Are certain occupations at a greater risk of a slip and fall accident?

Anyone can be injured in a slip and fall accident. However, certain careers put workers at higher risk of slip and fall accidents. These occupations include workers in the construction industry, housekeepers and other custodial staff, as well as chefs and other kitchen staff and factory workers.

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.

I was an UBER passenger and the car got rear-ended by a utility van. I called 1-800-HURT-511 since a friend dealt with them before and I was glad I did. My attorney was extremely professional and aggressive when necessary. He was transparent from the start and didn’t complicate things unnecessarily.

I highly recommend HURT-511! When the insurance companies turned me away after a scary scooter accident that nearly killed me, a lawyer at HURT-511 stayed and fought for me and recovered the entire policy! Their staff is well-informed and always available to answer my questions. They treated me like one of their own and I made the right decision to stick with them. Thank you so much!
