What is the Average New Port Richey Slip and Fall Settlement Value?

Although some victims of slip and fall accidents do not suffer significant or life-threatening injuries, other victims do not fare as well. Slip and fall accidents can leave victims with long-term or permanent injuries or disabilities. In some cases, victims may suffer fatal injuries.

Florida poses a significant risk for these types of injuries. In fact, according to the Florida Department of Health, slip and fall accidents are the second leading cause of death and the number one reason for emergency room visits.

Depending on the details of your case, you could be entitled to recover compensation for some or all of the following:

  • Emergency transport and treatment,
  • Medical testing,
  • Physician services,
  • Surgeon services,
  • Medications and medical devices,
  • Rehab and physical therapy,
  • Lost wages and benefits, and
  • Pain and suffering.

You could also be entitled to pursue compensation for future lost income and benefits, any future medical treatment and care you require, diminished quality of life, and diminished earning capacity.

Because slip and fall injuries can be so severe, settlement values often tend to be higher than many other types of personal injury claims. Unfortunately, because every victim is different, we cannot estimate an average claim or settlement value. The best way to determine what your claim value might be is to seek help from an experienced Florida slip and fall accident lawyer.

What Should You Do After a Slip and Fall Accident?

After any type of injury accident, the most important consideration is your safety and well-being. Seek medical attention immediately, even if you don’t believe you sustained serious injuries. If you don’t get checked out by emergency medical technicians at the scene of your accident, go to the emergency room as soon as possible. This ensures you get the treatment you need and establishes the basis for your injury claim.

If you can safely do so, take photos of the scene of your slip and fall accident. Talk to any witnesses that are present and get their contact information. If you fell inside a business, such as a store or mall, you may be required to file a report with the manager on duty. Take care to not say anything that could jeopardize your claim or admit any fault in the accident. Even a casual comment such as, “Oh, I’m just clumsy” could be used against you later to deny your claim or minimize your claim value.

Finally, contact a New Port Richey slip and fall attorney as soon as you can. Collecting evidence at the scene and taking witness statements are critical to building your case. The sooner you can get your attorney started, the better.
