Assuming that airport is 100% at fault for your fall, you are entitled to be "compensated" or "made whole" for your injuries and damages. There is no "magic formula" or "set amount" to determine how much a personal injury case is worth. Each case is dependent on its own facts. There are a number of different factors that determine how much money you are entitled to, including, but not limited to: whether an injury is permanent; how the injury affected you while you recovering; medical expenses; lost wages; pain and suffering; and inconvenience. If an injury is permanent, you are entitled to money, if applicable, for these items in the future as well. You calculate future money based on projections/ estimates (i.e. future medical expenses) and your life expectancy. If you were partially at fault for your own fault, then the amount of money you are entitled to is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if your case is worth $100 and you were 20% at fault you would be entitled to $80. In addition, to receive money you must be less than 50% at fault for your fall. As you do not describe the circumstances surrounding your fall nor provide enough information about your injuries, I cannot answer your question, "How much are back sprain and knee-contusion lawsuit worth?" I would suggest contacting a personal injury attorney to discuss your case. Most offer a free initial consultation and you can get more information about the value of your case.
