Slip and Fall Attorneys
Slip and fall injuries are very common and can happen anywhere. These types of injuries can include falling down a stairway, slipping on wet floors, tripping on uneven walkways, and many other hazards. Although many slip and fall accidents simply involve muscle strains and sprains, other more serious injuries can involve back, spine, or head injuries. In fact, falls are the leading cause of spinal cord and brain injuries. These accidents can leave victims with serious injuries, some can even be lifelong that require long-term care.
According to the CDC, over 800,000 patients a year are hospitalized because of a fall injury, most often because of a head injury or hip fracture. Furthermore, approximately 300,000 older people are hospitalized due to suffering a hip fracture. These types of injuries can be disabling for the elderly and even result in shortened lifespans for many of the victims.
Indeed, not all slip and fall accidents are the result of someone else’s negligence, but some are. If someone is injured from a slip and fall as the direct result of someone else’s negligence, they may be entitled to compensation from the negligent party.
