What conditions can weaken a slip and fall claim before you call an attorney?

Claims can weaken when the scene is not documented quickly, medical care is delayed, incident reports contradict the injured person's account, witnesses are not identified, or surveillance footage is overwritten before preservation demands are sent.

What evidence do slip and fall attorneys need from the accident scene?

Helpful evidence includes photographs of the hazard from multiple angles, witness contact information, incident reports, footwear details, lighting conditions, surrounding context, maintenance records, and any available surveillance footage.

What happens during the initial consultation with a slip and fall attorney?

An attorney reviews injury documentation, liability evidence, property ownership, notice issues, insurance coverage, medical treatment, and whether available proof can support a viable premises liability claim.

How does Garber Legal build a slip and fall case when the property owner denies that a hazard existed?

Garber Legal reconstructs the scene using witness accounts, maintenance logs, weather data, inspection records, municipal records, surveillance footage, and prior complaints to determine whether the dangerous condition existed and whether the property owner had notice.

What does Garber Legal investigate when surveillance footage appears to contradict a slip and fall claim?

Garber Legal reviews camera angles, timestamps, lighting, metadata, full unedited recordings, nearby cameras, footage gaps, compression issues, and whether the video actually captures the floor condition or only the moment of the fall.
