Proving Trip & Fall Accident Fault
In this type of accidents, the burden of proof is on the victim of the fall. Your trip and fall lawyer has to show that the owner of the premises was negligent in building and maintaining the premises, which led to your tripping and falling.
What If The Owner Is Family Or Friend?
Homeowner insurance typically covers accidents that are caused by the condition of the property, and the activities that are carried out on the property. This entitles you to compensation from this cover, regardless of the owner being a relative or friend. You only need to prove that the conditions of the property led to the accident.
How Much Is The Compensation?
The injury compensation is done depending on some considerations. How severe are your injuries, and what impact have they had on your life? You will be compensated for medical bills, lost income and pain and suffering.
