> When you’ve been injured in a slip-and-fall, it’s normal to want to blame yourself. But someone else could be responsible. Let a slip-and-fall lawyer in Wyoming examine your case for free.
It can happen in the blink of an eye—you’re walking down the street, down the stairs of your apartment, or even at the grocery store when suddenly you fall and suffer severe injuries .
These types of accidents are more common than you might realize. And the reality is that they are rarely truly unavoidable. In many cases, the world of pain you’re experiencing now could have been avoided if the property owner or caretaker had done their due diligence.
Fortunately, all is not lost. When someone else is responsible for your injuries after a tumble , a Wyoming slip-and-fall lawyer can review your claim for free.
Common Factors in Slip-and-Fall Accidents
In order to recover a slip-and-fall settlement from the responsible party, you need to demonstrate that:
- The conditions on the premises where you slipped were unreasonably dangerous.
- The owner or occupant of the premises should have been aware of the problem.
- Finally, the dangerous conditions on the property were what actually caused you harm.
Without meeting these conditions, it’s not likely that the at-fault party in your claim could be held liable for your injuries.
Even in cases that you feel are straightforward, it can be difficult to meet this strict level of scrutiny. This is where an experienced slip-and-fall lawyer can take over your case and help you maximize the amount of your settlement.
Some of the most common denominators in slip-and-fall accidents include:
- Unsafe stairs
- Wet floor surfaces
- Broken floorboards
- Dangerous accumulation of objects, especially near chokepoints in a hallway or elsewhere
- Insufficient lighting
- Loose cords or wires
- Ripped or fraying carpets
Regardless of the individual cause of your slip-and-fall, someone should have done something to keep you safe, which is why you deserve compensation for your injuries.
Who Pays for Your Injuries in a Slip-and-Fall?
One common point of clarification in slip-and-fall cases regards who exactly pays out the balance of a slip-and-fall accident settlement.
After all, many people suffer slip-and-falls at a family member’s, neighbor’s, or friend’s home and are worried about placing them under undue financial stress.
In reality, slip-and-fall settlements are generally paid out by the insurance company that represents the property owner. For example, in a residential setting, this is usually homeowner’s insurance or renter’s insurance. In a commercial setting, this is often the private insurance that the business owner takes out for incidents such as costs of litigation.
Regardless, it’s unlikely that the owner of the property involved will be severely financially impacted.
Yet filing a claim can help you recover much-needed compensation for both your economic and non-economic damages, such as:
- Lost income
- Medical bills
- Physical therapy sessions
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional turmoil
- And others

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”
Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"
My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"
I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"
I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"
My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
