You Could Receive Compensation for Your Fall-Related Damages in Fort Lauderdale
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) explains that falls often cause serious injuries, from broken bones to head and brain injuries. These kinds of injuries can cause losses like:
Pain and Suffering
Injuries cause pain, and pain causes suffering. In addition to the pain from any injuries you’ve suffered, your fall may lead to:
- Loss of physical abilities
- Psychological and emotional problems like depression
- Brain damage
- Lost quality of life
- Substance abuse
- Suicidal thoughts
Long-term injury symptoms can contribute to pain and suffering. Our team will work with you to learn how your fall has contributed to your pain and suffering. We’ll include this category of loss in your case for compensation.
Professional Damages
When you fall in a supermarket in Fort Lauderdale, you may miss work for a short or long period. Any time missed from your job can be damaging, as it may cause:
- Loss of income
- Lost performance bonuses
- Lost opportunities to earn promotions
- Loss of status with your employer
If you eventually return to work, then your injuries may limit your professional capabilities. You may lose earning power if you must reduce your hours, change roles, or change occupations because of your injuries. All these losses may be recoverable.
Medical Expenses
Our team will seek coverage of all your fall-related healthcare expenses, including:
- Imaging to diagnose your injuries
- Emergency treatment
- Hospital costs
- Surgery
- At-home care
- Doctors’ appointments
- Any other medical expenses caused by your fall
Medical costs can quickly spiral out of hand, and we want to relieve your financial burden. Our team may have liable parties pay for all your fall-related damages, including healthcare costs.
A fall suffered in a Fort Lauderdale supermarket may prove fatal. If your loved one passes away or has already passed away, then we can file a wrongful death lawsuit for you. You may receive coverage for your loved one’s funeral, lost companionship, loss of your loved one’s future earnings, and other damages.
Your recovery may occupy much of your time. Let our Fort Lauderdale grocery store slip and fall accident and injury lawyer lead your legal case.
