Everett Slip and Fall Lawyer – Get the Compensation You Deserve After a Premises Injury

If you've been hurt in a slip and fall accident in Everett, Washington, you're not alone—and you don't have to handle the insurance companies by yourself.

Everett sees frequent slip and falls due to rainy weather, retail stores like Alderwood Mall, grocery aisles, parking lots, sidewalks, and workplaces near the port or Boeing areas. Wet floors, uneven pavement, icy steps in winter, or unmarked spills cause serious injuries: broken bones, head trauma, back/spinal damage, and long-term pain.

As a former defense attorney now fighting exclusively for injured people like you, I know exactly how insurance companies try to minimize or deny claims. I use that insider knowledge to build strong cases and get maximum recovery—on a no-win, no-fee contingency basis. You pay nothing unless we win.

What Should You Do Immediately After a Slip and Fall in Everett?

Taking the right steps early protects your health AND your legal claim.

1

Seek medical attention right away

Even if injuries seem minor—adrenaline masks pain, and delays hurt your claim.

2

Report the incident

Tell the property owner/manager and get an incident report.

3

Take photos/videos

Document the hazard, your injuries, scene, lighting, and any warning signs (or lack thereof).

4

Get witness information

Collect names and contact details from anyone who saw the fall.

5

Avoid recorded statements

Don't give recorded statements to insurance adjusters without a lawyer.

6

Contact me ASAP

Washington's 3-year statute of limitations starts on the injury date (RCW 4.16.080). Evidence disappears fast.

Common Causes of Slip and Falls in Everett

  • Wet floors from leaks, spills, or tracked-in rain (grocery stores, restaurants)
  • Uneven sidewalks or parking lot potholes/cracks
  • Icy stairs/ramps in winter
  • Poor lighting in hallways, stairwells, or lots
  • Loose mats, debris, or faulty handrails in apartments/retail

Who Pays for My Injuries?

Premises Liability in Washington

Property owners (stores, landlords, businesses) must keep premises reasonably safe for visitors. If negligence caused your fall—failure to clean, repair, or warn—you can seek compensation for:

  • Medical bills (past and future)
  • Lost wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Rehabilitation costs
  • Reduced quality of life

Washington uses pure comparative negligence—if you're partially at fault (e.g., not watching your step), your award reduces proportionally, but you can still recover.
