Brooklyn Slip and Fall Attorney Samantha Kucher Explains Settlement Options for Non-Surgical Injuries

BROOKLYN, NY - Property owners in New York face liability for injuries sustained on their premises when dangerous conditions exist and proper warnings or remedies are not provided. Brooklyn slip and fall attorney Samantha Kucher of Kucher Law Group (https://www.rrklawgroup.com/slip-and-fall-settlements-is-surgery-required/) explains that injured individuals can pursue compensation regardless of whether surgical intervention is required.

According to Brooklyn slip and fall attorney Samantha Kucher, New York premises liability law allows recovery for various non-surgical injuries including sprains, fractures treated with casts, concussions, and soft tissue damage. Eligibility depends on proving that a dangerous condition existed and that the property owner had notice of it or created it, not on the severity requiring surgery. "Even injuries that seem minor initially can develop into chronic conditions that significantly impact your ability to work and enjoy life," explains Kucher.

Brooklyn slip and fall attorney Samantha Kucher notes that settlements encompass both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include medical expenses such as emergency room visits, diagnostic tests, physical therapy sessions, and prescription medications, along with lost wages from missed work time. Non-economic damages compensate for pain, suffering, and reduced quality of life.

Attorney Kucher emphasizes that several factors influence settlement value beyond surgical necessity. Medical documentation showing the extent of injuries, treatment plans, and prognosis strengthens claims significantly. "Gaps in treatment can hurt your case because insurance companies argue you were not truly injured," she notes. The property owner's degree of fault also affects negotiations, particularly when clear evidence exists that a business knew about a dangerous condition and ignored it.

The firm handles cases throughout Kings County, representing clients injured at properties from Park Slope to Williamsburg. Under New York's comparative negligence rule, settlement amounts decrease by the injured party's percentage of fault if they contributed to the accident.

Kucher advises that common mistakes can diminish compensation or destroy claims entirely. Delaying medical treatment gives insurance companies grounds to question injury severity. "If you were really hurt, you would have gone to the doctor immediately," insurance adjusters often argue. Failing to follow prescribed treatment plans, giving recorded statements without attorney representation, and posting activities on social media can all undermine claims.

"The timeline for slip and fall settlements varies based on case complexity and insurance company cooperation," states Kucher. Most cases follow a predictable sequence beginning with immediate incident reporting and medical attention. Attorneys typically send demand letters once the injured party reaches Maximum Medical Improvement, which might take weeks or months depending on injury severity. New York's three-year statute of limitations for personal injury cases provides time to fully understand injuries before filing suit, though claims involving public entities require a Notice of Claim within 90 days.

The firm emphasizes that strong documentation makes the difference between low settlements and full compensation. Critical evidence includes incident reports, photographs of hazardous conditions, witness statements, comprehensive medical records, employment records proving lost wages, and surveillance footage when available. For those facing the challenges of slip and fall injuries without surgical intervention, consulting an experienced premises liability attorney may help secure appropriate compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and ongoing limitations.
