At Apicella & Schlesinger, we’ve spent over 45 years helping NYC residents injured due to unsafe property recover the compensation they deserve.
If you’ve suffered an injury after slipping and falling in the Bronx, one of your first questions might be: “How much is my case worth?”
The truth is, every slip and fall case is unique. Settlement amounts can vary widely based on the circumstances—but with an experienced Bronx personal injury lawyer by your side, you can pursue the maximum compensation you deserve.
Don’t Let the Insurance Company Lowball You
Insurance adjusters are trained to settle quickly—and cheaply. They may call you right after your accident with a fast offer. Don’t take it without legal advice.
At Apicella & Schlesinger, we thoroughly investigate your case, gather medical records, consult with experts, and work to secure top-dollar settlements. And if they don’t offer what’s fair? We’re ready to go to trial.
Factors That Determine Your Bronx Slip and Fall Settlement Value
1. Severity and Permanence of Your Injuries
Unlike corporate legal factories that categorize injuries based on settlement algorithms, experienced independent attorneys understand that identical injuries affect different people in vastly different ways.
These numbers are for informational purposes only. The best way to understand your case’s value is to speak with an attorney.
- Fractures and broken bones: Settlements typically range from $15,000 to $100,000+ depending on location and healing complications
- Spinal injuries: Cases involving herniated discs or nerve damage often settle between $50,000 to $500,000+
- Traumatic brain injuries: Even “minor” concussions can lead to settlements of $25,000 to $75,000, while more severe TBIs regularly exceed $500,000
- Soft tissue injuries: While corporate firms might dismiss these as “minor,” we’ve secured settlements of $10,000 to $60,000 for clients with significant ligament and tendon damage
2. Location-Specific Negligence in the Bronx
Property owners in the Bronx have specific maintenance obligations that differ from those in other NYC boroughs. Local knowledge makes a significant difference:
- Public housing cases: NYCHA properties have unique liability considerations that can strengthen your claim
- Subway and transit accidents: MTA cases involve specific notification requirements that corporate firms often mismanage
- Commercial property accidents: Different Bronx neighborhoods have varying commercial codes that affect liability
3. Your Potential Lost Income and Future Earnings
Your unique earning capacity has a significant impact on your settlement value. Corporate firms use standardized income calculators, but we analyze:
- Your specific occupation and earning potential
- Bronx-specific employment opportunities in your field
- How your particular injuries impact your specific career trajectory
