Slip & Fall Lawsuit Settlements

Common examples include:

• Wet floors or spills

• Poor lighting in stairways

• Unmarked icy or uneven walkways

• Debris or obstacles in walking paths

• Lack of warning signs for dangerous conditions

Injuries can range from minor to life-altering. Common injuries include:

• Broken bones and sprains

• Back and neck injuries

• Spinal cord injuries or paralysis

• Bruises, scrapes, or pulled muscles

There’s no universal “average” settlement. Your case’s value depends on factors like:

• Medical bills (past and future)

• Lost wages and reduced earning ability

• Pain and suffering

• Long-term disability or impairment

• Emotional distress or lifestyle changes

California law does not cap damages in most slip and fall cases, so settlements vary widely depending on the specifics of each case.

• Seek medical attention immediately.

• Report the incident to the property owner or manager.

• Document the scene (photos, witnesses, conditions).

• Keep records of all medical treatment and expenses.

• Contact a lawyer to evaluate your legal options.
