Slip & Fall Accidents
What Is A Slip And Fall Injury And What Types Are Most Common Types of Slip and Fall Injuries ?
A: A SLIP AND FALL IS...
The phrase that is used in the legal community for an injury arising out of a slip, trip, or fall that occurs due to a hazardous or a dangerous condition that is present on another person or entity's property. Unfortunately, slip and fall injuries are common, with at least 1,000,000 slip and falls annually. More than three hundred thousand work related slip and fall injury accidents resulting in disability occur every year.
MOST COMMON SLIP AND FALL INJURIES
The most common injuries arising out of slip and falls accidents include
- spinal cord injuries
- neck injuries
- shoulder injuries
- back injuries
- knee injuries, and
- muscular and ligamentous injuries.
Slip and fall accidents can also result in head injuries.
This type of injury is referred to as a closed head injury and can result in long-term brain damage. The symptoms of traumatic brain injury are often subtle and not always immediately present or diagnosable for a period of time following the injury accident. It is particularly important to seek immediate medical evaluation and treatment if you have hit your head and to watch for symptoms and obtain follow up evaluation in such event.
Slip and fall injuries are a serious threat for the aging population and are the leading cause of death for people 65 years of age or older. Moreover, nearly 25 percent of the elderly die less than a year after suffering a hip fracture due to a fall. Half of those who incur a hip fracture are are permanently disabled as a result and do not regain their mobility and their independence.
A slip and fall injury victim should obtain immediate medical attention. If the fall occurred due to the negligence of another, and that accident injury causes injury, disability, or loss of income, the negligent person or entity should be held accountable for the resulting medical bills, pain and suffering, wage loss and other losses.
