Common causes of slip and fall accidents
To be eligible, an injury must result from a hazard on the premises where the fall occurred. These hazards come in many forms.
Common examples include:
- Spilled food or drink
- Loose extension cords
- Exposed wiring
- Potholes
- Loose or broken stairs
- Empty swimming pools
- Accumulated snow or ice
- Unsecured rugs
- Worn carpeting
To recover compensation following these accidents, you must establish that the property owner was aware of the hazard but failed to rectify it in a timely manner. A dedicated slip and fall attorney can assist you in meeting this burden.
Injuries in a slip and fall accident
The severity of the accident depends on what part of the body absorbs the impact and the height of the fall.
Some of the more common injuries include:
- Cuts and bruises
- Broken bones
- Concussions and other traumatic brain injuries
- Paralysis
- Neck injuries
- Internal bleeding
- Tendon or ligament damage
- Sprained or broken ankles
Recovery takes time and financial resources. From medical bills to lost wages, the economic impact of a severe injury will be difficult for most people. A successful personal injury claim could result in financial damages that would compensate you for these losses.
