This is the most frequent question we get asked by new clients. We cannot give you an exact answer because no one knows. If a personal injury lawyer promises you a result or an exact amount of money, find another lawyer because they are lying to you. Even with our decades of experience in premises liability cases, we cannot determine with exact certainty how much money you can recover because every case is different and comes with its own set of facts.
What we can tell you is the injuries resulting from premises liability issues can be costly. The average cost of a slip and fall, for example, is about $30,000, and that amount only goes up as victims age.
Think about that, if you slip on the puddle of water in the store, you could end up with tens of thousands of dollars in medical expenses. Even if you have insurance, you still have to pay your deductible first. So you are out at least that amount of money, not to mention the frustration that you can’t go about your daily life.
Your best chance of collecting the compensation you need for all of your medical bills and financial losses is to work with a seasoned premises liability attorney in Fort Lauderdale. Your ability to recover compensation for your injuries can depend on the legal representation you choose.
