How Do I Prove Negligence in a Slip and Fall Case?
To recover compensation in a slip and fall case on private property, you must prove that the property owner failed to address a safety issue that foreseeably could have caused your injuries, which, in fact, did cause your injuries. You must also be able to show you were legally on the property and not a trespasser.
If your slip and fall occurred on public property, you must show that your injury occurred due to a government employee’s negligence.
The skilled legal team at Daniels & Scriven, P.C. can help you obtain the evidence you need to prove your claim. Depending on the circumstances, this evidence could include:
- Video footage of the condition that caused your injuries
- Photos of the accident scene
- Medical records
- Maintenance and inspection records
- Similar reports about the same safety issue
- Personnel records and communications about the hazardous condition
Financial Compensation You Can Recover After a Slip and Fall Accident
Slip and fall victims can seek compensation for their economic and non-economic losses. Economic damages provide compensation for quantifiable losses, such as medical bills. Non-economic damages compensate for intangible losses, such as pain and suffering. Your demand package may demand the following types of damages:
- Medical treatment costs – You can request compensation for the medical bills you have already incurred because of the accident and medical expenses you reasonably anticipate occurring in the future.
- Lost income – You can seek compensation for lost wages you incurred while seeking medical treatment or recovering from your injuries. You can also seek compensation for reductions in your long-term earning capacity if you suffered a disability or your injuries interfere with your ability to work.
- Property damage – You can also seek compensation for any personal property damaged during the accident, such as your cell phone and clothing.
- Pain and suffering – Your personal injury claim can also ask that you be reasonably compensated for your physical and emotional pain and suffering such as PTSD.
Our dedicated legal team can identify all the damages you sustained and prepare a compelling case for maximum compensation.
What Is My Slip and Fall Case Worth?
The total value of your personal injury case will depend on various factors. Every case is different. Some factors that could affect your case value include:
- The nature and severity of your injuries (head trauma vs a common bruise)
- The party responsible for the accident and their liability insurance coverage
- The value of your damages
- How the injury has affected your life
- Whether you contributed to the accident
After thoroughly reviewing your case, our legal team can estimate your case’s potential value. If you were driving on someone else’s property and your car skidded due to lack of ground salting, contact a Thornton car accident lawyer today to pursue compensation for damages.
