Q: Can I get copy of my apartment complex's insurance carrier outlining slip and fall personal injury damages coverage?
Is there a protocol or set amount payable guideline per certain personal injuries?
Example: Broken hip resulting in surgery=certain amount?
A: I'm sorry to read about your hip. They're not going to give it to you before filing a lawsuit. I've never seen an apartment premises liability case settle pre-suit. They're going to fight every step of the way. Your injuries are serious and you need someone willing and able to take on a premises liability case to the courthouse steps and beyond if needed. Luckily, there are plenty of us out there. Don't wait - call one ASAP.
Tim Akpinar agrees with this answer
A: As my colleague states, it could be difficult to obtain insurance information short of filing suit. As for your other question about guidelines for your injury equating to a certain amount, it isn't possible to do that based on the limited details. Attorneys will assess your injuries (which sound serious; I hope you're okay) together with the element of liability (whether there was fault on the part of the premises). Law firms that handle such cases usually offer free initial consults without obligation. You could consider lining up a free initial consult to discuss your injuries, rights, and best options. Good luck
