Call Us NowCompensation for Your Fall Accident
You already know how the fall has affected your life. Now you need to convince the at-fault party’s insurance company—and, potentially, a jury—that you have suffered unnecessarily, and that the property owner’s negligence is the cause of your suffering.
Our legal team can work with you to create a complete list of all your accident-related losses. Common types of damages that we seek for injury victims include:
- Medical expenses
- Loss of income or benefits
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Reduced quality of life
- Disabilities
In wrongful death cases, we help surviving family members seek different kinds of damages, including:
- Funeral expenses
- Loss of financial support
- Loss of companionship
No matter what kinds of damages you are entitled to, we can fight hard for the money you deserve. You should not have to lose any more than you already have.
If you’ve been injured or a loved one has been killed through an act of negligence, you need the highest level of legal representation.
Schedule a Free ConsultationTrip and Fall Accidents Are Often Preventable
Falls can be extremely dangerous, especially for:
- Very young children
- The elderly
- Workers in hazardous industries
For example, a 2025 study published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that 341 older adults in Idaho passed away from unintentional fall injuries in 2023.
These statistics are especially frustrating because so many falls are preventable. Property owners have a duty to protect legal visitors to their property—this includes customers, clients, business associates, and employees—by taking common-sense precautions. These may include:
- Taking immediate action when they learn about a potential hazard
- Posting warning signs until the hazardous condition is completely fixed
- Cleaning up liquid spills or puddles
- Addressing trip hazards, like broken floors or debris left in walkways
- Ensuring there is enough light for everyone to see and avoid hazards
- Laying down ice melt when it is cold and shoveling after snowstorms
These responsibilities apply to all areas within the property owner’s control, including both indoor areas (aisles, staircases, elevators) and outdoor areas (parking lots, sidewalks, decks).
Whether you suffered a serious injury or lost a loved one after a fall on someone else’s property, your accident never should have happened. Let Sargent Law Firm Injury Lawyers seek justice on your behalf so you have the support you need to move forward after this devastating event.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does a Slip and Fall Lawyer Cost?
We charge a contingency fee, which means you pay us a percentage of your final settlement or award once you receive the money. We will discuss this percentage with you before you sign our contract.
How Much Can You Get for a Fall Injury?
You deserve enough compensation to cover all accident-related injuries. This amount is different for each injury victim. The sooner you hire us, the more time we will have to establish which kinds of damages you are eligible for and to develop a strategy for disputing the insurer’s attempts to undervalue your claim.
What Is the Difference Between Premises Liability and Slip and Fall?
Premises liability refers to any accident that occurs on someone else’s property. Slip and fall accidents are a type of premises liability accident, but not all premises liability cases involve slips or trips. Our team also represents people who were injured due to inadequate security, fires, dog bites, and elevator accidents.
Can I Still Get Compensation if I Am at Fault for a Fall?
Idaho law allows you to recover compensation even if you are partly responsible for your accident (e.g., you were looking at your phone instead of where you were walking). However, your payout will decrease as your share of liability increases, and at a certain point, you will be ineligible for any money at all.
