Slip-and-fall accidents can cause wide-ranging injuries, from minor wounds to more serious injuries, and even result in paralysis or death. The most common injuries resulting from slip-and-fall accidents include sprains and strains, broken bones, head and brain injuries, back and neck injuries, and contusions.
Head and/or brain injuries are among the most serious injuries that one can sustain from a slip-and-fall. A fall that is hard enough can cause a traumatic brain injury, and even if it doesn’t, it can cause a concussion with symptoms that can last a long time. In such an event, a victim can suffer loss of consciousness, contusions, lacerations, and brain bleeding or swelling in severe cases.
Fractures are also common in trips and fall accidents. A slip-and-fall can cause fractures in the arms, ribs, legs, shoulders, hips, skull, and vertebrae. These fractures may cause permanent disabilities if not treated immediately. Additionally, back and neck injuries and broken bones can be severe in the aftermath of a slip-and-fall and may require surgery to repair.
In summary, slips and falls can cause mild, moderate, and significant injuries. These injuries can range from sprains and strains to broken bones, severe head and or brain injury, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, and even fatal outcomes.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a slip-and-fall accident, it’s important to get immediate care and contact a slip-and-fall accident attorney at Torgenson Law. We can assess your case and help obtain slip-and-fall settlements with/without surgery.
Yes, it is possible to have a slip-and-fall settlement without having surgery in Arizona. Many factors determine a settlement, and surgery is not always necessary to receive a settlement. For many, the severity of the slip or fall injury and the recovery time required can be resolved without surgery. In many cases, the injured person may recover without costly medical treatment, such as surgery.
In cases where the slip-and-fall resulted in a mild injury, such as a twisted ankle, settling the matter without surgery may be possible. In other cases, medical treatment can be managed with over-the-counter medications, physical therapy, or other non-surgical treatments. Depending on the severity of the slip-and-fall injury, a person may not be required to undergo surgery, and the settling party may offer money in lieu of the necessary medical treatments.
Additionally, in some instances, the party that caused the slip-and-fall may offer insurance coverage for the injury. Depending on the policy, this can reduce the burden of medical bills and potentially limit the need for surgery or other medical treatments. This type of slip-and-fall settlement might include a portion of these costs, depending on the type and amount of treatment needed.
A slip-and-fall settlement amount is the compensation awarded to an injured person resulting from a slip-and-fall accident. The amount of the settlement depends on a variety of factors, including the severity of the injury, the amount of lost wages, the amount of medical expenses, the pain and suffering endured, and the negative impact the injury has had on one’s lifestyle.
The severity of the injury is one of the most important factors in determining a slip-and-fall settlement amount. If the injury is serious and results in long-term disability, the settlement amount can be quite substantial. The severity of the injury is generally determined by medical experts and discussed during negotiations between the parties involved.
The details of the accident are also important in determining a settlement amount. How the injury occurred will be essential for both parties in determining whether the accident was caused by negligence on the part of one party or by some factor outside of either party’s control. If the slip-and-fall accident was caused by negligence, the settlement amount may be larger than if it was caused by an act of nature or unforeseeable circumstances.
In addition, the amount of medical bills incurred will also factor into the settlement. If the injured person has incurred costly medical bills because of the injury, they may be entitled to a larger settlement amount to cover the cost of those bills.
Finally, the amount of lost wages will also be considered when determining the settlement amount. For example, if the injury has prevented the claimant from working for an extended period, they may be entitled to more compensation to account for their lost wages.
Ultimately, each case is unique, and the amount of a slip-and-fall settlement will depend heavily on the individual facts of the case, as well as the agreement between the parties involved. You should never attempt to negotiate a settlement on your own for injuries or damages. Contact Torgenson Law and let one of our experienced Arizona personal injury attorneys walk you through the entire process.
Surgery plays a big factor in case worth when necessary to either repair or prevent permanent damage due to an injury. When determining the worth of a case, the extent of the injury, the need for surgery, and the cost of the surgery and associated follow-up medical care are taken into consideration.
Surgery also plays a huge part in pain and suffering awards. This is because the time, money, and physical aspects of dealing with an operation can be quite burdensome and may have a lasting impact on a person’s life. Even after an operation has been completed, there may be long-term medical care needed. All of these factors are considered when determining a case’s worth. If surgery is involved, the case may be worth significantly more to reflect the amount of pain and suffering incurred by the victim.
The average settlement amount in Arizona for slip-and-fall injuries without surgery can vary significantly depending on various factors, such as the injury’s severity, the property owner’s negligence, and the jurisdiction where the incident occurred.
In many cases, slip-and-fall injuries that do not require surgical intervention are considered less severe compared to those that do. However, the average settlement amount for cases that do not require surgery is between $10,000 and $50,000, depending on how badly you were injured and the effect it’s had on your life.
Generally, a settlement amount for slip-and-fall injuries without surgery can range from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. This amount is typically designed to cover the following:
