You’re walking through a grocery store when your foot hits a wet patch near the produce section. One second you’re upright, the next you’re on the ground with pain shooting through your hip and wrist. The manager apologizes, offers you an incident report, and calls for help. But in the days that follow, the bills start piling up. Medical appointments, imaging, lost wages from missing work. The insurance adjuster calls with questions that feel more like interrogations than genuine concern about your recovery.
Slip and fall cases might sound simple, but they’re anything but. Property owners have insurance companies backing them, and those companies employ teams of adjusters and attorneys whose job is to pay you as little as possible—or nothing at all. At Herschensohn Law, we’ve spent over 20 years representing injured people across Washington State. We know how these cases unfold, and we know how to win them.
Why Choose Herschensohn Law
Two Decades of Proven Results
Since 2003, attorney Zach Herschensohn has been fighting for injured people in Washington State. As Federal Way personal injury lawyers we have secured multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts, including a $2,700,000 verdict for a woman with a permanent back injury who received compensation solely for her pain and suffering. We obtained $564,000 for a client with a back injury and $512,000 for someone with a herniated disc caused by negligence. These results don’t happen by accident—they come from thorough preparation, aggressive advocacy, and refusing to settle for less than what our clients deserve.
Local Knowledge That Matters
Federal Way has its own risks and challenges. We know the retail centers along Pacific Highway South, the condition of sidewalks near the transit center, and the seasonal hazards that affect properties throughout King County. This isn’t theoretical knowledge—we’ve handled premises liability cases in Kent and across Western Washington, and we understand how local conditions, weather patterns, and property maintenance standards affect your case.
No Upfront Costs, Ever
We work on contingency. That means you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. No retainer fees, no hourly billing, no surprise invoices. We advance all case costs ourselves, and we only get paid when you do. Call us 24/7 at (206) 338-4175 for a free consultation.

Understanding Slip and Fall Accidents in Federal Way
Federal Way sits in the heart of South King County with a population exceeding 100,000 residents. According to the Washington State Department of Health, there were approximately 29,140 fall-related emergency room visits for adults 60 years and older in 2020. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that falls, slips, or trips accounted for 22 percent of Washington workplace fatalities in 2023.
When you combine heavy rain with high foot traffic at commercial properties, the risk of falls increases significantly. Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe premises. That includes regular inspections, prompt cleanup of hazards, adequate lighting, proper drainage, and warning signs when dangers can’t be immediately corrected. When they fail in these duties and someone gets hurt, Washington law allows injured parties to seek compensation.
High-Risk Locations in Federal Way
The Commons at Federal Way sees thousands of visitors daily, especially during holiday shopping seasons. Wet floors near entrances, spills in food courts, and crowded walkways create conditions where falls happen. We’ve seen cases involving poor lighting in parking structures, inadequate snow removal in winter, and merchandise left in aisles.
Federal Way Transit Center handles significant pedestrian traffic in all weather conditions. Cracked pavement, inadequate drainage, poor lighting, and slippery surfaces when wet have all contributed to falls. Public transportation hubs require diligent maintenance, and when Metro or the property owner fails to provide it, people get hurt.
Celebration Park and other public spaces offer recreational opportunities but also present hazards. Uneven walkways, broken stairs, inadequate handrails, and tree roots pushing up through paths can all cause serious injuries. Even public property falls can result in valid claims, though the process differs from cases against private property owners.
Pacific Highway South corridor retail locations include everything from big-box stores to strip malls. We’ve handled cases involving grocery store spills not cleaned promptly, parking lots with potholes and broken asphalt, restaurant entryways without adequate matting during rain, and retail stores with merchandise blocking aisles.
The Federal Way Community Center and aquatic facilities present unique risks including wet pool decks, locker room floors, and high-traffic lobby areas. Recreation centers must maintain their properties to standards that account for water exposure and crowds.
Types of Slip and Fall Cases We Handle
Wet Floor Accidents
Grocery stores, restaurants, and retail shops all deal with liquid spills. The issue isn’t whether spills happen—it’s whether the property owner knew about the hazard and failed to address it quickly. We investigate how long the substance was present, whether employees were aware of it, what inspection procedures were in place, and whether warning signs were used. Your claim depends on proving the property owner’s negligence, not just that you fell.
