I was injured when a faulty light fixture fell on me at a restaurant and have been contacted by their insurance company – what should I do?

Avoid providing any information to the insurance company without speaking first to an attorney – insurance companies will often try to make you sign papers that prevent you from suing anyone connected to the accident. They will also evaluate your situation based on how little damages they feel they can offer you – not how much your situation merits. You should always contact an experienced premises liability attorney first, who can review the circumstances of your accident and provide advice on the appropriate legal action.
