When the owner was careless
You broke your hip in a fall on someone else's property, and the bills are already coming. A slip and fall hip fracture settlement pays for that harm when the owner was careless. It covers past bills and the care you still need.
More than 300,000 people in the U.S. go to the hospital for hip fractures each year. Most are adults 65 or older hurt in falls.
What raises a slip and fall hip fracture settlement
Surgery, a stay in a rehab center and needing a walker or a home aide all raise the value. So does a family member who now helps you with daily care.
Future care counts, not only past bills. The CDC reports that falls cause 83 percent of hip fracture deaths among older adults. No official average exists, and the settlement calculator shows how the pieces add up.
What to do next
First, call us for a free case review. A slip and fall lawyer in your state goes over your fall. The lawyer works on contingency, so there is no fee unless you win.
Keep every bill from surgery, rehab and home care. Write a short daily note of what you can no longer do. Proving a slip and fall case also starts with the hazard that dropped you.
Protect your claim from the insurer
The insurer will ask you to sign a medical release. Do not sign a broad one. It lets them search years of old records for something to blame.
Your lawyer can limit the release to this injury. Every state sets a statute of limitations for your claim. Waiting too long can end your right to file.
Questions people ask after a fall
What is the average hip fracture settlement from a slip and fall?
There is no official average. Your value depends on your surgery, rehab, future care and the owner's fault.
How long does a hip fracture claim take to settle?
Most lawyers wait until treatment ends so every bill is known. That often means several months to a year. Surgery makes it take longer.
Does a pre-existing condition ruin my claim?
No. An owner can be responsible for making an old condition worse. Your doctor's notes comparing you before and after the fall matter most.
Do I pay anything up front?
No. Your lawyer is paid only if you win. The fee comes out of the settlement, not your pocket.
