Premises accidents can lead to severe injuries, including broken bones and fractures. If an individual slips and falls on the premises and strikes their head, it’s possible the victim will suffer one or more traumatic head and brain injuries. If the accident victim lands on their back, the accident victim can suffer a serious spinal cord injury, accompanied by some type of paralysis. Finally, if the accident victim strikes their shoulder on the ground, the accident victim can suffer a serious rotator cuff injury.
If you suffered one or more injuries while visiting someone else’s premises, it is possible you needed medical treatment or physical therapy as a result and could not work during the time period you were recovering. Fortunately, all of these damages are compensable.
When you file an insurance claim or lawsuit against a premises owner, you can file a claim for monetary compensation and damages. As part of your claim, you can recoup the costs of your medical bills and lost wages, as well as seek recovery for all of the mental anguish, emotional distress, pain and suffering, and inconvenience that you endured as a result of the injuries suffered in your premises accident.
If you suffered an injury to such an extent that you could not continue in the same line of work, you could file a claim for loss of earning capacity. Likewise, you can recover compensation and damages for the inability to use a body part, for loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of spousal support and companionship. Damages can also be for permanent injuries, including disability or disfigurement.
