Why Our Firm Is the First Call for
Slip‑and‑Fall Victims
Insurance adjusters rush to blame “carelessness.” We dig deeper, gathering maintenance records, surveillance video, and witness statements that reveal negligence, not clumsiness. The result? Full‑value settlements that pay hospital bills and future therapy costs, not quick checks that leave you footing the rest.
The store swore I just wasn’t paying attention. McLane & McLane found video showing the spill had been there for thirty minutes. I walked away with a settlement that actually covered my surgery.”

Hidden Hazards That Trigger Serious Falls
Wet tile with no caution cone, loose handrails no one bothered to tighten, fractured pavement outside popular shops, each is an accident waiting to happen. We routinely prove liability in cases involving slippery grocery aisles, untreated ice and snow, and broken stairs or sidewalk heaves that trip unsuspecting visitors after dark.
Injuries That Echo Long After the Bruises Fade
A fall from standing height can shatter bones and interrupt lives. We often see fractured wrists and ankles (plates and screws included), herniated lumbar discs that steal sleep, and concussions that leave victims battling headaches and memory fog. Our network of orthopedists and neurologists documents these injuries in detail, linking every follow‑up visit to the original fall, proof adjusters can’t ignore.
What to Do Right After You Hit the Floor
- Seek immediate medical care. Adrenaline masks pain; X‑rays don’t.
- Report the fall to a manager or landlord and ask for a copy of the incident form.
- Photograph the scene before the hazard disappears or is quietly fixed.
- Collect names of anyone who saw you fall. Independent witnesses add powerful credibility.
- Call McLane & McLane before speaking with an insurance rep, they are trained to minimize payouts.
How We Turn Evidence Into Compensation
Property owners often claim the danger was “open and obvious.” We counter with timestamped videos, weather logs proving ice was never salted, and building‑code experts who explain exactly how lighting or handrail violations caused your fall. Once the defense sees we’re trial‑ready, negotiations shift, and fair offers follow.
Full compensation may include: medical expenses (ER to rehab), lost wages, future diminished earnings, in‑home care or accessibility modifications, plus the very real pain and loss of normal life activities.
Don’t Wait—Evidence Disappears Fast
Surveillance systems often record over themselves within days, erasing the footage that proves a slick floor or untreated ice patch. Weather can change overnight and melt evidence, while employees mop, sweep, or fix hazards before anyone asks questions.
Witness memories fade just as quickly. In a week, details blur; in a month, many vanish. Contacting us today lets our investigators photograph, measure, and interview while everything is still fresh, locking down proof the defense can’t dispute.
