of the things it depends on is the length and nature of your medical treatment and your injuries. If your injuries are less severe, then it’s going to take less time to resolve the case. If your injuries are more severe, it may take more time to resolve your case.

Also a key factor is the insurance companies themselves. The insurance companies are the ones that are going to defend the venue or the shopping center or the theme park where the incident happened. In our experience, you have some insurers or some companies that are willing to work with the injured party in getting this case resolved in a short amount of time. We have other situations where the insurance company or the company where the incident occurred, they want to take a different view and they want to fight the case and they don’t want to be reasonable and they don’t want to help the injured client. In those situations, we will have to go from negotiation to litigation to eventually maybe going to a jury trial. In that case, that’s going to take a lot longer than if the insurer is going to work with us and we can get that resolved in a short period of time. It really depends on those some of the most important factors in resolving a slip and fall case here in Orlando, Florida.
