Frequently Asked Questions About Slip and Fall Accidents
What is premises liability under Indiana law?
Premises liability refers to a property owner’s legal responsibility to maintain a safe environment for visitors. If you were injured due to hazardous conditions—such as wet floors, uneven walkways, poor lighting, or uncleared ice—you may have grounds for a personal injury claim.
How do I know if I have a valid slip and fall case?
To bring a successful claim, you must show that the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it. Our attorneys will investigate the scene, gather evidence, and determine liability based on Indiana premises liability standards.
What damages can I pursue in a slip and fall case?
Depending on the severity of your injuries, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses (including future care), lost wages, reduced earning potential, pain and suffering, and, in serious cases, permanent disability or disfigurement that impacts your daily life.
How much is my slip and fall case worth?
At Wilson & Novak, we evaluate each case based on your injuries, medical expenses, time away from work, and long-term impact on your life. While no two cases are the same, our attorneys will fight to recover the full value of your claim—whether it’s through settlement or trial.
Do I need evidence to win my case?
Yes, and Wilson & Novak can help secure it. Photographs, medical records, witness statements, and surveillance footage can make or break a premises liability claim. The sooner you contact us, the better we can preserve crucial evidence on your behalf.
How much does it cost to hire a slip and fall lawyer?
Wilson & Novak represents clients on a contingency fee basis, meaning you owe nothing unless we win your case. We believe everyone deserves skilled legal representation—regardless of their financial situation.
