What makes for a good slip and fall case?

Most attorneys in Tennessee do not take slip and fall cases without taking a long hard look at them.  For me, I won’t just take one to add to my file count.  I want to make sure that the hazard is NOT open and obvious.  I prefer having proof that the property owner was aware of the hazard.  I also prefer for my client to be completely free of any fault in fall.

Normally, the above is not the case.  Most of the cases I was involved with as an adjuster, the injured person who fell was simply not watching what they were doing.

So, if you have a slip and fall, I will be happy to talk with you about it, but don’t get offended if I don’t take it.
