Which Damages Entitle You to Compensation?
You may receive compensation for any harm that comes from your fall. Each slip and fall accident victims suffers uniquely, but categories of damages we see in our clients include:
- Medical costs
- Professional damages
- Pain and suffering
- Wrongful death
Within each of these categories, there are many specific losses that we can seek compensation for.
Fall-Related Medical Costs
Per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the total medical cost to treat older adults’ fall-related injuries is $904 million each year. This is only a portion of the total medical cost of falls in Georgia, and indicates how expensive your own medical care may be.
Your fall may require:
- Emergency transportation from the scene of your fall to a medical facility
- Surgery
- Hospitalization
- Medications
- Several doctor’s visits
- Rehabilitation
If you suffer long-lasting symptoms or disability, you may need to modify your home and purchase a disability-friendly vehicle and medical equipment. We’ll include each of your fall-related medical costs in your target settlement figure.
Professional Damages
Professional damages may stem from your inability to work. Therefore, the extent of these losses may depend on how long you’re unable to work. Some professional damages we’ll seek compensation for include:
- Lost productivity
- Lost wages
- Lost earning power
- Lost benefits
- Slowing of your professional progress, including lost opportunities for promotions
If you eventually return to work, but are hampered by symptoms of your injuries, then you may lose earning power. You may even have to change jobs to accommodate your symptoms.
Pain and Suffering
A fall can cause several forms of pain and suffering, including:
- The pain resulting from your injury
- Lost quality of life
- Emotional and psychological distress
- Conditions like depression and anxiety, which may emerge or become worse because of your fall
- Lost sleep
Our firm can assign a dollar figure to your pain and suffering.
A Wrongful Death
Mayo Clinic explains that fall-related injuries, like a traumatic brain injury, can be deadly. If your loved one passes away because of fall-related injuries, then you and loved ones may receive coverage for:
- Funeral and burial costs
- Loss of companionship
- Pain and suffering (of both the decedent and yourself)
- Loss of parental guidance
- Lost financial support
- Other damages
The types of damages you have may depend on who is pursuing coverage after a loss. A spouse, child, parent, sibling, or grandparent may pursue a wrongful death claim, under certain circumstances.
A Stockbridge slip and fall injury lawyer from Kaine Law will identify your losses, then pursue fair compensation.
