The size of settlement checks for victims who suffer a fractured knee in a Lowe’s accident would depend on the severity of the injuries and how long it takes to heal. Every injury is different, and everyone heals at their own pace. These variables would affect the amount of support a patient would need to demand from Lowe’s Home Improvement’s insurance provider.
In some cases, patients may only suffer a bruised or sprained knee and quickly heal. For an ambulance ride and an emergency room visit, victims might only receive $1,000 or less. But a more serious knee injury would build up more medical costs and should earn more in compensation from a home improvement store.
In just one example, Maison Law helped a woman secure $185,000 after she fell at a restaurant and hurt her knee. If the injury had resulted in a permanent disability, even more in support would have been needed for a lifetime of care. Maison Law would fight to secure even more in compensation on behalf of our client.
What Is My Knee Injury Claim Worth?
A skilled attorney would go over the details of your case with you and then begin a full investigation into the accident and Lowe’s negligence. Your attorney must also go over your medical charts and speak with your doctors to determine what your prognosis looks like. How long until you heal? Will you heal completely?
Only then could an accurate estimate of your settlement range be arrived at. An exact number is hard to give right away because not every victim receives the same level of support, even if they have similar injuries.
These factors and others would all affect the size of a settlement check:
- The totals on hospital and physical therapy bills. The estimates on care that might be required in the future (additional surgeries, physical therapy, home care, etc.).
- The level of pain that victims endure.
- The emotional trauma a knee injury causes.
- The change an injury brings to a normal life routine.
- The number of paychecks victims lose while they are in recovery and can’t work.
- The experience and negotiation skills of your lawyer.
The level of negligence on the part of a business can affect the size of a settlement check. Showing evidence that a Home Improvement store left out tripping hazards, like merchandise on the floor, can make it harder for the store’s lawyers to try to pin the fall on you. The more proof you have of a business’s carelessness, the more they’ll be on the hook for paying you whatever you demand for the pain they’ve caused.
A lawyer helps you back your case with evidence by taking the details you might’ve collected at the scene, such as photos of the obstacle that caused you to trip, and building your claim around them. Your lawyer also contacts witnesses for testimony and requests any surveillance video that might have captured your trip and fall and knee injury. When all the evidence is compiled, your California Lowe’s Trip-and-Fall Attorney files your claim and demands the maximum in support.
