You slipped and fell on spilled milk at the grocery store. You suffered serious injuries as a result. Then, you were hospitalized for weeks. Your medical bills are mounting. On top of that, you can no longer work.
Slip-and-fall cases are common. While some are minor, with the victim recovering quickly, some result in disability or permanent injury. What do you do? How will you pay your bills?
A case against the liable party is typically the way to go. Many Denver victims have received hundreds of thousands of dollars—even millions of dollars—for damages suffered in a slip-and-fall case. Read on to find out how much you can possibly receive for your injuries.
Not every situation is the same. The value of your Colorado slip-and-fall case will be based on factors such as:
Slip-and-fall case settlements can range widely, from a few hundred dollars to a few million dollars. It all depends on the amount of damages involved. Your lawyer will be able to research similar cases in your area and determine a fair value for your case.
For minor cases, you could expect a settlement somewhere in the range of $15,000 to $20,000. For more serious cases, you may be able to receive a settlement around $100,000 to $250,000.
In cases of extreme recklessness, you could receive a multi-million dollar settlement, although these are not common. The largest slip-and-fall lawsuit ever was for $15 million and it was awarded to a Colorado woman. She was a truck driver injured when slipping on a grease spill at a Walmart in Greeley. The woman suffered injuries such as incontinence and chronic pain and struggles with depression. She can no longer work as a truck driver.
