Every year in every case we try, we are shocked to find how little insurance companies want to offer our clients. On average, we find that insurance undervalues injury claims by 2 to 100 times what we get for our client. It’s a broad spectrum, but it proves a point.

Most people don’t understand how badly insurance is setting them up for the future.

The majority of premises liability injuries that occur aren't understood for how devastating they can be for the victims. What appears to be a simple injury can develop into a debilitating condition. To make matters worse, insurance is known for fighting premises liability injury claims. When it is time for insurance companies to fulfill their duty, they are often more focused on revenue than helping the injured.

The top insurance companies made over $300,000,000,000 in 2019 by paying out claims that were favorable to them. Great premises liability lawyers know the tricks of the insurance companies. At Douglas R. Beam P.A. our premises liability attorneys have brought in over $1,000,000,000 in settlements and verdicts. We've helped our clients, on average, receive 3x what they’re offered before our firm is hired.

Hire a Premises Liability Lawyer

Have you experienced anything from a minor slip and fall injury to a catastrophic injury? If you’ve been in a premises liability accident you should speak with a Melbourne, Florida premises liability attorney. Do this as quickly as possible.

Have you been in an accident caused by someone else's property and are curious if your case is a good one? Contact us for a free consultation!

Slips, trips and falls are never anticipated. These serious injuries can take a huge toll financially, physically, and emotionally. In the aftermath of a trip and fall, there are things you can do to protect your legal rights and position you to recover. The following tips will get you on the track to a speedy recovery.

GET MEDICAL ASSISTANCE

When a premises liability accident occurs, make sure that you and any other parties in the trip and fall are taken care of. Provide responders detailed information on the accident and any symptoms that you are experiencing. Most individuals underestimate how bad their injuries are after an accident because of the post-accident adrenaline rush. Get an exam from your doctor and follow all doctors’ orders for treatment. You’ll heal more quickly, and insurance can't blame you for failing to take your doctor’s advice.

DIAL 911

If your premises liability injuries are serious enough, ask someone to call 911 to get medical help. Ask any officers that may show up for a copy of a report. Your accident injury lawyer will use it to prepare a lawsuit.

COLLECT EVIDENCE

Immediately after a premises liability accident, begin gathering evidence. Take pictures and videos of the scene and yourself. Make sure everything is documented. You need to prove negligence. Evidence of a dangerous situation and failure to reasonably maintain a property need to be documented. Your personal injury lawyer will examine this information to collect critical information about how the commercial premises injury happened.

DON’T ADMIT LIABILITY

Keep a tight rein on what you say to the other parties involved in the fall, to bystanders, and to insurance agents. Any admission of fault could leave you without a chance in your lawsuit.

KNOW THEIR RESULTS

Find a premises liability attorney who has a history of winning premises liability cases like yours. These attorneys will understand your accident on someone's property, your injuries, and what the premises liability accident caused in your life. The right premises liability attorney understands your medical needs and the impact of the trip and fall injuries on your personal and work life.

CONTINGENCY FEE ONLY

Good premises liability attorneys bet on themselves. The way they do that is through contingency fees. All that means is that you don’t pay any money up front. Standard contingency fees are 33.33% of whatever insurance rewards.

THEY GO TO TRIAL

The best lawyers are ready and willing to go to trial, yet the majority of cases in great law firms settle. Why? Because insurance is terrified of going to court against great attorneys. Trials are expensive and time-consuming. Insurance companies fear attorneys that have the resources, experience, and know-how to beat them soundly in court.

Ideally, when an accident happens on someone else's property, we should be able to trust our insurance company to put our lives back together.
