Slip and Fall Case Value

Answer:

We were talking with a client who came in not so long ago. They had slipped and fallen at one of the local theme parks here in Orlando, Florida. The question that they had asked me was what the value of this type of case is. What compensation should I expect to get for the injuries that I’ve sustained in this case? We advised our client that it really depends. It depends on several different factors, but for the most part, one of the most important factors that it does depend on is the severity and the nature of your injury.

If it is a mild injury, your case may be less valuable, but at the end of the day, we’re more worried about your health and whether you are able to function as opposed to the actual value in terms of monetary compensation that you can get. Many of our clients who are less injured are fine with that type of valuation. They understand that their injuries may not be as severe as others. It really depends first and foremost on the nature of the severity of the injuries and what other things you may not have lost.

In other more serious cases where the injury was severe and the client has received lengthy treatment process and they are disabled or their range of motion and things like that are affected, their daily lives are affected, then the compensation and the value can go up. Though we can’t put a dollar amount on it, as attorneys experienced in slip and falls and dealing with these types of cases, we can tell you that we will gather all the evidence to make sure that your claim and the compensation that you get is the most that is possible for your particular type of claim. We have medical costs. We have the nature of the injury. We also have other items such as pain and suffering or the loss of enjoyment of life that we can use to come up with evaluation in your case.

Again, all of these things depend on the particular and unique facts and circumstances of your case. What we recommend is that you sit down with an attorney that’s experienced in handling slip and fall cases in Orlando, Florida, that way you can get the most information and know exactly where your case may be headed in terms of length of resolution and ultimate compensation that you may receive.
