How Slip and Fall Accidents Occur in Wisconsin

Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere, at any time. In Wisconsin, our changing seasons can create additional hazards.

Here are some common scenarios we see:

• Icy sidewalks and parking lots
• Wet floors in businesses
• Uneven walking surfaces
• Poor lighting
• Cluttered walkways and store aisles
• Loose or damaged flooring
• Lack of handrails on stairs or ramps

Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe premises for visitors. This includes regularly inspecting for potential hazards, promptly addressing known issues, and warning visitors of any dangers that can't be immediately fixed.

If you sustained injuries due to any of these conditions, or in any other slip and fall scenario, you may have grounds for a claim. Our attorneys can help determine if negligence played a role in your accident and guide you on the best course of action.

Wisconsin Slip and Fall Accident Statistics 

Slip and fall accidents are a major health concern in Wisconsin.

Consider these statistics from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services:

• Falls are a leading cause of injuries and fatalities in Wisconsin.
• In a recent year, EMS responded to more than 130,000 fall accidents.
• Fall accidents accounted for 18% of 911 calls in the state.
• In Wisconsin, the fall death rate for older adults is significantly higher than the national average.
• Nursing home falls increased by approximately 1,200 during a recent four-year period.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that Wisconsin had the highest age-adjusted rate of deaths from falls than any state in the country in a recent year.

Let Us Fight the Insurance Company for the Compensation You Need

Dealing with insurance companies after a slip and fall accident can be a frustrating and overwhelming experience. These companies often prioritize their bottom line over your well-being, using various tactics to minimize payouts or deny claims altogether. That's where we come in.

At Nicolet Law, we have years of experience negotiating with insurance companies and we know how to counter their strategies.

Here's how we fight for you:

• We gather all necessary evidence, including accident reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert testimonies. This comprehensive approach strengthens your case and makes it harder for insurance companies to dispute your claim.
• We carefully calculate the full value of your claim, considering both current and future expenses related to your injury. This includes medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any long-term care needs.
• Our attorneys are experienced negotiators who know how to effectively present your case to insurance adjusters. We're not afraid to reject lowball offers and fight for what you truly deserve.
• While we settle many cases out of court, we prepare every case as if it's going to trial. This approach often leads to better settlement offers, as insurance companies know we're ready to take the case to court if necessary.

Remember, insurance companies have teams of lawyers working to protect their interests. You deserve to have someone fighting just as hard for you. Let us level the playing field and ensure the insurance company doesn’t pressure you into accepting a quick, inadequate settlement.

What to Do After a Slip and Fall Accident in Wisconsin

If you're reading this, you've likely already received medical treatment for your slip and fall injury. That's a crucial first step.

Now, as you focus on your recovery, to protect your rights and strengthen your claim:

• If you haven't already, write down everything you remember about the accident while it's still fresh in your mind. Include details about the location, lighting conditions, any hazards you noticed, and what you did just before the fall.
• Keep any clothing or shoes you wore during the fall, as they may be important evidence. If you took any photos of the accident scene or your injuries, make sure to save them.
• Attend all follow-up appointments and follow your treatment plan carefully. This not only aids your recovery but also creates a clear record of your injuries and their impact on your life.
• Document your pain levels, limitations, and how the injury affects your daily life. This can be valuable evidence of your non-economic damages.
• If the property owner's insurance company contacts you, politely decline to give a statement until you speak with an attorney. The insurance company could potentially use anything you say to minimize your claim.
• Don’t discuss the accident or your injuries on social media platforms. Insurance companies often monitor these accounts and may use your posts against you.
• Gather documentation of all expenses related to your injury, including medical bills, receipts for medications or medical equipment, and records of lost wages.
