Will I be Able to Recover Compensation? Not surprisingly, the first thing that many victims would like to know is if they will be able to recover compensation for their losses. This is completely understandable, as people who are hurt in slip and fall accidents often have significant medical expenses and lose income from not being able to work. Whether you will be able to recover compensation depends on whether you can establish that your accident was caused by someone else’s negligence. Common examples of slip and fall hazards that are the result of negligence include wet floors, exposed wiring, debris left in walkways, stairwells without handrails, and inadequate lighting.
