How Spartan Car Accident & Personal Injury Lawyers Can Help After a Slip and Fall Accident

You’ll have to pursue a premises liability claim to seek compensation for your slip and fall accident. If you’re injured on someone else’s property, you may be suffering from injuries. Property owners must keep their properties in a reasonably safe condition for guests. If you can prove that a property owner owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and that the breach directly caused your injuries while on their property, you may be entitled to damages.

However, getting the money you’re entitled to is often difficult in slip and fall cases. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers and adjusters who work hard to minimize claims. Accident victims need someone to fight for them to get the best result possible.

How Common Are Slip and Fall Accidents?

In 2022, more than 8.5 million people in the U.S. were treated in the emergency room for falls. In 2023, falls were the second leading cause of death. These numbers demonstrate that slip and fall accidents are prevalent in the U.S.

How Much Is My Slip and Fall Accident Case Worth?

One frequently asked question from clients is, “How much is my accident case worth?” Without knowing the facts of the case, we can’t offer an estimate. The value of slip and fall cases varies significantly based on the facts of each case.

Some factors that most significantly impact the value of your case are:

The type and severity of your injuries
Your long-term prognosis and whether or not you have permanent disabilities
The impact your injuries have on your ability to work
The impact your injuries have on your quality of life
Policy limits of applicable insurance coverage
Whether the fault was shared

Our lawyers can give you an accurate estimate of the value of your case.

What Damages Are Available in Slip and Fall Accidents?

If a property owner’s negligence caused your accident, you’re probably entitled to compensatory damages. Compensatory damages compensate victims for all losses from an accident.

Economic damages are documentable financial losses.
Non-economic damages compensate victims for non-monetary losses (e.g., pain and suffering).

Common damages awarded in slip and fall accidents are:

Lost earning capacity
Lost income
Current medical costs
Future medical expenses
Expenses for homecare, physical therapy, or occupational therapy
Pain and suffering
Mental anguish or emotional distress
Decreased quality of life
Disfigurement or scarring

Calculating damages is a complex process. Our team can discuss the types of damages available in your case and calculate the amount of damages you’re entitled to. We’ll hire experts to help calculate and support your damages claim when necessary.

What Are Common Slip and Fall Accident Injuries?

Many people assume that slip and fall accidents involve minor injuries. While we see a wide range of injuries after falls, many of them are serious.

Some of the most common slip and fall injuries are:

Traumatic brain injuries
Spinal cord injuries
Back and neck injuries
Joint injuries
Broken bones

If you’re involved in a slip and fall accident, seek medical treatment right away. Prompt medical attention gives victims the best chance to make a full recovery. It also provides important documentation of your injuries, which can help support your personal injury claim.

What Are Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents?

The reality is that most slip and fall accidents can be prevented. They are usually caused by the property owner’s negligence in repairing defects, maintaining the property, or warning of dangerous conditions.

That said, many different things can lead to premises liability accidents.

Some of the most common causes are:

Damaged or poorly maintained flooring
Crumbling sidewalks or parking lots
Poorly maintained stairs
Missing or damaged handrails
Inadequate lighting
Inadequate precautions to keep floors from being slippery – for example, no floor mats or inadequate anti-skid treads
Malfunctioning or improperly maintained elevators or escalators

After an accident, our team investigates to determine all causes of the accident and all parties responsible for your injuries.
