Philadelphia Slip & Fall Lawyer FAQ

Philadelphia is an amazing, walkable city for locals and visitors alike. With sights to see, work to get to, errands to run, and events to attend, pedestrians can be at risk of slips and falls throughout the city, especially during rainy or snowy days.

When people slip and fall, they understandably have a lot of questions about the process of seeking damages. Here are just some of the questions our team has been asked:

At Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC, we recommend prioritizing your health by seeking immediate medical attention. Document the incident thoroughly by photographing the scene and any contributing factors. Ensure you report the accident to the property manager or owner and acquire a copy of the report. A personal injury attorney from our team promptly can help safeguard your rights.

Pennsylvania law stipulates a two-year window from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Our slip and fall attorneys can help you act swiftly to ensure your rights are protected.

Yes, Pennsylvania abides by a modified comparative negligence rule. Even if you were partially responsible, you can still recover damages, though your compensation may be adjusted according to your degree of fault. The at-fault’s party may try to blame you for your own accident to reduce their own liability, but our attorneys can fight back against these approaches.

Many personal injury cases are settled pre-trial. However, the attorneys at Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC are prepared to advise and represent you in court if a fair settlement isn’t achievable.

Typically, the IRS doesn’t tax personal injury settlements for physical injuries or illness, but elements like interest and punitive damages may be taxable. We always recommend consulting with a tax professional.

Slip and fall incidents often result from wet or slippery surfaces, uneven sidewalks or floors, inadequate lighting, and walkway obstructions. Many accidents happen in public at retail or other commercial properties, but slip and falls still happen at private residences, too.

If your accident was due to a property owner’s negligence, their liability insurance may cover your damages. If liability is contested, we may need to conduct negotiations with the insurance company or even court proceedings.

Workplace accidents typically fall under workers’ compensation insurance. However, if a third party’s negligence contributed to your injury, you may also have a personal injury claim.

They bear a legal duty to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition. If their negligence led to your injury, they could be held accountable.
