What Damages Can the Injured Party Recover in a Slip and Fall Case?
Financial recovery after an accidental fall will include your current and future medical bills, lost wages, and loss of the ability to earn a living in the future. It can also include property damage or loss. These are economic damages that are typically easy to prove.
You can also recover non-economic damages, which can be more challenging to assess and prove on your own, including:
- Physical impairments
- Disfiguring Injuries
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Emotional distress
- Mental anguish
You do not have to accept a settlement offer that is too low to adequately compensate you. You are entitled to compensation for another person’s or entity’s negligence. If you receive a subpar settlement, we will make appropriate counteroffers and keep fighting for you.
What if a Negligence-Based Fall Led to the Unexpected Loss of a Loved One?
If your family lost a loved one in a slip and fall accident, you have our deepest condolences. While nothing can atone for your loss, you also have our commitment to pursue the following wrongful death damages:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of the decedent’s income
- Loss of their household input
- Loss of consortium and support
- Loss of companionship and guidance
The loss of a loved one can create financial turmoil. Our law firm will pursue favorable compensation on your family’s behalf.
How Long Do You Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Georgia?
In general, you have three years to file your personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit, according to O.C.G.A § 9-3-33. If your lawsuit is not filed on time, you could be prohibited from filing it or it could be dismissed without being heard.
Additionally, if a government or municipal agency is responsible for your fall, you generally have only six months to file a claim, according to O.C.G.A. § 36-33-5. Our law firm will help you understand all the notification and filing deadlines that apply to your case.
