What Is My Slip and Fall Case Worth?

A long recovery can leave you with a pile of medical bills and you may wonder how much support the at-fault party in your case should be providing you with. Each slip-and-fall accident involves many different and unique factors and it’s hard to assign value to an insurance claim until all the damages and injury diagnoses are fully examined.

There are several factors that can impact the amount you’ll receive:

Severity of injury: An injury that causes long-term hardship in your life or causes a permanent disability can require a massive financial commitment on the part of an insurance company. It’s not just the cost of care to this point, but the expense of care expected to be needed in the future will have to be estimated and compensated for by insurance adjusters.

Missed time from work: The valuable time you are away from work while you are healing can also factor into your award. In the case of a disability, you may not be able to return to your former job. This can require a lifetime of financial support for you and your family. Job training may also be necessary if you can find a new career you can physically handle.

Insurance limits: Insurance limits are another concern when you consider what you might earn through a settlement. At-fault parties will have limits on what their insurance policies will provide to injured victims. The party may only carry the bare minimum in coverage and that can leave you short on funds when you try to pay off your medical expenses. An experienced California personal injury lawyer will help you find any other possible sources for financial support.

Your legal representation: Once you sign a settlement agreement, you cannot reopen your case to ask for additional money. You need to make sure it is done right the first time. That is why it is critical to choose legal representation that will account for every financial expense you will likely experience. Maison Law diligently evaluates each case.
