Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

None, unless the negligence of the store or an employee caused your injury.

If you can establish negligence then you are entitled to lost wages and pain and suffering(general damages) in addition to your medical expenses.

When talking about damages, a person can get paid for their medical bills, time lost from work, and pain and suffering. Sometimes there can be other kinds of damages, but these three are pretty standard. "Pain and suffering" is impossible to calculate precisely, and that's the part which defense insurance companies usually try to pay as little as they can.

A wrist injury can be serious and you should have it looked at carefully before you even think of settling. However, measuring your damages is only HALF of the case! The other half is LIABILITY. The store won't have to pay you anything if they didn't cause your injury. Just falling in a store is NOT enough.

Figuring out if the store is at fault for causing your injury can be a tricky thing, and even more difficult is gathering the evidence to PROVE it! That's why you should have a lawyer involved if your injury is at all serious. This website is not good enough to go over all the details, and a lot depends on those details.
