Slip-and-fall intake for Birmingham firms.
Slip-and-fall inquiries vary widely, so clear qualifying questions save your intake team the most time. Casestead answers every slip-and-fall inquiry to your firm in about a minute, day or night, and books qualified people with your intake team in Birmingham.
What the reply desk asks
Qualifying questions come from your firm's written criteria. For slip-and-fall inquiries, firms usually ask for:
- Where it happened: store, workplace, apartment, public property
- Date of the fall
- Whether it was reported to the owner or manager
- Photos or witnesses
- Injuries and treatment
- Whether they have a lawyer
Why the first minute matters
Many slip-and-fall inquiries don't fit a firm's criteria, and the ones that do are easy to lose in the pile. A first reply that asks your questions sorts them before your intake team spends time on the phone.
Follow-up
Booked consults that didn't sign get one follow-up draft about their fall, for your intake lead to approve.
Alabama context for intake
The general limitation period for personal-injury negligence claims in Alabama is 2 years. Inquiries about older incidents are flagged for a lawyer instead of being booked like a new case.
Alabama is one of the few jurisdictions that still applies contributory negligence: a claimant found even slightly at fault can be barred from recovery, so how the incident happened matters from the very first message.
General rules for context only, not legal advice. Exceptions apply (minors, government defendants, discovery rules, recent amendments). Your firm's lawyers decide.
Questions
Do you work with slip-and-fall firms in Birmingham?
Yes, one personal-injury firm per metro, by application. Applications from Birmingham are read in the order they arrive.
Can the system screen out inquiries we don't take?
It asks your written qualifying questions and books only what fits. Anything outside your criteria gets a polite reply your firm wrote, and nothing is sent to other firms.
What about falls on government property?
Those are flagged for a lawyer, since claims against public entities can have short notice deadlines.
