A slip and fall accident could happen to anyone. Icy conditions, loose floorboards or any other impediment may lead to a slip and fall. No matter how athletic or strong a person is, slipping and falling can cause devastating consequences.

If you’ve suffered a slip and fall, you may be entitled to compensation. Having a lawyer on your side throughout one of these cases will help you get every penny you deserve.

What Can Cause a Slip and Fall Accident?

Slip and fall accidents can happen inside or outside. Regardless of where a fall happens, they are often serious accidents. Some of the common causes of slip and fall accidents include:

  • Slipping on wet or icy sidewalks,
  • Missing a step due to loose or faulty stairs,
  • Tripping on a bunched-up rug or carpet.

While there are obviously many other ways in which a person could slip and fall, the above three constitute some of the main ones.

Who is Responsible in a Slip and Fall Case?

Generally, if you had the right to be on a property, the owner or manager of said property has a duty to ensure that you are kept safe from things that would cause you to fall.

Clearly, there are nuanced situations such as tripping hazards that an owner would not have had any way of knowing about. But as a basic rule of thumb, property owners need to take reasonable steps to keep anyone on their property safe from harm.

How Much Could I Expect to Receive in a Slip and Fall Accident Settlement?

Unfortunately, it’s impossible to say how much an individual should expect to receive in such an accident. there are so many factors that make can affect the outcome of such a case, and no one could say for sure how much you’ll end up with at the end of the day.

A few of the factors that can affect settlement amounts include:

Monetary losses as a result of the injuries sustained from the fall

This may include medical bills, costs associated with rehabilitation such as physical therapy, lost wages due to having to take time off from work, and many more.

Pain and suffering

This includes both physical and mental pain.

General effect on life

If the person feels intense sadness and severe emotional changes after the accident, this may factor into the overall settlement amount.

What Can a Slip and Fall Lawyer Do for Me?

Your Slip and Fall lawyer will, in short, do everything that is needed to make your case as strong as possible. This will include gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and dealing with insurance representatives and lawyers for the other involved parties.

You are, of course, under no obligation to hire a lawyer after a slip and fall accident. But you should strongly consider partnering with a lawyer, as they will protect you and help you get a bigger settlement than you’re likely to receive on your own.

If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall accident, call a lawyer today!
