입력
Minor bruising, $2,000 medical bills, no lost wages, 1.5x
결과
$2,000 + ($2,000 × 1.5) = $5,000 estimated
피해야 할 일반적인 실수

자주 묻는 질문
How long do I have to file a slip and fall claim?
The statute of limitations varies by state, typically 2–3 years from the date of injury. Claims against government entities often have much shorter notice periods (30–180 days).
What if I was partially at fault?
Most states use comparative fault, reducing your award by your fault percentage. A few states bar recovery entirely if you are 50–51% or more at fault.
