If you suffer injuries in a slip and fall accident on another party’s property, you may be able to recover compensation through an insurance claim or a personal injury lawsuit. While the types of compensation may be similar from one case to another, the amount can vary.
Every case is different, so there is no average or minimum amount of compensation that victims may get in a slip and fall accident case.
Some of the factors that influence how much compensation you qualify to receive include:
The extent of your injuries
The overall impact of the injuries on your personal and professional life
The permanency of your injuries or any impairments
How much work you must miss due to the injury or if you can return to work at all
Your potential recovery in a slip and fall accident directly reflects the circumstances surrounding your injuries and how they affect your life. For example, a broken wrist that completely heals most likely requires less medical treatment and a shorter recovery period than a traumatic brain injury that may result in a permanent impairment.
Although the insurance companies involved will try to deny or minimize your claim, you can pursue all forms of compensation related to the losses you have sustained in your accident. Our slip and fall attorneys can help document those injuries and other related losses to build your case and strengthen your claim for damages.
