Slip-and-fall settlements are calculated based on the following factors:

  1. Who caused the accident? Is one person at fault, or are multiple people liable?
  2. Where did the incident occur? Did the incident happen on public property, private property, or at work?
  3. When was the incident reported? Was a workers’ compensation claim filed within two years of the incident? Did the victim file a personal injury claim against the property owner within Missouri’s injury statute of five years?
  4. What was the severity of the accident? Did the victim suffer partial or total injuries, and were they impermanent or permanent?
  5. Is there proof of the accident and injuries? Was a police report filed right away? Is there a medical report?
