If the accident resulted in injuries or significant property damage, it is a good idea to contact a lawyer. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you navigate the claims process, which can be lengthy and complex.
Your attorney will gather evidence, keep track of your medical records, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you in court if necessary.
The best way to know if you have a case is to speak with an attorney. The Advocates offer free consultations—you can speak with a qualified legal team to understand what your case is worth without paying a dime.
Every personal injury case is different. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to accident claims. The length of the claims process will depend on the severity of your injuries, the willingness of the other party to settle, the court’s caseload, and more.
In general, personal injury cases can take anywhere from several months to several years. It is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible to get your case started. Each state has a statute of limitations for personal injury cases, after which you will lose your right of action.
When you hire The Advocates, we will begin investigating your accident immediately while you finish medical treatment. Once all evidence and medical records have been compiled, your attorney will send a demand letter to the other party’s insurance company. At this point, negotiations will begin.
In many cases, a settlement can be reached during negotiations. If the other party refuses to make a fair offer, you may choose to file a suit. In the litigation phase, your attorney will represent you in court in front of a judge, jury, and/or arbitrator.
For nearly 30 years, The Advocates have helped thousands of personal injury victims receive fair compensation and care they deserve after their accidents, and we are prepared to do the same for you.

There are a lot of factors in a slip-and-fall case. The Advocates have extensive experience in all practice areas related to personal injury and are ready to take on that challenge with you.
Yes, but it depends on the location of the slip and fall. There are three general spheres where slip and fall claims start.
For a successful claim, your personal injury lawyer will need to prove:
A personal injury claim resulting from a slip and fall must be filed within two years.
The clock starts on the date of the accident.
The discovery rule is one major exception. Your two-year timeframe begins when you discover an injury from the accident. Injuries such as migraines might not show up for weeks, months, or years after the accident.
Follow these steps to protect your health, finances, and the inevitable personal injury claim we will bring to court.
The type of accident you have will determine your injuries. Some common injuries fall victims experience are:
All it takes is an icy walkway, and before you know it, you’re on the ground with a broken back. Calling a lawyer is the last thing you think about in moments like this. But our legal advice is to hire an experienced attorney as soon as you can—even on the day of the accident if possible.
