Slip and Fall Accident Claim

I was injured in a slip and fall accident, and am currently on complete bed rest. I am going to file a slip and fall accident claim against the party responsible. I would like to know how much my claim is worth.

The short answer to your question is: It depends, because each case is different and each state has different laws.

However, there are some common considerations. Your slip and fall accident claim may be calculated on the following basis:

Your medical bills - both present and future
Your past and future medical treatment bills related to your fall will be one of the main measuring sticks in calculating your claim. Depending on where you live, the amount used to calculate your damages may be the amount the healthcare provider billed, or the amount the healthcare provider agreed to receive as payment in full.

Pain and suffering
There are no hard-and-fast rules for calculating pain and suffering. Depending on the severity of your injuries, your attorney or the insurance adjuster evaluating your claim will typically determine an appropriate multiplier to use, in addition to your medical bills, to calculate the amount of compensation you are entitled to for your pain and suffering.

Lost wages
If the accident caused you to miss time from work, you may be entitled to recover the value of the wages you would have earned.

Loss of earning capacity
If your injuries are so severe that you are unable to perform the type of work you performed prior to getting hurt, and you are unable to earn as much as you did previously, you may be able to recover an amount that is meant to compensate you for your "lost earning capacity”.

  7. I was painting at a construction site. The scaffolding I was working on suddenly broke and I suffered severe injuries. I was hospitalized and had to undergo surgery. The doctor says that I need four months of rest. Who is liable for my injuries?