Icy and Snowy Walkways
Federal Way gets ice and snow several times each winter. Property owners must clear walkways, apply de-icing materials, and block off areas that remain hazardous. We examine weather records, property maintenance logs, and surveillance footage to determine whether the owner met their legal obligations. Businesses can’t simply wait for snow to melt—they have a duty to act.
Defective Stairs and Handrails
Broken steps, missing handrails, uneven riser heights, and inadequate lighting all violate building codes and create serious fall risks. Stairway cases often involve significant injuries because falls down stairs generate more force than same-level falls. We work with building inspectors and safety experts to document code violations and connect them to your injuries. Understanding your legal rights as a victim helps you recognize when property owners have violated their duty of care.
Parking Lot Hazards
Potholes, crumbling asphalt, poor drainage, inadequate lighting, and snow accumulation make parking lots dangerous. According to the National Safety Council, more than 8.5 million people were treated in emergency rooms for fall-related injuries in 2022. Property owners must maintain these areas even though they’re outside the main building.
Poor Lighting
Inadequate illumination contributes to many falls because people can’t see hazards in time to avoid them. This applies to stairwells, parking areas, walkways, and building interiors. Washington building codes specify minimum lighting standards, and when property owners fall short, they create liability
Negligent Maintenance
This broad category includes torn carpeting, loose floor mats, debris left in walkways, leaking roofs that create puddles, and broken tiles. The common thread is that these hazards are preventable with reasonable care. Property owners who defer maintenance to save money put visitors at risk. We’ve also handled apartment negligence cases where landlords failed to maintain common areas safely.
Common Injuries in Slip and Fall Cases
Fractures and Broken Bones
Hip fractures are particularly serious for older adults. These injuries often require surgery, sometimes hip replacement, and lengthy rehabilitation. Many patients never fully recover their previous mobility. Wrist fractures happen when people try to catch themselves, often resulting in complex breaks that need pins, plates, or screws. Ankle fractures can require multiple surgeries and leave permanent limitations. Insurance companies try to minimize these injuries, claiming they’re common and should heal quickly. They ignore the reality that fractures in older adults or those involving joints often result in permanent complications.
Spinal Injuries
Back injuries from falls include herniated discs, compression fractures, and soft tissue damage. Herniated discs can press on nerves, causing radiating pain, numbness, and weakness. Treatment might include physical therapy, injections, or surgery. Compression fractures of the vertebrae are common in falls, especially for those with osteoporosis. These injuries are extremely painful and can lead to permanent height loss and chronic pain. Insurance companies often claim back pain is pre-existing or unrelated to the fall, which is why we obtain complete medical records and expert opinions.
Traumatic Brain Injuries
When your head strikes the ground or a fixed object during a fall, you can suffer a concussion or more severe brain injury. Symptoms include headaches, dizziness, memory problems, difficulty concentrating, mood changes, and sensitivity to light or noise. Some people dismiss these symptoms initially, only to find they persist for months or become permanent. Brain injuries require specialized treatment and documentation because they’re not always visible on standard imaging. These types of serious catastrophic injuries deserve substantial compensation.
Soft Tissue Injuries
Sprains, strains, and contusions might sound minor, but they cause real pain and disability. Severe sprains can require surgery. Chronic soft tissue injuries may never fully heal, especially when they affect weight-bearing joints. Insurance companies love to downplay soft tissue injuries, calling them subjective or temporary. We counter this by documenting your treatment consistently and showing how the injuries affect your daily life.
Shoulder Injuries
Rotator cuff tears, dislocations, and fractures commonly result from falls. These injuries significantly limit your ability to perform work tasks, household activities, and self-care. Treatment often requires surgery and months of physical therapy. We’ve obtained substantial settlements for clients with shoulder injuries, including cases where the injury ended their ability to work in their chosen profession.
Psychological Trauma
Falls can cause lasting anxiety, fear of falling again, and post-traumatic stress. Older adults often lose confidence and become less active, leading to deconditioning and further health problems. These psychological impacts are real damages that deserve compensation, though insurance companies try to ignore them.
What Your Slip and Fall Case Is Worth
Your compensation depends on the specific facts of your case. Every injury is different, every person’s life is affected differently, and every defendant’s insurance coverage varies.
Economic Damages
These are your measurable financial losses. Medical bills for emergency room visits, doctor appointments, physical therapy, surgery, medications, and medical equipment. Future medical costs if you need ongoing treatment. Lost wages if you missed work during recovery. Lost earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous job or working at all. Property damage if you broke a phone, glasses, or other items in the fall. We document every dollar you’ve lost and every dollar you’ll lose in the future.
