Common Causes Of Slip And Fall Accidents

There are many different things that can cause a slip and fall accident. Some of the most common causes include wet or icy surfaces, cluttered floors, torn carpeting, and uneven flooring. Unfortunately, these accidents often occur due to someone else’s negligence. Property owners, businesses, and government entities can all be held liable for an accident if they fail to maintain their premises in a safe condition or warn you about potential hazards.

If you experience an injury as a result of a slip and fall accident, our attorneys can help you determine who is responsible for the accident and get the compensation you deserve. Property owners are obligated by law to keep their premises free of hazards that may lead to an accident. This means they must regularly inspect their property for potential hazards and take appropriate actions such as replacing broken equipment, repairing potholes or other uneven surfaces, cleaning up spills promptly, and providing proper lighting in dark areas. Failure to do so may expose them to liability if someone gets hurt because of it.

Injuries Caused by Trip and fall Accidents

Each year over 1 million people visit emergency rooms  because of slip and fall accidents. Trip and fall accidents can cause serious injuries that may range from broken bones to traumatic brain injuries. If you have been injured in a slip and fall accident, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible so that your injuries can be properly treated.

The severity of injuries that result from a slip and fall or trip and fall can range from mild to serious. Minor scrapes, cuts, bruises, and sprains are common when someone experiences an accidental fall. These minor injuries can cause pain and discomfort, but typically heal on their own without any medical intervention. However, more severe slip and fall accidents can lead to broken bones, fractures, dislocations, tears in ligaments or tendons, sprains, strains, and even head trauma – including concussions and traumatic brain injuries. The way a person lands after falling can have a huge impact on the type and severity of injury they experience – if a person lands on their spine for example, it may be more likely for them to experience some form of trauma to the spinal cord such as disc herniation or nerve damage. In addition to physical trauma associated with falls, another potential danger is infection; if lacerations are not properly treated with antibiotics or other medication then the risk of infection increases significantly. Therefore it is important for those who have experienced a slip or trip to receive prompt medical attention.
