How much is the average premises liability settlement?

The average premises liability settlement amount varies from case to case. The amount received will depend on a number of factors, including the amount of medical bills and property damage caused by the accident, the extent of the injured person’s physical and emotional suffering, and the potential for punitive damages or other forms of compensation. In Massachusetts, the average premises liability settlement is typically between $30,000 and $60,000. However, this is only an estimate and the amount of money awarded in premises liability cases can vary widely, depending on the strength of the case. For example, an injured person with extensive medical bills and lost wages may receive a higher settlement than someone whose medical bills and lost wages are minimal. The court may also award a higher settlement if they believe that the property owner should have done more to prevent the accident. Ultimately, it is up to the court to determine the appropriate amount of the settlement.
