Damages You Could Recover from a Trip and Fall Accident
The person or entity whose negligence led to your accident should bear financial responsibility for its consequences. Accordingly, you could seek the following types of damages:
- Medical expenses
- In-home medical care
- Wage and income loss
- Property damage
- Physical impairment
- Physical disfigurement
- Pain and suffering
- Mental distress
- Emotional trauma
- Loss of enjoyment of life
Our team will uncover the value of each aspect of your injuries. We also ensure the future costs of your medical care and intangible damages are included in your valuation. Doing so protects you from having to pay these expenses on your own, even after your case settles.
The Loss of a Loved One Could Lead to Additional Recoverable Damages
If the loss of a loved one in a slip and fall accident is what has led you to this page, we extend to you our heartfelt condolences. As a surviving family member of a slip and fall accident wrongful death victim, you could request additional compensation for:
- Funeral costs
- Burial expenses
- Loss of companionship
- Loss of consortium (Typically, this refers to the special nature of loss suffered by a person whose spouse has passed away.)
There could also be other expenses related to the loss of your loved one that entitle you to additional compensation. While your family copes with this unexpected loss and emotional recovery, our client-support-focused legal team will assess your losses, handle your claim and lawsuit, and fight for your financial recovery.
Damage Awards for Previous Slip and Fall Clients
Our team fights hard for every client we represent with the goal of securing the best possible outcome. With our help, previous slip and fall clients have received:
- $1,162,301 for an apartment building tenant who suffered coccyx and back injuries after falling on a slippery area
- $1,000,000 for a retail store employee who suffered an ACL rupture and a fracture of the tibial plateau

While you concentrate on restoring your health, we will build your lawsuit and negotiate the settlement you deserve due to the at-fault party’s negligence. If the insurer for the at-fault party refuses to make an appropriate settlement offer, we are able to present your case to a judge and jury and argue for the compensation you are entitled to and the justice you deserve.

Recoverable Damages Have a Time Limit
State laws determine the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit after a slip and fall accident. The following state laws determine filing deadlines for most cases:
- Personal injury statute of limitations – New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules (CVP) §214
- Wrongful death statute of limitations – Estates, Powers & Trusts (EPT) §5-4.1
Failing to understand and comply with the deadline could lead to the dismissal of your suit. To avoid such a terrible consequence, a slip and fall accident lawyer at Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., will identify and comply with the relevant statute of limitations in Massapequa, in a timely and technically accurate manner.
Additional Reasons to Act Quickly
When you act before the statute of limitations expires, our team has time to canvas for witnesses, search for surveillance video, and thoroughly investigate the circumstances of your slip and fall accident. We will also look for accident, incident, and injury reports that substantiate your lawsuit.
The sooner you reach out for help, the more time we have to collect supportive evidence and documents to build a solid case for you.
