Average Settlements For Slip And Fall Knee Injuries

Slip-and-fall accidents can lead to serious injuries, and knee injuries are one of the most common types of injuries from slip-and-fall accidents. 

However, if you were injured in a slip-and-fall accident, it may be comforting to know that you may be entitled to seek justice and compensation.

At Starpoint Law, we have a team of experienced slip and fall injury attorneys that can assist you in bringing a legal action so that you can get the compensation that you deserve. 

This post will discuss some basics about slip-and-fall accidents and will talk about the average settlement for  slip-and-fall knee injury.

This way, you can know a little more about what to expect when you bring your legal claim. 

What are Slip-and-Fall Accidents? 

Slip-and-fall accidents are a lot like what they describe: an accident where you slip, fall, and injure yourself.

These types of accidents often occur due to someone else’s negligence in keeping the floor area safe.

Some of the most common causes of slip-and-fall accidents include: 

  • Wet floors, 
  • Loose rugs or mats, 
  • Uneven flooring, 
  • Spilled food or liquid, 
  • Holes or cracks in the floor, 
  • Exposed tripping hazards like wiring, and
  • Loose floorboards. 

These are just some of the conditions that can lead to a slip-and-fall accident. Further, if you were injured due to one of the above—or another type—of dangerous conditions, we recommend you seek medical attention immediately. 

What Is the Average Settlement for a Slip-and-Fall Knee Injury? 

If you were injured in a slip and fall accident—say you fell on your kneecap on concrete—you might be wondering about the average settlement for a knee injury from a slip and fall.

If so, you should know that there is no reliable way to determine an average settlement for this type of injury. This is because every injury and its surrounding circumstances vary greatly from case to case. 

Though, there are some general factors that usually go into determining how much someone can recover for an injury.

Some of these considerations include: 

  • Who was at fault in the accident, 
  • The severity of the injury incurred, 
  • The amount of time you had to take off work, 
  • The type of treatment that your injury required, and
  • The cost of the treatment of your injury. 

These are just some of the factors that will normally go into determining how much a settlement amount is worth. In some cases, there can be more factors, but those are best explained by an experienced personal injury attorney.
