This can involve numerous negotiations, or even taking an insurance company to court if they won't pay what you deserve.

Slip & Fall

The warning and notice requirements for a business can be complicated, and a good attorney can ensure that businesses don't try and avoid liability for actions that were their fault.

Premises Liability
