The value of a premises liability claim often depends on the extent of the injuries suffered. For example, an individual that has sustained a traumatic brain injury as a result of a slip and fall accident may be eligible for a significant settlement, whereas an individual that suffers minor injuries in a similar accident may recover adequate financial support. The losses that will determine the amount of compensation include accident-related expenses, such as hospital bills, prescription medications, rehabilitative therapy, and lost wages. Other non-economic losses may factor into the final settlement, including pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment in life, and mental anguish.
