Slip and fall lawyer Maine: your deadline

The first thing a Maine slip and fall lawyer checks is the clock. You have six years from the day you fell to file, under 14 M.R.S. § 752.

Talks with the owner's insurer do not stop that clock. Only a lawsuit filed in court does.

How Maine splits the blame

Maine bars the claim if you were half to blame or more. Below that, your share comes off the award. The rule is in 14 M.R.S. § 156.

Say a jury values the case at $40,000 and finds you 20 percent to blame. You would receive $32,000.

Public property in Maine

Claims against a city, county or the state here follow their own rules and paperwork. Call the same week you fall so nothing is missed.

What your Maine case is worth

The value comes from your bills, lost pay, how long you hurt, and the fault split above.

Answer four quick questions; the Maine rule is already set.

How this number is built

Bills plus lost pay, plus an assumed pain allowance of one and a half to five times the bills by injury. Then the state's fault rule. Maine bars recovery if you were half to blame or more. Policy limits, liens and future care are left out.

How Maine fall lawyers charge

Fall lawyers in Maine work on contingency. They take a share only if they recover money for you, and nothing if they do not.
