You can pursue a claim on your own, but having a lawyer helps with collecting evidence, dealing with insurers, and pursuing the maximum compensation available. A careful attorney also explains your rights and prepares you for the process ahead.
Fault is assessed by whether the property owner owed a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused your injuries through the hazard. Evidence such as camera footage, maintenance records, and witness statements often plays a key role.
