Estimate your premises liability claim for injuries from slip, trip, and fall accidents on commercial or private property. Includes property owner negligence analysis and comparative fault adjustments.
Based on premises liability and comparative negligence law
Slip and fall accidents account for over 1 million emergency room visits annually in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). They are the leading cause of non-fatal injuries across all age groups and the #1 cause of injury-related hospitalization for adults over 65.
| Injury | Avg. Settlement |
|---|---|
| Bruises / minor sprains | $5,000 – $15,000 |
| Wrist / arm fracture | $15,000 – $75,000 |
| Hip fracture (especially elderly) | $75,000 – $300,000 |
| Back / spinal injury | $50,000 – $250,000 |
| TBI / severe head injury | $100,000 – $1,000,000+ |
If you've suffered a slip and fall: (1) Photograph the hazard, (2) Get witness contact info, (3) File an incident report with the property/store manager, (4) Request security camera footage immediately — many systems overwrite within 24-48 hours, (5) Seek medical attention the same day. This evidence is critical since National Safety Council research shows documented cases settle for 2-3x more than undocumented ones.
