Juries
are the least sympathetic to these kinds of cases, especially in
New England. That's why proper legal and medical
preparation is
mandatory! The insurance company has a million excuses why slipping
and falling was your
fault. We don't let them get away with that.
You should be prepared to deal with these defenses and be in a
better position to launch the appropriate offense! The most important
thing is to obtain pictures of the ice, stairs, railing, lighting,
etc. as soon as possible after the accident. Taking pictures of
a parking lot in July and claiming to have fallen on a patch of
ice
in January
is
not
very convincing to the jury. The pictures will be much more effective
if they are taken under the same weather conditions, at the same
time of day as the original injury.