Non-Economic Damages
Pain and suffering, physical impairment, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, and disfigurement all qualify as compensable damages under Washington law. These damages often exceed economic losses, especially when injuries are permanent. A herniated disc that leaves you with chronic pain for the rest of your life deserves substantial compensation even if your medical bills are relatively modest. Our $2,700,000 verdict for a client with a permanent back injury consisted solely of non-economic damages—the jury understood that some injuries can’t be measured in medical bills alone.
We offer free consultations to evaluate your case. We’ll review the circumstances of your fall, your injuries, and the likely value of your claim. No obligations, no pressure. Call (206) 338-4175 anytime.
Washington Premises Liability Law
Washington follows a premises liability framework based on the relationship between the injured person and the property owner. The law distinguishes between invitees, licensees, and trespassers, with different duties owed to each category.
As a customer or visitor to a business, you’re an invitee. Property owners owe invitees the highest duty of care: they must inspect their premises regularly for hazards, correct dangerous conditions promptly, and warn visitors of dangers that can’t be immediately fixed. This duty extends to hazards the owner knows about and hazards they should have discovered through reasonable inspections.
Washington State law RCW 4.24.115 addresses landowner liability and outlines circumstances where property owners may have reduced liability. However, this statute primarily applies to recreational land use and doesn’t shield commercial property owners from liability when they fail to maintain safe premises for customers.
Here’s how it works in practice. Imagine a grocery store with a leaking freezer case that drips water onto the floor. An employee walks past three times over the course of an hour but doesn’t notice the puddle. You come around the corner, slip on the water, and break your wrist. The store may be liable even though the employee didn’t actually see the water—the question is whether reasonable inspections would have caught it. If other customers reported the leak, if it was in a high-traffic area, or if it had been present for more than a few minutes, the store likely had constructive notice of the hazard.
Washington applies comparative fault principles under RCW 4.22.005. If you’re found partially at fault for your fall—say you were texting while walking—your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. According to the National Library of Medicine, approximately 1 in 5 of reported non-fatal work-related accidents involve slips, trips, and falls on the same level. If you’re 20% at fault and your damages total $100,000, you’d recover $80,000. This is why insurance companies work so hard to blame you for the accident.
Insurance Company Tactics You’ll Face
The Early Settlement Offer
Within days of your fall, you might receive a call offering a quick settlement. They’ll make it sound generous, emphasizing that you’ll get money right away with no hassle. They won’t mention that you’re still being evaluated, that your full extent of injuries isn’t yet known, and that their offer is a fraction of what your case might actually be worth. Once you accept their check and sign their release, you can’t come back for more money even if you discover additional injuries.
Denying the Hazard Existed
The insurance company will claim there was no water, no ice, no defect—you just weren’t watching where you were going. They’ll produce statements from employees who conveniently don’t remember any hazard. We counter this by obtaining surveillance footage immediately, interviewing witnesses, and documenting the scene before evidence disappears. We use the same investigative techniques that strengthen car accident claims—photographs, witness statements, and incident reports create a clear record of what happened.
Claiming You Were at Fault
They’ll say you should have seen the hazard, that any reasonable person would have noticed it, that you were distracted or careless. They’ll dig through your social media looking for evidence that you weren’t paying attention. We protect you from these tactics by investigating the scene, documenting sight lines and lighting conditions, and showing that the hazard wasn’t obvious.
Disputing Your Injuries
Insurance adjusters love to claim your injuries are minor, pre-existing, or unrelated to the fall. They’ll hire doctors to review your records and produce reports minimizing your condition. We work with your treating physicians to document the connection between the fall and your injuries, obtain expert opinions when necessary, and present clear evidence that your pain and limitations are real.
Surveillance
Insurance companies sometimes put investigators on your case, filming you going about your daily activities. They’re looking for footage of you doing something inconsistent with your injury claims. We prepare our clients for this possibility and counsel them to be honest about their limitations—don’t claim you can’t walk if you’re actually able to move around with difficulty.
Steps to Take After a Slip and Fall
Immediate Actions
Report the fall to the property owner or manager right away. Get their name and contact information. If you’re in a store, insist they complete an incident report and ask for a copy. Don’t let them brush you off with assurances that you’ll be fine. Take photos of the hazard that caused your fall from multiple angles. Photograph the surrounding area, lighting conditions, and any relevant warning signs or lack thereof. Get contact information from anyone who witnessed your fall. Don’t rely on the property owner to preserve this information—they’re not on your side.
