Zip-lining is among the most extreme sports. It is common in tourist areas and is a common activity while on vacation. Unfortunately, this activity can be very dangerous. Broken wires, displaced or loose wires, physical damage at impact areas, and diameter reduction, are common issues. These hazards can be identified with visual inspection of impact areas on cables as well as the rest of the cable. Unfortunately, the negligence of zip line companies can directly contribute to incidents which can cause dangerous injuries – some of which can even be fatal.

What is the Value of My Claim?
This is a very common question among those who are interested in pursuing injury claims. However, before jumping into the value of your claim, it is important to try to understand the different factors that can affect the value of your claim. These factors are discussed below.
One of the most important factors that must be evaluated to determine the value of a claim is the injuries sustained in the accident. In general, the type and severity of the injuries suffered goes hand in hand with the value of a claim. A claim that only consists of very minor injuries, like a few minor lacerations, scrapes, and bruises, will be worth significantly less than a claim consisting of fractures, for example. As the injuries become more severe, the value of the claim increases.
The reason is that as injuries become more severe, they become more expensive to treat. Injuries that require extensive treatment, including surgeries, physical therapy, etc. are associated with major medical bills. Incidents that result in many different types of injuries (even if these injuries range in severity) are likely to have a higher value – since the medical costs for the different injuries will quickly add up.
This leads to another important factor – the victim’s earning history. Based on the injuries the victim suffered, the victim will be unable to work for some time. This could be a few weeks, a few months, or years. In some cases, the injuries will be permanently disabling. Why does this matter? Of course, if the victim is unable to work because of the injuries suffered, the victim cannot earn income. The longer the victim is unable to work, the higher the recovery for lost pay. The victim has the right to recover compensation for all lost wages, including projected lost wages (which are based on earning history).
Another important factor to consider is how the harm that the victim suffered affected him or her mentally and emotionally. The traumatic experience, the extensive medical treatment, the sudden loss of the ability to work, etc. can all lead to depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and panic disorder, for example. If the victim suffered mental and emotional distress because of the incident, the victim could recover extensive compensation for pain and suffering.
Of course, these are just a few of the factors that could affect the value of your ziplining accident case.
How Much is the Average Value of a Ziplining Accident Case?
The average value of a ziplining accident case is $350,000. This value can be higher if the victim sustained extensive injuries which required long-term medical care (including multiple procedures) or were permanently disabling. Questions about the average settlement of a zip-lining injury lawsuit are common; however, it is important to note that these amounts are estimates – you should never assume the value of your claim based on these values. Ziplining accident lawsuit settlement amounts can vary significantly. Claims with only minor injuries can be worth much less than the $350,000 average payout for a zip-line accident case mentioned above.
How much money can I get if I was injured in a ziplining accident? You can get between $150,000 and $750,000 based on the details surrounding your claim. Since these accidents tend to result in significant injuries, your claim value will likely be on the upper end of this range. In fact, some ziplining injury claims can reach million-dollar settlements.

Are You Unsatisfied with Your Lawyer?
Are you unhappy with the way that your lawyer handled your claim? Is your lawyer trying to settle your case for an unreasonably low amount? Unfortunately, many lawyers are simply trying to settle claims as quickly as possible to ensure that they can move on to more claims. This means that lawyers often accept the first settlement offer. Normally, the first settlement offer is the lowest offer. Ultimately, the client has the final word when it comes to settling a case. However, many lawyers are persistent and convince their clients to settle – even if these cases can potentially have a bigger outcome. If you are unhappy with the way that your current lawyer is handling your claim and are interested in learning whether you could get a better recovery, do not hesitate to contact the experts at our law firm as soon as possible. Our lawyers will not rest until you are awarded the highest recovery available for your claim.
