Injuries from a slip and fall or trip and fall accident can be serious and cause lifelong damages. They can affect the spine, brain, bones, and even cause death. If you were injured as the result of a fall, let Brewer Law Firm help you get the compensation you deserve from an accident caused by a dangerous condition caused by the negligence of another.

 

Reasons for Slip and Fall Injuries

Falls happen for all kinds of reasons. However, if someone else is responsible for the location where the fall occurred, you may be able to recover compensation if they were negligent in how they maintained the premises.

 

Here are a few reasons slip and fall accidents occur in ways that may allow for a claim:

 

• Wet/slippery floors

• Step-ups and drop-offs

• Raised, cracked or uneven sidewalks

• Painted concrete with no grit

• Cords or strings stretched across walkways 

• Inadequate lighting

• Unsecured railings

 

Common Injuries from Slip and Falls

It’s easy to assume that injuries from a slip and fall are minor, but the extent of an injury doesn’t always reveal itself right away.

 

This is especially true of head injuries where the brain has been traumatized. You should never assume your injuries are minor. You should be evaluated by a doctor to make sure that your injuries will not become more serious if left untreated.

 

Common injuries include:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs)

• Closed Head Injuries and Concussions

• Neck and Spinal Cord injuries

• Back injuries

• Injured Joints

• Torn tendons and ligaments

• Broken bones

 

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), falls are the number one cause of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in children and the elderly. There were over 64,000 TBI-related deaths in the United States in 2020. That’s about 176 TBI-related deaths every day.
