    Do I Need a Sacramento Slip and Fall Injury Attorney?

    Slip and Fall Injury Attorney in SacramentoIf you were seriously injured in a slip and fall accident in Sacramento, you need a slip and fall attorney to help you recover what you are owed under the law. The experienced Sacramento attorneys at Tiemann Law Firm can help you pursue a claim against the negligent property owner that caused your harm.

    Bringing a claim for injuries sustained in a slip and fall accident is an involved and complicated process that requires the help of an attorney. Much more is involved than filling out forms and other paperwork.

    Dealing with insurance companies can be an overwhelming process. The insurance companies do not have your best interest in mind. Their only goal is to pay you as little as possible for your injuries. In fact, they would actually prefer to pay nothing towards your claim.

    In some instances, insurance companies will blame you for your accident and wrongfully deny your claim. In other cases, an insurance company may decline to settle your claim because they do not feel that your injuries are serious or permanent in nature.

    Don’t let this happen to you. Call the attorneys at Tiemann Law Firm to discuss your Sacramento slip and fall case. Without an experienced attorney by your side, you will not recover what you are fully owed for the harm you suffered due to your slip and fall accident.

    The attorneys at Tiemann Law Firm can also help with your slip and fall case by making sure that all your medical bills are timely paid. In some instances, your attorney can also ensure that you are getting the care you need to recover from your injuries.

    Your attorney will also collect and preserve all relevant evidence to support your claim against the wrong-doer. This may include the following:

    • Obtaining recorded statements of eyewitnesses
    • Taking photographs of the accident site
    • Speaking to the investigating first responder
    • Hiring an engineer or accident reconstructionist
    • Obtaining all of your medical records
    • Having you examined by a medical specialist
    • Collecting paystubs and tax returns to prove lost wages

    Once your attorney has all pertinent evidence, they will try to negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf. It is crucial to have an attorney represent you at this juncture because an experienced Sacramento slip and fall attorney will understand what your injuries are worth and will demand that you receive the maximum compensation for your injuries.

    However, some cases will not settle for various reasons. If a settlement cannot be reached, the attorneys at Tiemann Law Firm will be ready to take your case to court, and to verdict, if necessary.

    Types of Slip and Fall Accident Cases We Handle

    All slip and fall cases will involve a claim of negligence. Negligence is the failure to use due care under the circumstances. Negligence can manifest itself in infinite ways, unfortunately.

    A party is negligent when they breach the duty of care. For example, if a business owner does not remove ice and snow from their premises, it can be argued that they breached a duty to keep their customers safe.

    In Sacramento, property owners are negligent when they fail to properly maintain or manage their property. If their negligence causes someone to be injured in a slip and fall accident, the property owner will be responsible for the injured party’s damages.

    There can be several causes of slip and fall accidents. These may include:

    • Spilled food and beverages in a grocery store
    • Debris left on the premises
    • Failure to remove snow and ice
    • Wet surfaces both indoors and outdoors
    • Worn out carpeting
    • Defective sidewalks
    • Uneven flooring
    • Clutter and debris
    • Loose floorboards or floor tiles

    It is important to speak to a Sacramento slip and fall attorney about the circumstances of your accident to determine how the standard of care was breached by the wrongful party.

    I sat down and met with Jelena Tiemann about my vehicle accident.I presented all of my documentation to her in which she gave me her assessment.Although the Tiemann Law Firm wont be representing me because my settlement offer was pretty good she was very clear,forward and professional about what she felt could and couldn't be done.I recommend this law firm to anyone who needs a helping hand at fighting a case where you don't have to worry about the outcome not going in your favor. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees.

    The Tiemanns were referred to me by a friend and I am exceptionally happy with the service I received. I had never been in an accident before. I had no idea what to do. Jelena verbally explained how everything would work to me, and she and Peter handled everything. I didn't have to lift a finger once. They went above and beyond for me and I am extremely grateful. I pray I won't ever need this type of assistance again, but I will definitely be referring them to friends and family.

    I highly recommend The Tiemann Law Firm! I had never before been in a situation where I sustained injury and had to seek legal representation. I was nervous, traumatized, and had no idea what to expect. Jelena, Peter, and their staff walked me through each step of the process. They explained everything in detail. They patiently answered all my questions, responded quickly to every email, text message, phone call, etc. I felt totally prepared for each new phase of the legal process. Furthermore, they were fearless in their defense of me. In certain situations, when I felt attacked or scared my attorney protected me like I was family. Their diligence, honesty, integrity, and compassion provided a true sense of healing and closure for my family and I. The Tiemann Law Firm accomplished more for me than I ever thought possible and I am forever grateful.

    From the very start of my case the Tiemann Law Firm was wonderful. Perter came all the way to my home to sit down and talk to me about my options. He made me and my partner feel very comfortable and promised us he would take the very best care of my case. Peter kept me informed every step of the way and was always on top of things. everything was done in a timely manor and I always felt like I was the only case he was working on because he was so fast. In the end Peter got me back way more money than I ever expected. I would recommend this law firm to everyone. I am very happy with the outcome of my case thanks to the Tiemann Law Firm! Thank you!

    No one wants to have to hire a lawyer, but if you do. I prefer Tiemann Law. They helped a family member who was injured on the job, and the company did not want to compensate him even though, the injury occurred on the job on company time. Jelena was always professional in explaining the lengthy process of fighting a large corporation. 2 years later he finally is receiving the deserved compensation.

    I just saw my lawyer Jelena Tiemann on a t.v ad, which reminded me how much she helped when I was in a desperate situation. I just love her! That is why I feel a need to tell everyone. I had a situation that happened & didn’t know what to do, our where to go. I didn’t even know if she could help me or if any lawyer could. All I wanted was it to go away & was afraid most lawyers wanted to drag it out & possibly go to court. For one she was very professional but was very personable (maybe b.c she’s a lady). She didn’t make me feel embarrassed or self-conscious that I did something wrong or was the cause of the situation. She immediately said we should try our best before going to court. Let me handle some paperwork, if at the last we do go to court we have documents. She gave me all the details, pros and cons but reassured me she deals with these cases all the time. She came through and made it as painless as possible. I now have my life back.

    I was in a car accident a while back where I was injured and had to miss work for an extended period of time.  After nearly a year of fighting with the insurance company with no results and no progress, I met with Jelena Tiemann.  I couldn't have asked for a more responsive and supportive advocate.  We quickly reached a settlement and I finally was able to move from the stress and burden of feuding with my insurance.  I highly recommending meeting with Jelena if you're in need of a lawyer.
