Anyone can be injured in a slip and fall accident. However, certain careers put workers at higher risk of slip and fall accidents.

What kind of damages could I seek from a slip and fall accident?

1800-HURT-511’s network of car accident attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, which means you never pay any upfront fees for legal representation. You only pay a fee if your attorney successfully recovers compensation on your behalf. Contact us to learn more about our attorney fee structure for successful car accident cases.

What should I do if I was hurt in a car accident?

There are two types of damages you can seek in a slip and fall suit are:

  • Economic damages, which are a portion of a claim or lawsuit that seeks compensation for issues such as medical bills, surgery costs, and any associated expenses related to your injuries and treatment. In addition to the medical costs, these damages include your lost wages from missed work, as well as any possible long-term disability or decreased earning capacity. Finally, these damages will include any additional expenses related to the injury that we are able to identify, even including services that you had to pay for that you would normally do yourself.
  • Non-economic damages, which are more complicated to calculate than economic damages in a personal injury case, but no less important. These types of damages include issues like the actual pain and suffering that you experience after these types of injuries, as well as the possibility of depression due to your lack of mobility, or fear of traveling in the city after being injured in this manner.

There are a variety of methods that an experienced slip and fall lawyer in NYC will employ in order to determine the true cost of these damages, but one common method is by using a multiplier. This multiplier is a number along a scale that is intended to indicate the severity of the economic damages in a way that is fair and understandable. Once this number has been chosen, it is applied to the economic damages in order to apply measurable amounts to these abstract damages.

Я был пассажиром UBER, и машину сзади сбил грузовой фургон. Я позвонил по номеру 1-800-HURT-511, так как друг уже имел с ними дело, и я был рад, что я это сделал. Мой адвокат был предельно профессиональным и агрессивным при необходимости . Он был прозрачен с самого начала и не усложнял дела без надобности.
