Slip. Fall. Medical bills. Missed work. Now What?

One of the most common questions we get at Grigorlaw is:
“How much money can I get for a slip and fall at work?”

The answer depends on several factors—including how you were injured, who was at fault, and how much the injury affects your life. But we’ll walk you through what to expect and how to maximize your compensation.

What’s the Average Payout for a Slip and Fall at Work?

Slip and fall settlements vary widely. In New York, workers’ compensation cases typically range between $15,000–$50,000 for non-catastrophic injuries.
But if a personal injury lawsuit applies, settlements can exceed $100,000+ depending on severity, liability, and long-term damage.

Key Factors That Impact Your Compensation

1. Medical Expenses

   • ER visits, surgery, physical therapy, medications

   • Future treatment needs

2. Lost Wages

   • Time missed from work

   • Loss of future earning potential

3. Pain and Suffering (lawsuit only)

   • Physical and emotional trauma

   • Impact on daily life or mental health

4. Degree of Negligence

   • Was your employer or a third party clearly at fault?

   • Can it be proven with evidence?

Why You Need a Legal Team That Knows the System

Insurance companies aim to pay as little as possible. Without an aggressive legal team, they’ll push low offers—especially if you’re unrepresented.

At Grigorlaw, we build airtight cases, negotiate powerfully, and won’t hesitate to litigate when needed. Your injury is real—and so is the compensation you deserve.
