Editorial Team

Every page on slipfallcalculator.com is written and reviewed before publication by our editorial team. Our goal is accurate, plain-English information that helps people understand premises liability claims without misrepresenting how the law works or overstating what any calculator can tell them.

Our editorial standards

• Primary sources only. Every factual legal claim is tied to a statute, published regulation, court decision, or authoritative secondary source (Restatement of Torts, ALI guidelines). We do not relay legal information from general-purpose websites or AI-generated summaries without independent verification.
• Transparent methodology. Calculator formulas are fully documented on the methodology page, including the data sources behind multiplier ranges and liability adjustments. You should never have to guess how a number was produced.
• Regular review cycle. Premises liability law changes: comparative fault statutes are amended, government tort claims acts are revised, and damages caps are periodically adjusted by state legislatures. We review each page annually and update when law or industry practice changes.
• No sponsored content. We do not accept paid placements or sponsored articles in our editorial content, and editorial decisions are made independently of advertising relationships. Revenue comes from Google AdSense display advertising, plus the disclosed case-review referral form described on our privacy policy — that form is a separate, optional product from the editorial content on this page.
• Scope discipline. We write about legal and financial concepts in general terms. We do not give legal advice, predict outcomes for specific cases, or recommend specific law firms. Every substantive page includes a clear disclaimer and a recommendation to consult a licensed attorney.

Corrections policy

We take accuracy seriously. If you believe a page contains a factual error — an incorrect legal standard, an outdated statute, a miscalculated example — please contact us with the page URL and the specific issue. We will review within five business days and publish a correction if warranted. Material corrections are noted in the page’s revision history with a brief description of what changed and why.

Meet the team

Our editorial team leads editorial oversight for slipfallcalculator.com, drawing on over a decade of experience researching and writing about personal injury law, insurance claims processes, and civil litigation strategy. This work focuses on translating complex legal doctrines — comparative fault, premises liability duty standards, notice requirements — into plain-English guides that are accurate without being misleading. This side of the team is responsible for final review of all calculator formulas and legal content before publication, drawing on a background in legal research and contributions to continuing legal education materials on tort reform and damages quantification. No team member is an attorney, and this work does not constitute legal advice.

Our team also supports the research and fact-checking process for the slipfallcalculator.com guide library, specializing in compiling jurisdiction-specific legal information: statutes of limitations, government tort claims notice requirements, comparative fault frameworks by state, and state-level damages cap surveys. This research work ensures that general principles discussed on the site are checked against the variation that exists across state legal systems, drawing on a background in legal journalism and policy research.

Scope of our content

slipfallcalculator.com covers premises liability and slip and fall claims in the United States. We write primarily about civil tort claims, not workers’ compensation (a separate legal regime that applies when employees are injured at work). Where workers’ compensation or other overlapping systems are relevant to a topic, we note the distinction clearly rather than conflating the two frameworks.

Our guides address general legal principles. Because premises liability law varies meaningfully by state — in duty standards, comparative fault rules, government immunity requirements, and damages caps — any guide on this site should be read as a starting point for understanding, not as jurisdiction-specific legal advice. Consult a licensed personal injury attorney in your state for guidance on your specific situation.
