When you’ve experienced a slip and fall accident, the aftermath can be overwhelming. Beyond the physical pain, you may face mounting medical bills, lost wages, and other financial burdens.

Every slip and fall case is unique, and settlements can vary widely based on numerous factors. Understanding what your case might be worth can provide peace of mind and help you plan your next steps.

Our slip and fall settlement calculator is designed to give you a clearer picture of the potential compensation you could recover. By providing key information about your economic and non-economic damages, you can gain an estimate tailored to your situation. 

While this tool offers valuable insights, remember that consulting with an experienced slip and fall attorney is essential for an accurate assessment of your case and to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

Types of Damages Awarded in Slip and Fall Cases

Understanding the types of damages you can claim in a slip and fall case is crucial to estimating your potential settlement. Each category covers different aspects of the losses you’ve suffered and the impact the accident has had on your life.

Several factors influence the amount you might recover in your settlement. These include the severity of your injuries, the clarity of liability, the extent of your financial losses, and the long-term impact on your life. 

For example, a slip and fall that results in permanent disability will likely lead to a higher settlement than one involving minor, temporary injuries. Additionally, if the property owner’s negligence is evident, you may be entitled to a more substantial settlement, potentially including punitive damages.

At Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers, we are dedicated to securing the maximum compensation for clients involved in slip and fall accidents. Our experienced legal team specializes in handling these often complex cases, with a proven track record of achieving substantial settlements and verdicts. 

We provide compassionate, transparent support throughout the legal process, ensuring you feel informed and confident every step of the way.

Economic Damages

The most tangible aspect of your slip and fall accident case to calculate is economic damages. These are actual or estimated future financial losses related to your accident. You would not have had these expenses if the other party hadn’t been negligent in causing your fall. 

Medical Expenses

Enter all of your medical bills related to your accident and recovery into our slip and fall settlement calculator. This includes the fees for the ambulance, hospital bills, specialist visits, and durable medical equipment such as walkers, wheelchairs, crutches, and canes. 

You can also include the costs of rehabilitation, full-time nursing care, if needed, and occupational therapy. Check with insurance documentation and credit card statements to see the total amount you have spent.  

Future Medical Expenses

Enter an estimate for your future medical expenses. Will you be able to recover from your injury fully? How long will that take? If you have become permanently disabled and will need additional medical care for the rest of your life, your attorney can help you calculate how many years of medical expenses you’ll need to account for compensation. 

Lost Wages

Enter the total amount of your past lost wages and how much you’re expected to miss out on in the future due to recovering from your injury. If you’ve lost your ability to work in the same career you had before your accident, you could receive compensation for total disability or for vocational training to find a new career. 

Your attorney will advise you on how much to request in lost wages. However, many clients underestimate the amount of compensation they are owed in lost wages, so it’s important to look at your time out of work carefully to enter the right amount. 

Property Damage

Enter the costs of replacing any damaged property into the slip and fall settlement calculator. This can include personal items, such as your smartphone, that were damaged during the fall. If emergency medical staff had to cut off jewelry or clothing to provide you with medical care, you could also include the cost of replacing these pieces of damaged property. 

Non-Economic Damages

There are other types of damages called non-economic damages that you can also receive in your settlement. These are not related to specific financial losses but to intangible factors. Generally, the more serious your injuries and the more impact they have on your life, the more you can expect to receive. 

Pain and Suffering

Pain and suffering is a common non-economic damage you may be awarded. It is based on how long you suffered and how serious the pain was. This is often a multiplier of how much you can claim and recover in the rest of your settlement. 

Disfigurement

Some serious slip and fall injuries can leave you permanently scarred or disfigured. This can have long-reaching impacts on your entire life, from career to romantic prospects. If you have been disfigured as a result of your accident, it might be possible to receive compensation for it as part of your settlement. 

Emotional Trauma

While there are tangible costs to emotional trauma, such as going to therapy, emotional trauma is also a type of non-economic damage that you can claim in your slip and fall lawsuit. The value of emotional trauma in your case will depend on the severity of your injuries and their overall impact on your life. 

Loss of Income Potential

Sometimes, a slip and fall can leave you permanently disabled or force you to accept a new, lower-paying career. 

For instance, if you worked as a model for magazines but you were no longer able to do it because of how your injuries altered your appearance, you’ve lost your income potential. If you accept a position as an administrative assistant and lose a significant portion of your income, you’re missing out on a lot of money you’d otherwise have access to. 

Punitive Damages

Punitive damages are awarded in some cases where the behavior of the at-fault party has been especially reckless and dangerous. It is meant to punish the responsible party and to dissuade similar behavior from occurring in the future. 

It isn’t awarded in the vast majority of cases, but when it is awarded, it can significantly contribute to the amount you’re able to recover in your legal case. 

For instance, if a store left a spill on the floor for a very long period of time and had no policies in place to clean it, or if a retailer’s storefront had dangerous conditions, it could be possible to see punitive damages added to the case.

Wrongful Death

Unfortunately, some families file slip and fall lawsuits for their loved ones who have died as a result of their serious injuries. There are specific types of damages that you can collect on behalf of your loved one that can be included in your wrongful death settlement. 

Funeral and Burial Expenses

Enter any funeral and burial expenses that you incurred as a result of your loved one’s death. This can include specific costs associated with religious ceremonies and transportation to funeral events. 

Loss of Consortium

Loss of consortium refers to the intangible losses associated with losing your loved one. They’re no longer there to provide you with support or physical attention as they did before. 

In some claims where the injured party is still alive, spouses can claim the loss of consortium because of how their partner’s serious injury has made it impossible for them to become intimate or provide physical support to them. 

Loss of Society

The loss of society refers to the broader loss of emotional support and care. Beneficiaries or heirs can claim this for the loss of companionship that they experienced because of their loved one’s early death. 

Your Loved One’s Medical Bills

All of your loved one’s medical bills related to the accident can be claimed in a slip and fall settlement, even though your loved one died from their injuries. There is no reason that you should be left with all of these unexpected medical expenses when you can hold the party responsible for their actions and seek justice.

Slips and falls are unfortunately common. Many property owners do not take the steps that they need to keep visitors and customers safe. This leaves them potentially liable when someone gets hurt on their property. 

This slip and fall settlement calculator is a good starting place to assess how much you could potentially recover in a civil case against the responsible party. However, the best way to know how much you could receive is to speak with a lawyer who can assess your case and compare it to similar cases that have already made their way through the court system.

– Michonne Proulx

Extremely impressed with this law firm. They took control of a bad motorcycle crash that left my uncle seriously injured. Without any guarantee of a financial recovery, they went out and hired accident investigators and engineers to help prove how the accident happened. I am grateful that they worked on a contingency fee basis as there was no way we could have paid for these services on our own.

This lawyer really helped me get compensation for my motorcycle accident case. I know there is no way that I could have gotten anywhere near the amount that Mr. Rosenfeld was able to get to settle my case. Thank you.

– Daniel Kaim

Jonathan did a great job helping my family navigate through a lengthy lawsuit involving my grandmother’s death in a nursing home. Through every step of the case, Jonathan kept my family informed of the progression of the case. Although our case eventually settled at a mediation, I really was impressed at how well prepared Jonathan was to take the case to trial.
