They help clear up the myths that often get in the way of a strong claim.
Myth 1: The Fall Was Your Fault
A lot of people think that falling automatically means they are to blame. In reality, many slip and fall injuries happen because a property owner failed to correct a hazard or warn visitors about unsafe conditions. Anything from a wet floor to poor lighting can play a role. Even careful people get hurt in situations they could not control.
It is worth speaking with someone who understands how liability works and can help you sort through what happened.
Myth 2: Minor Injuries Are Not Worth Discussing
Some injuries seem small at first, especially when you are trying to get back to work and keep life moving. The problem is that pain often shows up later, long after the adrenaline wears off. Medical bills, follow-up care, and lost time from work can grow quickly. Having someone look at the situation early helps protect both your health and your claim.
Myth 3: The Claims Process Will Add Stress to Your Life
Many working professionals delay calling an attorney because they worry the process will be complicated. Patrick and Teneshia make things as smooth as possible by focusing on clear communication so you know what to expect.
Myth 4: You Must Prove Everything on Your Own
Some people think they must gather evidence themselves before reaching out. In truth, your attorney handles the investigation. Our team’s strong preparation and trial experience help ensure nothing is overlooked.