Get medical attention the same day, even if you feel okay initially. Adrenaline masks pain and some injuries take hours or days to manifest symptoms. Going to a doctor right away also creates documentation linking your injuries to the fall. If you delay, insurance companies will argue your injuries came from something else. Never admit fault or say things like “I should have been more careful.” Even casual statements can be used against you later. Exchange information but avoid detailed discussions about what happened.
In the Following Days
Follow all treatment recommendations from your doctor. Missing appointments or failing to do prescribed physical therapy gives insurance companies ammunition to claim you weren’t really hurt. Keep every receipt related to your injury—medical bills, prescriptions, parking fees for doctor visits, costs for mobility aids or home modifications, anything you wouldn’t have paid but for the fall. Document how your injuries affect your daily life. Keep a journal noting pain levels, activities you can’t do, sleep disruption, and emotional impacts.
Contact an attorney before speaking with the property owner’s insurance company. They’ll call sounding friendly and concerned, but their job is to get information they can use to deny or minimize your claim. We handle all communication with insurance companies so you can focus on healing. Many people don’t realize the common mistakes after an accident that can destroy their case—talking to adjusters without legal representation is one of the biggest.
Don’t post about your accident or injuries on social media. Anything you share can be taken out of context and used against you. Insurance companies routinely monitor claimants’ social media accounts. Even innocent posts can be twisted to suggest you’re not as injured as you claim. Your social media posts can affect your case in ways you might not expect.
The Legal Process for Slip and Fall Claims
Free Consultation and Case Evaluation
Your case begins with a conversation. We’ll ask about how your fall happened, your injuries, and how they’ve affected your life. We’ll explain the legal process, evaluate the strength of your claim, and discuss potential compensation. This costs you nothing and creates no obligation. We work on contingency, so if we take your case, you pay no attorney fees unless we recover money for you. Knowing what to bring to your consultation helps us evaluate your case more effectively—bring photos, medical records, and any documentation from the property owner.
Investigation and Evidence Collection
Once you hire us, we get to work immediately. We send preservation letters demanding that the property owner maintain all relevant evidence including surveillance footage, maintenance logs, and incident reports. We investigate the scene, taking measurements and photographs, checking for code violations, and researching the property’s history of similar incidents. We obtain your complete medical records and bills, interview witnesses, and consult with experts when needed. We’re building a case that proves the property owner’s negligence caused your injuries.
Demand and Negotiation
When you’ve completed treatment or reached maximum medical improvement, we prepare a detailed demand package presenting your case to the insurance company. This includes medical records, bills, lost wage documentation, expert reports, photographs, and a comprehensive explanation of why their insured is liable and why you deserve full compensation. Most cases settle during this phase if the insurance company makes a reasonable offer. We negotiate aggressively, and we’re prepared to file a lawsuit if they won’t pay what you deserve.
Litigation if Necessary
Some cases don’t settle during negotiations. When that happens, we file a lawsuit in King County Superior Court. The litigation process includes discovery (formal exchange of information), depositions (recorded testimony under oath), expert witness preparation, and motion practice. Many cases settle during litigation once the insurance company sees we’re serious and realizes the strength of our case. If necessary, we take your case to trial and present it to a jury. Our experience includes handling complex construction site injury cases and workplace injury litigation.
Resolution
Cases resolve either through settlement or trial verdict. We keep you informed throughout the process and never settle without your approval. When we reach a resolution, we handle all the paperwork, negotiate medical liens to maximize your net recovery, and get your money to you as quickly as possible.

We worked with Zach and Crystal on our case and they were always quick to respond to any questions we had. Thanks Zach to you and your great team!” – Alex Zahajko
Time Limits for Slip and Fall Cases
Washington law gives you three years from the date of your fall to file a lawsuit under RCW 4.16.080, the personal injury statute of limitations. Miss this deadline and you lose your right to compensation forever, no matter how strong your case.
But waiting three years is a terrible idea. Evidence disappears. Surveillance footage is recorded over. Witnesses forget details or move away. Property conditions change. The wet floor that caused your fall gets fixed, and no one can prove it was ever hazardous. Your memory of events fades. Medical records get harder to obtain as time passes.
