Who paysfor yourmedical billsfollowing aSlip and FallAccident?
Most businesses or commercial property owners will have the necessary insurance to cover these slip and fall cases,not only as a protective measure for their employees or customers but also for themselves. However, the coverage isfrequently limited, and the capped amounts are often nowhere near high enough to cover any sort of ongoingtreatments that might be necessary. Typically, this is because the coverage is primarily intended for minor injuries andperhaps temporary loss of income. The school of thought here tends to be that most people who suffer from a slip andfall accident just want their initial medical bills covered and compensation for any time they might have to take offwork. By offering the bare minimum coverage, employers or property owners can usually get away without anyallegations of wrongdoing. This is one of the many reasons why speaking to an experienced slip and fall attorney isimportant in order to protect your rights.

However, if an injury is serious enough to havelong-term effects or require medical attentionbeyond the initial treatment, the excess billswill fall to the victim to pay. In cases where aslip and fall accident occurs on someone’sproperty who does not have insurancecoverage, the injured party would need toprove that the property or landowner wasnegligent and caused the incident in some waybefore they will be able to recover any damage.In most cases, this is very difficult to do,particularly without experienced attorneys andprofessional legal representation.
