Estimate the value of your premises liability claim. Our calculator accounts for medical bills, lost wages, liability percentage, and injury severity to generate a settlement range.
Premises liability settlements depend heavily on how clearly the property owner is at fault — be honest in your inputs for the most useful estimate.

⚠️ Estimate only — not legal advice. Attorney fees (typically 33–40%) are not deducted from this figure. Consult a licensed attorney before making any decisions.
Slip and fall claims are highly fact-specific. Liability depends on the property owner's actual or constructive knowledge of the hazard, your own contributory actions, the type of visitor status (invitee vs. licensee), and many factors this tool cannot capture. Estimates are educational only. Consult a licensed premises liability attorney before making any decisions about your claim.
Did the property owner know about the dangerous condition? "Actual notice" (they knew) is stronger than "constructive notice" (they should have known). Wet floor signs, maintenance logs, and prior complaints are key evidence.
Invitees (customers, guests) receive the highest duty of care. Licensees (social guests) receive moderate duty. Trespassers receive minimal duty. Your status significantly affects liability.
Photos of the hazard taken immediately after the fall, surveillance footage, witness statements, and incident reports are critical. Evidence degrades quickly — document everything immediately.
Were you wearing appropriate footwear? Were you distracted? Your own percentage of fault reduces your recovery — or bars it entirely in contributory negligence states (AL, MD, NC, VA, DC).
Facts (illustrative only — not a real case): A shopper slips on a puddle near a grocery store's produce section with no wet-floor sign posted. Store surveillance shows the spill sat for over 20 minutes before the fall — supporting constructive notice. She has $9,000 in medical bills for a fractured wrist requiring a cast (no surgery), $1,200 in lost wages, and no future earning-capacity loss expected.
How the estimate is built: Total special damages = $9,000 + $1,200 = $10,200. With a "Moderate" severity multiplier (2.5×), a commercial-location modifier (1.1×), and constructive-notice modifier (1.0×), pain & suffering = $9,000 × 2.5 × 1.1 × 1.0 = $24,750. Gross claim value = $10,200 + $24,750 = $34,950. With owner liability assessed at 80% (strong notice evidence, but the store may argue the hazard was visible), the adjusted estimate is roughly $27,960, before attorney fees and negotiation.
Your numbers will differ. This example only shows how the calculator's inputs connect to its output — it is not a prediction of what any real claim is worth.
Most businesses are required to log falls. Ask for a copy or the report number before you leave, if possible.
The wet floor, uneven pavement, or debris — photographed before it's cleaned, fixed, or removed.
Request preservation of security camera footage in writing, quickly — many businesses overwrite footage within days or weeks.
See a doctor the same day if possible. Gaps between the fall and treatment are one of the most common reasons insurers dispute causation.
Note your footwear and what you were doing at the time — this is often the first thing a defense investigator asks about.
Names and contact information of anyone who saw the hazard, the fall, or the store's response afterward.
Premises liability cases are complex — liability disputes are common. An attorney working on contingency takes no fee unless you win.
