How Berger and Green Helps You Win Compensation
The Berger and Green personal injury law firm has been helping Pennsylvania clients collect compensation for their injuries for over 40 years. We have a process that works, as our long and successful track record can support.
Here is what you can expect from our attorneys once we take your case:
We Evaluate Your Claim
First, a member of our team will evaluate your slip and fall injury, determine how much your claim is worth, and let you know what to expect. If you decide to move forward and pursue a claim with us, we will get to work on it the same day we receive the agreement.
We Identify the Responsible Party or Parties
In Pennsylvania, premises liability laws hold property owners and managers to standards concerning the upkeep of their properties. A hazardous condition that goes untended to and results in injury can lead to financial responsibility. Examples of dangerous conditions on properties include:
- Wet or slippery floors
- Unmarked floor objects
- Loose or missing stairs
- Loose or missing handrails
- Uneven ground or potholes
- Inadequate lighting
If we take your case, we will investigate your slip and fall accident and identify every party potentially liable for your injury. Liable parties may include a homeowner, a business owner, a home builder, a maintenance company, a property manager, or someone else who contributed to the condition that caused your injury.
Having a list of parties who may be responsible allows us to seek out evidence proving their liability.
We Collect Evidence
Our Altoona slip and fall lawyers will collect and assemble every piece of available evidence to support your claim and show that the other party is financially liable for your trip and fall injury.
The evidence we may use to bolster your case includes:
- Pictures and surveillance video of the accident scene;
- Statements from eyewitnesses;
- Statements from the property owner or manager;
- Property records;
- Records of previous complaints about the property;
- Police and medical reports;
- Expert witness testimony.
We Take on the Insurance Company
Once we have put together a compelling, evidence-backed claim, our Altoona personal injury lawyers can pursue compensation from the responsible party or parties and their insurers. Most of your award will likely come from the insurance company, which is why it is critical to have an Altoona, PA slip and fall attorney on your side who knows how to negotiate for the maximum settlement possible.
Berger and Green have helped thousands of clients take on insurance companies. We know how to go toe-to-toe with insurers, and we do not allow them to pay our injured clients less than they deserve.
We Go to Court if Necessary
If the responsible party or the insurance company does not agree to pay you the fair compensation you deserve, Berger and Green will file a lawsuit and take your case before a jury. Our trial lawyers have decades of experience and an overwhelmingly winning record. We will present the jury with a compelling case.
We Have a 40-Year Winning Track Record
