Should I Hire a Slip and Fall Accident Lawyer?

Navigating the legal process after a slip and fall accident can be complex and overwhelming. Property owners and their insurance companies will often try to minimize their liability, offering settlements that don’t fully cover your losses. Hiring a slip and fall accident lawyer ensures that your rights are protected, and that you receive the compensation you’re entitled to. At Boyadzhyan Law Firm, our experienced attorneys will handle every aspect of your case, from gathering evidence to negotiating with insurance companies, so you can focus on your recovery.

Slip and Fall Compensation Amounts

The compensation you may be entitled to after a slip and fall accident depends on various factors, including the severity of your injuries, the circumstances of the accident, and the impact on your life. Compensation in slip and fall cases can cover both economic and non-economic damages. Our attorneys at Boyadzhyan Law Firm will work with you to assess the full extent of your losses and pursue the maximum compensation possible.

Economic Damages

Economic damages refer to the tangible financial losses you suffer as a result of a slip and fall accident. These damages are intended to reimburse you for:

  • Medical Bills: All costs associated with your medical treatment, including hospital stays, surgeries, medications, physical therapy, and future medical care.
  • Lost Wages: Compensation for income lost due to time off work, as well as any reduction in earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous job.
  • Out-of-Pocket Expenses: Any additional costs incurred due to the accident, such as transportation to medical appointments or hiring help for tasks you can no longer perform.

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages address the intangible losses that result from a slip and fall accident. These damages are more subjective and may include:

  • Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the physical pain and discomfort caused by your injuries.
  • Emotional Distress: Damages for the psychological impact of the accident, including anxiety, depression, and trauma.
  • Loss of Enjoyment of Life: If your injuries prevent you from enjoying activities or hobbies you once loved, you may be entitled to compensation for this loss.
  • Loss of Consortium: In some cases, a spouse or family member may seek damages for the loss of companionship and support resulting from your injuries.

Proving Negligence in Slip and Fall Lawsuit

To successfully pursue a slip and fall lawsuit, it’s essential to prove that the property owner or responsible party was negligent. This involves demonstrating that:

  • A Dangerous Condition Existed: There was a hazardous condition on the property, such as a wet floor, uneven surface, or poor lighting
  • The Property Owner Knew or Should Have Known: The property owner or manager was aware, or should have been aware, of the dangerous condition but failed to take appropriate action to fix it or warn visitors.
  • The Hazard Caused Your Injuries: The dangerous condition directly led to your slip and fall accident and the resulting injurie

At Boyadzhyan Law Firm, we conduct a thorough investigation to gather the necessary evidence to prove negligence and build a strong case on your behalf.

Duty of Care in Slip and Fall Accidents

Property owners and managers have a legal obligation to maintain their premises in a safe condition for visitors. This duty of care includes regularly inspecting the property, addressing potential hazards, and warning visitors of any dangers that cannot be immediately fixed. If a property owner fails to uphold this duty of care and you are injured as a result, they may be held liable for your damages. Our attorneys will work to establish that the property owner breached their duty of care, leading to your injuries.
