ALL FIVE BOROUGHS. ONE CLEARER START.
An educational estimate, not a guaranteed result or legal advice.
A NUMBER IS A START. UNDERSTANDING YOUR OPTIONS IS THE NEXT STEP.
YOUR RECOVERY IS MORE THAN A BILL
LOOK AT THE
BIGGER PICTURE.
What has this fall changed for you? A case review looks beyond the first hospital visit to understand the effect on your work, health, and everyday life.
The income you’re missing.
Time away from work can put pressure on your household. Start with the pay you have already lost.
The life you’re trying to get back.
Pain and limitations do not have a fixed price tag. Their impact needs an individual review, not just a formula.
You do not need every answer today. No bills in front of you? Choose “I don’t know my costs yet” and continue to a free review.

BUILT AROUND THE WAY YOU FELL
NOT EVERY FALL
LOOKS THE SAME.
An icy walkway. An unsafe stairway. A spill nobody cleaned up. Your circumstances matter just as much as the numbers.
01Sidewalks & Ice
Uneven pavement, snow, or ice may raise questions about who was responsible for keeping a walkway safe.

This educational tool adds the medical bills, expected future medical costs, lost income and other costs you enter. It then adds a hypothetical pain-and-suffering component based on total medical costs. The default lower and upper factors are 0.5 and 2; you can change them on the results screen. These are illustrative settings chosen for scenario exploration. They are not settlement averages, a statistical confidence interval, an insurance rule, or an assessment of your injury.
The optional responsibility slider reduces both scenario amounts by the percentage you choose. It starts at 0%, meaning no reduction is modeled. It does not decide fault. New York’s comparative-fault rules may affect damages, and a licensed attorney should evaluate whether and how those rules apply to your circumstances. The tool is intended for New York slip-and-fall inquiries and does not apply other states’ laws.
A calculation cannot establish negligence, evaluate evidence, determine deadlines, or account for insurance limits. It does not calculate net proceeds after attorney fees, case expenses, liens, offsets or repayment obligations. Future losses omitted from your inputs are not included. With no medical costs or unknown costs, no range is shown; this does not mean a claim has no value. Injury and location answers are context for an optional review and do not change the formula.
New York courts describe pain-and-suffering awards as dependent on individual circumstances, without a precise formula. An actual outcome can fall outside these scenarios, including no recovery. Do not use this tool alone to accept or reject an offer or delay seeking advice.
