Why You Need a Lawyer After a Slip and Fall Accident
The aftermath of a slip and fall accident can turn your life upside down in an instant. Medical bills pile up, insurance companies deny your claim or offer pennies on the dollar, and you’re left wondering how to put your life back together while still recovering from your injuries. But here’s the truth—property owners and their insurance companies are already working against you.

Navigating Complex
Legal Claims
Slip and fall cases aren’t straightforward. Indiana premises liability law requires proving the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition that caused your fall. This involves complex legal standards around “constructive notice,” “actual notice,” and the property owner’s duty of care. Without proper representation, you’re facing an uphill battle against experienced insurance defense attorneys who know every trick to deny your claim.
Understanding Insurance Company Tactics
Property insurance companies use aggressive tactics to minimize slip and fall payouts. They’ll argue you were careless, that the condition was “open and obvious,” or that you were trespassing. They’ll send investigators to interview witnesses, take photos, and build a case against you before you even know what’s happening. Without an experienced Indiana slip and fall accident lawyer, you’re at a severe disadvantage.
Understanding Statute of Limitations
Indiana law gives you only two years from the date of your accident to file a lawsuit. Miss this deadline, and you’re out of luck—no matter how strong your case is or how severe your injuries. There are also notice requirements for claims against government entities that must be satisfied within much shorter timeframes.
What to Do After a Slip and Fall Accident

The Hard Truth
Slip and Fall Accident Statistics That Demand Action
The numbers don’t lie—Indiana has a serious slip and fall problem, and here’s what gets us fired up.
Indiana recorded 89,044 fall-related injuries among adults over 65 in 2023 alone, resulting in $1.7 billion in hospital charges. The state’s fall death rate has skyrocketed 60% since 2014, with 685 fall-related deaths in 2023 representing a rate of 58.1 per 100,000 population—a preventable tragedy that destroys families and devastates communities.
Nationally, slip and fall accidents cost our healthcare system $50 billion annually, with Medicare bearing $28.9 billion of these expenses. Falls cause 38,742 deaths yearly among older adults and generate 3 million emergency department visits, making them the second leading cause of accidental death in America.
Indiana’s workplace falls prove equally devastating, with 18 fatal falls, slips, and trips in 2021 contributing to workers’ compensation costs of $70 billion nationwide. Fall protection violations rank as OSHA’s #1 most cited standard for 14 consecutive years, proving most of these accidents are completely preventable with proper safety measures.
Leading Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents
Most slip and fall accidents are preventable, which is what makes them so maddening. Understanding these causes helps us build stronger cases.
