Slip-and-fall accidents account for many injuries throughout Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people are familiar with the term slip and fall, but they often downplay or overlook the severity of injuries resulting from the fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, according to the National Floor Safety Institute, slip and falls<\/a> account for over one million emergency room visits each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you were recently injured in a slip-and-fall accident, you might be contemplating filing a claim for damages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most commonly asked questions we get is, What is the average slip-and-fall settlement amounts<\/a> in Texas?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it isn\u2019t easy to provide an average because every situation is different, and every case is unique. It\u2019s also difficult to determine an average because many settlements are not reported to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, they cannot be factored into the equation\u2014making any \u201caverage\u201d calculation incomplete and inaccurate. With that being said, we can look at certain factors that will influence settlement amounts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is a Settlement?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First and foremost, it is crucial to understand what a settlement is and what it means for you. Generally, a settlement is an agreed-upon amount of compensation that occurs outside of court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is negotiated between the parties without the need for judicial intervention. A settlement will also typically dispel the defendant of any further liability or responsibility. Most cases resolve in a settlement, and only a small percentage go to trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is possible to negotiate a settlement on your own, but if you are inexperienced at negotiating with insurance companies, there is a high likelihood that you will not get the adjuster to give you what your case is worth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insurance adjusters work to save their company money and pay you as little as possible. Therefore, it is best to have an experienced personal injury lawyer deal with the insurance company or defendant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Settlements will vary widely from case<\/a> to case, not just in the amount but also in the type of settlement. Settlements can be in the form of lump sum payments or incremental payments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
