Pagosa Springs, CO Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

Only your attorney knows what the case might be worth. Please sit down and ask them. You trusted them when you hired them and must now rely on that while the case is in suit. Our opinions would be worthless based on a small online blurb.

Maybe both of you. Depends on your lease. Typically, the lessee(you) agrees to be responsible for snow removal, ice, etc. If it is a hole in the sidewalk you, the owner, and the city may share responsibility. If you are sued, immediately turn it over to your premises liability insurance company.

Slip and fall cases are extremely difficult to prove and are not favored in the law. You obviously have severe injuries which is only 1/2 of the two-part equation the other half is liability. Insufficient lighting is extremely difficult to prove as the source of your fall. But to answer your questions is almost impossible with the information you provide. For any attorney to give a fair opinion the amount of your medical bills, even if paid by Medicaid, is a critical component to the valuation of your case. I think most lawyers would want to see the site where you fell and/or have photos of the scene, and definitely would want to review all of the medical bills before giving you an opinion as to case value. Your current attorney is in the best position to evaluate your case because he or she should have this information. Going to mediation is an excellent venue and opportunity to resolve your case. The mediator will assist you in exploring the pros and cons of going forward. Good luck.
