WHAT IS MY THOMASVILLE SLIP AND FALL CASE WORTH?

Every slip and fall case is different and can result in judgements ranging from a few thousand dollars to millions of dollars depending on a variety of factors. The three key factors that ultimately determine the value of a slip and fall case are the extent of your injuries, how much the property owner was at fault, and the level of comparative fault.

1. Extent of Injuries: Sustaining only bruises, scrapes, and muscle strains after a Thomasville slip and fall accident would result in a smaller recovery. Enduring a traumatic brain injury or permanent paralysis would result in a much more substantial monetary recovery. 

2. Fault of Property Owner: Proving that a property owner was at fault for your slip and fall injury can be tricky, which is why it is crucial to hire a highly skilled attorney for your Thomasville case. It must be proven that the property owner had knowledge of the dangerous conditions that existed on the property and failed to warn you. Equally important is that you must prove that you knew less than the property owner about the dangerous conditions on the property.

3. Level of Comparative Fault: Multiple parties can be held liable in a slip and fall case, including the property owner and the victim. Juries in Georgia assign percentages of fault to the defendants and plaintiffs in slip and fall cases. Unfortunately, the property owner’s insurance company usually blames the victim in the case for not avoiding the hazard on the property. If it is proven that the victim had equal or greater knowledge about the hazard on the property than the property owner, the victim will not receive any compensation for his/her injuries. Therefore, it is so important to hire an experienced slip and fall attorney who is prepared for the arguments that are made by the at-fault property owner’s insurance and is able to prove your case.
