Slip and fall head injury settlement and your rights

Proof drives the value

You hit your head in a fall on someone else's property. Your slip and fall head injury settlement grows with proof. A scan, a clear diagnosis and lasting changes drive the value.

Falls are the most common cause of brain injuries, CDC data shows. A CT or MRI that shows a bleed raises what your claim is worth. So does a diagnosis from a neurologist.

Lasting changes count

Headaches, memory gaps and mood changes that last for months raise the value. These hidden harms matter as much as a cut or bruise.

Your family sees what changed at home. Their written statements about those changes help prove the injury is real.

Get scanned the same day

Go to the ER the same day you hit your head. Go even sooner if you take a blood thinner. For older adults on blood thinners, bleeding inside the skull can start slowly.

A fall tops the list of brain injury causes in CDC brain injury figures. Headaches, confusion or vomiting hours later need a scan right away. Do not wait for them to pass.
