Business owners are required to maintain a safe environment for guests, customers, and clients, which includes ensuring walkways are free of obstructions. Unfortunately, many property owners neglect this responsibility, creating the conditions for serious slip-and-fall accidents that may leave people seriously injured. When this occurs, a personal injury claim can reduce the financial impact of your losses and provide a wide range of other benefits.

How Winning a Slip-and-Fall Personal Injury Claim Will Benefit You 

1. Securing Compensation for Medical Expenses

2. Recovering Lost Wages

If you’ve been seriously hurt and are unable to work, your slip-and-fall settlement should also include compensation for any wages you’ve lost. Whether you’ve only missed work to make doctor appointments or face long-term disability as a result of your injuries, a successful claim can provide the financial relief you need.

3. Getting Awards for Pain & Suffering

Depending on the severity of your injuries, the psychological scarring and emotional trauma can be just as damaging as your physical pain. In addition to your financial losses, a skilled lawyer may also be able to collect compensation for noneconomic damages such as trauma, pain and suffering, and the impact of your injuries on your daily life.

4. Holding Liable Parties Accountable

When you’ve been hurt because of someone else’s carelessness, a personal injury claim may be the only way to achieve some measure of justice. Fortunately, a skilled lawyer can help hold the liable parties accountable.
