Compensation can include medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering, as well as future medical needs and potential out-of-pocket expenses. The amount depends on liability, documented damages, and the impact on your life. An attorney can help assess value and negotiate with insurers.

Bring incident reports, medical records, photos of injuries and the scene, contact information for witnesses, and any correspondence with insurers or property owners. This helps tailor the initial assessment.
Fault is assessed by examining who owed a duty of care, whether that duty was breached, and how the breach caused injuries. Evidence may include surveillance footage, maintenance logs, and witness statements.
