An accident that occurs when someone slips or falls as a result of unsafe conditions on a property falls under Washington’s premises liability law.
Según el Centro para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC), falls are a leading cause of deaths due to an injury among older adults and a major cause of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in the United States.
According to data from the State of Washington, slip and fall injuries are among the highest number of injuries for hospital admissions each year, particularly during winter (i.e., wet/icy conditions).
Slip and fall injuries can generally be more severe than the victim had anticipated. For example, someone might not think that they could experience debilitating pain and suffering from a slip and fall. Falls often happen to older adults because falls usually occur on hard surfaces like concrete or tile, which can result in long-term medical complications.
Types of injuries most commonly associated with slip and fall claims in Washington include:
Slip and fall accidents can have devastating effects if not resolved correctly, causing permanent disability that requires extensive lifetime care. An experienced Washington slip and fall accident lawyer knows how to analyze long-term costs and ensure they are considered throughout the case.

You must file your claim within 3 years of the date of the accident, as that is the statute of limitations for most cases filed in Seattle Washington. Claims being filed against the government may have a much shorter timeframe in which you would have to file a claim.
If you do not file your lawsuit within this time frame, you will lose any possibility of recovering from your slip and fall accident.
Washington state follows pure comparative fault rules. This means that if you were partially responsible for causing your injury, you can still collect damages even though you were partially responsible. Your damages will be prorated down based on your percentage of fault.
An experienced slip and fall attorney will work to limit the amount of blame the insurers will try to shift onto you.

By Russell & Hill Law Firm
A customer slipped and fell at a large retail shop in Tacoma due to a refrigeration unit leaking water for many hours, suffering a fractured hip requiring surgical correction and months of rehabilitation pursuant to his slip and fall accident lawyers’ representation of him. The store insurance company initially denied liability for their client due to the store claiming that the leak only happened shortly prior to when the accident occurred, but the slip and fall lawyers at Russell & Hill obtained videotape of store employees walking by the puddle that had been created by the leak several times prior to when the accident occurred.
In addition, the Russell & Hill Law Firm retained an expert witness in safety standards who testified that the store was not following proper safety inspection procedures as per industry standards. The Russell & Hill Law Firms’ trip and fall accident lawyers were completely ready to take the case to trial before a jury in Pierce County.
Russell and Hill Law Firm’s lawyers successfully negotiated a settlement for all med. bills, future phys. therapy, lost wages, and pain and suffering for their client totaling more than 3 times the amount of the store’s insurance company’s original offer!

Most often, the property owner has the ultimate liability in a slip and fall case. The property owner’s liability is typically determined based on whether or not they had control of the property and if they failed to correct the hazard resulting in your injury.
After hiring a slip and fall attorney, the attorney will proceed with an investigation and fact finding to build your case, as well as begin negotiations with the insurance adjuster without filing a lawsuit.
