Six-Figure Awards for Malman Law Slip and Fall Clients

Written by Malman Law, reviewed by Steve J. Malman.

The Chicago personal injury attorneys at Malman Law recently helped two different clients receive six-figure award settlements resulting from slip and fall accidents in Chicago.

The first slip and fall accident involved a female client who slipped and fell on water at a store. As a result of the accident, she sustained shoulder injuries and required surgery to repair the damage. The Malman Law team worked with her to recover $475,000.00 for the pain and suffering caused by the slip and fall accident.

The second case was regarding a woman who was involved in a slip and fall accident that caused a wrist fracture. The woman was awarded $125,000.00 with the help of our team of  personal injury Chicago attorneys.

Our Chicago personal injury attorneys know that slip and fall accidents happen all the time, but they are often preventable. Stores, restaurants, and other premises frequented by visitors, patrons, and others must make sure that there are no slippery conditions that can cause slip and fall accidents.
Slip and fall injuries can be extremely painful and costly for the
victim. It is the job of property owners to make sure that if there are
any slippery conditions or other hazards on the ground that can cause
an accident that
warnings are posted so that people know to proceed with caution.

Examples of Same-Level Fall Accidents:

  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Stump fall accidents
  • Step and fall accidents
  • Fall accidents involving the victim experiencing “forced rotation,” such as the twisting of an ankle

The
medical costs to treat and recover from this type of  accident can be high and the victim could be laid up
for weeks or even months, which could prevent him/her from going to
work.

At Malman Law, our team of experienced personal injury attorneys has
extensive experience with Chicago slip and fall accidents – contact us today to find out how we can help you.
