New York, NY - The complexities involved in a personal injury lawsuit come with a lot of fine print. Victims who suffer injuries due to a preventable fall could unintentionally weaken their case if they do not use proper verbiage. Describing a fall as either a slip or a trip can make all the difference when it comes to evaluating if the injuries that were sustained are consistent with the evidence. whether the evidence supports the claim. A slip and fall lawyer can help you understand the small but crucial differences in order to help you achieve the best possible outcome for your case.

Samantha Kucher earned her Bachelor’s degree at New York University and then attended New York Law School where she earned her Juris Doctorate. Throughout her years of experience in working with personal injury cases, she and her associates have collectively recovered millions of dollars in compensation for their clients.

“The most important thing to us as a firm is to help our clients get the maximum compensation to which they are entitled. Having a good grasp of the legal system is an undertaking in itself. There is a lot of new terminologies to learn and understand before the pieces can start coming together to make sense. Being that bridge to help our clients understand their case and how it plays in the justice system is a huge part of how we take care of our clients. We are honest and clear in our communication with our clients and their cases every single step of the way and I really think that ends up making a world of difference for them.”

Kucher explains how the term “slip” and the term “trip” can sometimes be used interchangeably, but that small change can end up negatively affecting the credibility of either the story or the evidence. Using the correct term throughout the entire case is imperative to its strength in proof. She discussed what a fall victim should do after they’ve experienced a fall as well as described the biggest differences between a slip and a trip. A slip involves falling in a backward motion because of how your feet end up coming out from under you, whereas a trip involves falling forward because something caused your forward momentum to stop in its tracks, thus propelling you forward.

“Slipping as opposed to tripping may seem like a really small thing to worry about. But if we take for instance a case where a fall victim tripped over a “caution - wet floor” sign. The victim fell forward and fractured their wrist upon trying to catch themselves as they landed. If a witness explains that they saw the victim slip (being unaware of the difference), then the defendant could view the difference as an opportunity to prove that the injuries that the victim sustained were in fact due to a slip and not a trip and therefore was not caused by the sign that was left on the ground. This is where excellent preparation for a case from an experienced attorney can help fall victims navigate these kinds of intricacies.”

Kucher believes that proper attention to detail in slip/fall cases is imperative to building a successful case for clients.
