How much do your injuries cost?

You may be surprised at how much a slip & fall incident can end up costing you. A simple trip could really hurt your body, particularly if you are elderly or have other medical issues. Depending on the extent of your injuries and the circumstances of your fall, you may suffer severe physical trauma like broken bones, a concussion, bruises and more, and may incur costs related to:

• Ambulatory transport
• Imaging tests like X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, etc. 
• Blood work (including transfusions)
• Surgery or multiple surgeries 
• Hospitalization (including overnight stays)
• Medications, both over-the-counter and prescription
• Physical therapy
• Chiropractic care
• Rehabilitation
• Casting, braces, boots, wheelchairs, crutches, or other medical assistive devices 
• Copays 
• Deductibles
• And more! 

All of this can easily add up to thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, and your health insurance plan may not cover all of it. 

You may have to take days, weeks, or even months off of work to recover, using paid vacation or sick days or going without pay that you otherwise would have earned…this could amount to hundreds or thousands more dollars in lost wages. 

There is also the intangible cost of your quality of life, which will surely be affected while you heal…you may not be able to sleep as well, you may deal with constant pain, you may have to miss out on travel plans or activities like biking or exercise you once enjoyed, etc. Our Arlington slip & fall accident attorneys can talk with you to help you determine the exact amount your injuries are worth. 

When falling wasn’t your fault, you shouldn’t pay! 

It’s not fair that these costs – both economic and non-economic – land squarely on your shoulders when your slipping wasn’t a result of your mere clumsiness, but of someone else’s negligence. 

See, property owners who expect to have visitors on their property (whether the property is private or public) have a certain legal responsibility to keep their property safe and free of hazards that could lead to a fall. It’s important to note that not every fall is the property owner’s fault, but in many cases, they may be liable. If they were, they – or their insurance company – should be the one paying your medical bills, not you! 

However, it can be hard to prove that the property owner was at fault. Both property owners and their insurance companies will likely dispute the claims, especially because insurance companies lose money when they pay out compensation to injured accident victims who aren’t insured by them.
