Q. Will the insurance company continue to pay my medical bills after we settle the case?

Q. How long will it take for my premises liability claim to be resolved?
A. A case involving a fall can also usually be resolved within six months. If court proceedings are necessary, it can take from nine to 15 months.

In each of these rather common accident situations, someone suffers a serious injury, such as a hip fracture, a broken wrist or arm, a twisted back, or a head injury.
In each of these situations, a property owner can be held financially liable because his or her negligence contributed to those injuries. Business owners, landlords and homeowners are responsible for identifying dangerous situations on their property and taking steps to correct it or warn the public.
When they fail to do so, injured people have a right to seek financial compensation for sustaining their injuries and losses.
If you've been injured because of a dangerous condition on a property or from a dog bite because someone failed to control a dangerous animal, contact Allison & Mosby-Scott. Personal injury attorney William Allison has been helping injured people achieve financial recovery for their medical bills and lost income for more than 30 years.
