Millar & Mixon has been highly successful in proving slip and fall and trip and fall cases. Recently, we recovered over $125,000.00 for a client who suffered a broken leg after slipping on black-ice that had formed in a parking lot of a convenience store. The store had adequate time to find and remove (melt, using salt) the ice, but had failed to do so, leaving a dangerous and nearly invisible hazard for customers.
Since 1995 we have recovered hundreds of thousands of dollars for clients who have been injured as a result of slip and fall injuries, trips and falls, and other injuries caused by dangerous or defective conditions.
Time is of the essence
Time is of the essence if you are injured due to a slip or trip and fall. Often the scene of your injury may change and valuable evidence may quickly disappear. Prompt investigation is needed. Millar & Mixon employs trained investigators who work alongside our attorneys to quickly investigate your claim.
Slip and fall cases can be difficult. An experienced lawyer is critical.
Generally speaking, before one can recover medical expenses and pain and suffering, it must be proven that a shopkeeper or homeowner had “notice” of the defective or dangerous condition and had sufficient time to make the necessary repair. An injured person must also usually prove that he or she did not knowingly assume the risk of entering a dangerous area or walking upon a slippery or defective surface. Insurance companies know that it can be difficult to prove each and every element in a slip and fall case, and are therefore often unwilling to offer a fair settlement. We have resolved many slip and fall cases where insurance companies were initially reluctant to pay.
We use experienced engineers and experts
To determine the cause of an injury, a law firm sometimes needs to hire engineers and accident reconstruction experts. Millar & Mixon, LLC uses licensed, experienced engineers and experts to assist us in evaluating potential cases and as expert witnesses at trial. Experts have helped us prove liability in a number of cases, including unreasonably slippery surfaces, wall collapses, defective stairways and railings, ceiling collapses, and improper maintenance of interior and exterior floors, sidewalks, and lawns.
Free Consultations / Contingent Fees
We will meet with you free of charge to conduct an evaluation of your case. In most cases we can work on your claim on a contingency basis, meaning “no recovery – no fee.” Please call us or use our contact form to ask an experienced Slip & Fall Lawyer your questions or to set an appointment.
Slip and fall cases must be prepared for trial
Insurance companies know that many slip and fall cases are dismissed prior to trial because the injured party may be unable to prove one or more elements of the case. At Millar & Mixon, if we accept your case, we will begin to investigate your case immediately. You may need to prove your claim in a court of law. We believe it is best to begin preparing your case for court as soon as we begin to work on it.
Free consultation. No recovery, no fee.
Millar & Mixon does not charge for meeting with you and for evaluating your case. If we accept your case, most likely we will represent you on a contingent fee, meaning that there is no attorney fee unless we recover money for you.