Beyond evidence deterioration, there’s another reason to act quickly: insurance companies take early claims more seriously. If you wait months or years to report a fall, they’ll argue it never happened or wasn’t serious. They’ll question why you delayed and suggest you’re trying to inflate your claim or blame them for injuries that came from something else.
Federal Way municipal property falls, such as accidents at city-owned facilities or parks, require following special procedures. Claims against municipalities have much shorter notice requirements—often 120 days or less. Miss these deadlines and your claim is barred regardless of how badly you were hurt. Anyone wondering whether they can sue a government agency needs to understand these strict deadlines.
Don’t gamble with your rights. Call us today at (206) 338-4175 for a free consultation. We’ll evaluate your case, explain your options, and protect your claim before evidence vanishes and deadlines expire.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire your firm?
Nothing upfront. We work entirely on contingency for personal injury cases. That means you pay no attorney fees unless we recover money for you. We advance all case costs—expert fees, court filing fees, investigation expenses—and we only get reimbursed if we win. Our fee comes as a percentage of your recovery, so our financial interests align completely with yours.
How long will my case take?
Most slip and fall cases resolve within 6-18 months, but timelines vary significantly. Simple cases with clear liability and modest injuries might settle in a few months. Complex cases involving serious injuries, disputed liability, or difficult insurance companies can take longer. We can’t predict exactly how long your specific case will take, but we work efficiently to maximize your recovery as quickly as possible without sacrificing results for speed. Understanding how long claims take helps set realistic expectations.
Should I accept the insurance company’s settlement offer?
Not without talking to an attorney first. Insurance companies make early offers hoping to close claims cheaply before you understand the full extent of your injuries. Once you accept and sign their release, you can’t come back for more money even if you discover additional injuries or complications. We evaluate whether offers are fair based on your medical prognosis, future treatment needs, and the full value of your damages.
What if I was partially at fault for my fall?
Washington applies comparative fault, which means your compensation is reduced by your percentage of responsibility. Under Washington’s comparative negligence law, if you were 25% at fault and your damages total $100,000, you’d recover $75,000. Being partially at fault doesn’t prevent you from recovering—it just reduces your compensation. Insurance companies will try to inflate your fault percentage, which is why you need an attorney defending you.
What if I didn’t see a doctor right away?
This creates challenges but doesn’t necessarily destroy your case. The key is seeking treatment as soon as you realized you were injured and being honest with your doctor about the timeline. Delayed treatment gives insurance companies ammunition to argue your injuries aren’t serious or came from something other than the fall. See a doctor now if you haven’t already, and explain exactly when the fall occurred and when symptoms developed.
Can I still recover compensation if there was a warning sign?
Possibly. The presence of a warning sign doesn’t automatically shield the property owner from liability. We examine whether the sign was adequately visible, whether it was placed where people would actually see it, and whether the hazard could have been eliminated instead of just marked. Sometimes warning signs are placed after hazards exist, creating questions about when the sign went up and whether it was present when you fell. Property owners can’t simply put up a sign and ignore dangerous conditions.
What if the property owner claims they didn’t know about the hazard?
They don’t need actual knowledge to be liable. If reasonable inspections would have discovered the hazard, the law treats them as if they knew about it. We investigate their inspection procedures, maintenance schedules, and history of similar incidents. If a hazard existed long enough that it should have been discovered, the property owner may be liable even if no employee specifically saw it.
How much is my case worth?
Every case is different. Value depends on the severity of your injuries, the amount of your medical bills, whether you need future treatment, how much work you missed, whether you have permanent limitations, the degree of pain and suffering, and the strength of liability evidence. We evaluate these factors during your free consultation and give you an honest assessment of how we determine value.
What if I can’t afford medical treatment?
We can often help connect you with providers who treat on a lien basis, meaning they agree to be paid from your settlement. We also work with health insurance companies to ensure your treatment is covered appropriately. Many clients worry about how medical bills get paid during their case. Don’t let cost concerns prevent you from getting necessary medical care—untreated injuries worsen over time and reduce the value of your claim.
Will my case go to trial?
Most slip and fall cases settle without trial, but we prepare every case as if it will go to trial. Insurance companies settle when they know we’re ready, willing, and able to present your case to a jury. Our trial experience and track record of success in court give us leverage in negotiations. Whether your case settles or goes to trial depends on whether the insurance company makes a fair offer. We explain what to expect when filing so you understand the entire process.
