How To Get A New Attorney For My Slip And Fall Case

When you suffer a slip and fall injury, your entire life can feel as if it is falling apart. You are likely in a great deal of pain, face massive medical bills, and are unable to work and earn a living to provide for yourself and your family. The worst part about this specific kind of accident injury is that most should have been prevented if the staff of the facility where you suffered the slip and fall incident were more dedicated to the basic care of the space and protecting the safety of guests. Many people think that their community’s food markets, grocery stores, shopping malls, medical offices, high-rise office buildings, schools, city-owned buildings, and parks are relatively safe and well-maintained.

However, the honest truth is that most buildings, public spaces, and even private homes and spaces are not maintained to the level of safety that eliminates most common slip and fall hazards. Guests to these facilities face hazards and safety concerns that could have been eliminated or prevented in just a minute or two if the workers and owners had been dedicated to meeting their obligation under premises liability law and duty of care. However, they chose to ignore the responsibilities for whatever reason, from earning more profit in a sales setting to a lack of concern or dedication to maintaining the space or taking on the essential cleaning chores to ensure safety.

If you or a loved one recently suffered a slip and fall injury, you probably secured a legal team to represent you and handle your slip and fall case. That is a wise choice as it is well documented that a lawsuit handled by a legal professional will provide significantly greater compensation than one litigated or managed by the injury victim. However, in your haste to secure a legal team, you may have made a quick choice to hire your slip and fall accident injury attorney. Unfortunately, it can be easy to want to hire quickly and pass the legal challenges of your ordeal off to a slip and fall attorney who claims to be well-qualified and successful in litigating cases like yours. But that is not always what happens.

If you feel that your slip and fall attorney is not handling your slip and fall case correctly, is not returning your calls, or is ignoring your requests, please know that you do not need to endure this added disrespect and hardship.

What Change Slip And Fall Attorneys?
There must have been reasons you chose the slip and fall attorney you hired to handle your case. They might have been referred by a friend or family member, you heard they had a good reputation, or they were the first to respond to your request for a consultation after you suffered the slip and fall incident. But once hired, there are many opportunities for an attorney to fail to meet your needs or your desired level of care, which can include:

• Your phone calls are not being answered, or you are not getting callbacks from your attorney or legal team
• Emails are not getting a swift response
• The legal team is constantly making requests for documentation or information you already provided
• The legal team is repeatedly failing to meet deadlines or provide status updates
• You feel your case is being ignored or mishandled

In any of these instances, you have the legal right to fire your current attorney and hire a new slip and fall attorney to handle the matter for you. Please know that all you need to do is pick up the phone and contact Normandie Law Firm. Our firm offers free second opinion consultations on slip and fall cases to help injury victims make difficult choices about firing their legal team, evaluating the progress or handling of a case, or to understand the legalities of their slip and fall case if they are unsure their attorney is acting appropriately.

Slip And Fall Cases Can Be Life-Altering
Sadly, slip and fall cases are very common and often result in significant harm to the victim. The injuries suffered can alter the course of the rest of their lives because of physical challenges or limitations caused by these or other severe slip and fall injuries sustained:

• Broken or shattered bones
• Compound fractures
• Joint dislocations and the destruction of the soft connective tissue of the joints
• Severe lacerations and puncture wounds that can involve damage to internal organs and internal bleeding
• Harm to the neck, back, or spinal cord
• Soft tissue damage and the destruction of nerve tissue
• Facial injuries to the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and the delicate skin on the face
• Head injuries that can include a skull fracture, severe concussion, brain bleed, or other traumatic brain injuries

When you sustain these injuries, the cost of your medical care can skyrocket, and you need to know that your slip and fall attorney is working diligently to ensure that you get the compensation needed to cover these costs and others caused by the harm resulting from another person’s negligence. Please also understand that if you are not happy with the legal services you are receiving from your slip and fall attorney, it is crucial you contact Normandie Law Firm today to discuss the case and process to fire your slip and fall attorney and hire our team to represent you before it is too late to file a lawsuit with the court or to ensure that any slip and fall case that has been filed is properly handled to ensure you get the full compensation you deserve.

How To Fire Your Slip And Fall Attorney
The choice to fire your current slip and fall attorney should not be made casually. However, there are many issues that serve as reliable indications that you and your slip and fall attorney are not a good fit for one another or the current case. If you have tried to address your concerns with your lawyer or with the complaint department at the law firm, with no change in the services you are receiving, making the switch to Normandie Law Firm is a sound choice.

The correct process to fire your current slip and fall attorney is to notify the attorney and law firm in writing that you are removing them from your case. It is also in your best interest to include in the letter the name of the law firm that will be taking over the case. If you are hiring Normandie Law Firm to take over the case, our staff will handle everything else once the current legal team has been notified of the change. Our staff will contact your current slip and fall attorney to set up a time to retrieve all the documentation related to the case. You will never have to see or speak to that attorney after they receive the letter notifying them of their removal from your slip and fall lawsuit.

No Worries About Added Fees Or Costs
When you file a slip and fall injury lawsuit, your lawsuit will seek a specific amount of compensation that is determined by using the amount of actual losses and expenses you sustained because of the slip and fall incident in question. The items are called allowable expenses and will typically include but are not strictly limited to:

• The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the incident
• The cost of all current and projected medical care related to the injuries sustained in the slip and fall incident
• All legal expenses associated with preparing, filing, and litigating your slip and fall lawsuit
• Your lost income if the injuries suffered in the slip and fall incident prevent you from working at your regular job until you are fully healed

This compensation will cover all the costs associated with the work completed by your first slip and fall attorney, as well as the staff at Normandie Law Firm. You should also know that when you fire your current slip and fall attorney and hire Normandie Law Firm, we never ask for any upfront payments. Instead, we only get paid for our work and investment in preparing the slip and fall case after the matter is resolved and you have the compensation needed to cover your legal fees and other expenses. Finally, if your Normandie Law Firm slip and fall attorney fails to win the case and get you the compensation you need to pay your bills, you owe the firm nothing.

Beware, Your Time To Take Legal Action Is Limited
As a personal injury victim who suffered slip and fall injuries, please know that you have a limited time to take legal action and have your case filed with the court. For most personal injury cases, the time limit to file the case with the court is two years from the date of the incident. In cases where the responsible party is a government entity or agency, such as a police force or the city, that time limit is decreased to only six months from the date of the injuries. If your slip and fall case has not been filed by your current legal team, please know that these time limits will still apply if you hire a new legal team and there are minimal exceptions that would provide more time to file a slip and fall lawsuit. So, please act swiftly if you have any concerns about how to get a new attorney for your slip and fall case. The staff at Normandie Law Firm is here to help 24/7, and your consultation or second opinion consultation is always free.
