Slip and Fall Damages

A slip and fall case can result in minor injuries that you can recover from within a few days or a few weeks. However, slip and fall accidents can result in severe injuries that are life-threatening, permanent, and severe. Traumatic head traumas and spinal cord injuries are common in severe slip and fall accidents. These injuries can result in hundreds of thousands of dollars in slip and fall damages for the accident victim in addition to the physical and emotional pain he or she must endure.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a slip and fall accident, you do not need to bear the financial burden for another party’s negligence, recklessness, or carelessness. You have the legal right to recover slip and fall damages from the negligent party who was at fault for your accident.

What Types Of Slip and Fall Damages

Are Available To Me?

Each slip and fall case is different. The circumstances surrounding the accident are different as are the injuries sustained by the accident victim. While it is impossible to predict with certainty the types of slip and fall damages that may be available to you for your slip and fall accident, below are some common slip and fall damages that we see in most slip and fall cases.

• Past and Future Medical Expenses

One of the largest components of a slip and fall claim is the accident victim’s medical expenses. As the severity of the injuries increases, the medical expenses also increase.

Past and Future Lost Wages

An accident victim is entitled to receive reimbursement for all past lost wages due to the accident as well as any future lost wages if he or she is unable to work due to the injuries.

Other Financial Losses

The accident victim may be entitled to receive reimbursement for other out-of-pocket expenses such as hiring someone to perform household chores, medical equipment, over-the-counter medications, and travel to and from medical appointments. The exact type of slip and fall damages in this category would be determined by the circumstances of the individual case.

• Pain and Suffering

Financial losses are a large part of the overall claim in a slip and fall case, however, the accident victim is entitled to receive compensation for the emotional distress and physical pain caused by the accident. Again, this will be determined by the facts of the case and the severity of the accident; therefore, it is difficult to determine the exact value of this type of slip and fall damage until the attorney reviews the case.
