Q: Whats the least amount for a slip and fall in N.C proff of all damage is from Fall and had to get a complete knee replac
Has a knee replacement and a knee multiplier
A:
$0 is the least amount that a plaintiff can recover for a slip and fall.
As always, every case depends upon its own facts and circumstances. A defendant in such a case is usually a party who has control of the premises where the slip and fall occurred. Such a party has to duty to invitees to warn or make safe a concealed unreasonably dangerous condition of which it has knowledge.
It is not uncommon in a slip and fall case for a jury to find the condition wasn’t concealed but was open and obvious. It is also not uncommon for a jury to find it was not unreasonably dangerous. Finally, it is not uncommon for a premises owner not to have knowledge of the condition.
Many plaintiffs in such cases settle for “cost of defense” rather than run the risk of getting nothing at trial.
Tim Akpinar agrees with this answer
A: It could depend on a number of factors, a major one being liability. It is difficult for attorneys to speculate on dollar figures. A North Carolina attorney could advise best after seeing the case file. Good luck
