Phoenix, Arizona, and Surrounding Areas - Slip and Fall Lawyers - Begam, Lewis & Marks
An injury sustained as a result of a dangerous condition on someone else’s property is referred to as a slip and fall, or trip and fall, accident. Water, ice, snow, uneven flooring, inadequate lighting, and other hazards are common causes of slip and fall injuries. If a person is injured as a result of unsafe conditions on someone else’s property, the landowner or business proprietor may be held legally responsible. Our Phoenix slip and fall lawyers can expertly assess premises liability cases and deal with landowners and insurance carriers.
Damages from Slip and Fall Injuries
Certain losses, such as a promotion or the ability to enjoy favorite hobbies, are somewhat subjective and hard to prove. Therefore, it can be difficult to determine how much a victim’s injuries are worth in terms of dollars and cents. Since they are meant to compensate victims for their specific injuries and losses, there is no set formula for determining damages.
In Phoenix and throughout Arizona, there are two types of damages a slip and fall lawyer will fight to recover: special damages and general damages. Special damages are meant to reimburse victims for costs they have incurred for medical and hospital bills, ambulance fees, medications, and physical therapy. In addition, special damages usually cover the wages lost while recovering from an injury. It is fairly simple to calculate these damages with receipts, financial statements, and pay stubs. In contrast, general damages are more subjective and harder to establish. General damages are most often awarded for pain and suffering, and may also include payment for the inability to do housework, the wages a victim will lose if she or he is unable to work, the loss of a promotion, or the loss of ability to enjoy hobbies.
Evaluating Damages
When calculating a demand for damages, our Phoenix slip and fall lawyers will take into account actual losses, the projected amount of future losses, as well as subjective losses, such as the inability to enjoy a previous lifestyle, loss of consortium, or emotional suffering as a result of the injuries. Our personal injury attorneys can also arrange for expert help in the evaluation and presentation of the case.
