❓ Does an accident report have to be filled out at the time of the fall?
Not legally required everywhere, but filing one promptly helps document what happened, who was present, and the condition of the area.
❓ Is It Recommended For People To Call Lawyers To Help Them In Slip And Fall Cases?
Yes - quick legal help preserves evidence (including short-retention video), handles insurer contact, and builds liability and damages proof.
❓ How Far Does The Duty Of A Commercial Place Extend In Slip And Fall Cases?
Businesses must use reasonable care to inspect, maintain, and remedy hazards, and to warn of dangers they know or should know about.

❓ How much money will I receive if I win my broken bone case?
There is no fixed amount. Case value depends on liability and comparative fault, injury severity and permanence, surgeries/scarring, medical bills and future care, lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, venue, and insurance limits/defendant assets.
❓ What should I do if my child breaks a bone or dislocates a joint?
Seek same-day medical care (call 911 for severe deformity, open wounds, numbness, or pale/blue fingers or toes). Immobilize the limb, apply ice, avoid food/drink if surgery may be needed, and do NOT try to "pop it back." Document the incident for insurance/legal purposes.
❓ What are the most common causes of fractures?
Falls (same-level and from heights), car/truck/bike/pedestrian crashes, workplace and construction incidents, sports injuries, defective products, assaults, and premises hazards such as wet floors, uneven surfaces, and poor lighting.

❓ If I am a pedestrian hit by a bus or a loved one was killed by a bus while walking or waiting for a bus, whom can I bring a case against?
Potential defendants include the bus driver, the bus company or transit authority, maintenance contractors, other negligent motorists, and sometimes a city for dangerous conditions (public-entity notice rules may apply).
❓ If I am a passenger on a bus, do I have any special protections?
Yes. Common carriers generally owe passengers a heightened duty of care - safe operation, proper boarding/alighting, and reasonable protection from hazards - though not strict liability.
❓ Do I have to file a claim for recovery within a certain time period?
Yes. Statutes of limitations vary by state (often 1-3 years), and claims against public entities usually require a formal notice within a short window (often 30-180 days). Minors may have tolled deadlines.
