Common Slip and Fall Accident Injuries
The head and limbs are particularly vulnerable to harm in a slip-and-fall accident. Summary In a slip-and-fall accident, common injuries include brain injuries, damage to the hips, back, and neck, and fractured or broken bones. Slip-and-fall accident injuries can occur when a person overlooks a hazard like a wet floor or loose step. A property owner who fails to address a dangerous walking condition that causes a slip-and-fall accident can be held liable for damages, such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Slip-and-fall accident attorneys can connect the property owner's negligence to your injuries and resulting damages. Slip-and-fall accidents can occur anywhere, including work, school, a friend’s house, or a restaurant. An obstacle or an issue with a walking area can cause a person to fall from a loss of balance. These types of accidents can expose a person to significant injury, as they can fall on the hard floor and cause injuries to their head, neck, shoulders, arms, and face.
