We know first-hand that slip and fall accidents can cause permanent disabilities and can even be fatal. To learn more about your rights and how we can help you, please contact us right away.
Slip and Fall Injuries
Many falls result only in minor scrapes and bruises, but some cause very serious injuries, chronic pain, and a few result in death.
Injuries which appear to be minor may actually be far more serious, and injuries which are actually minor, initially, can become far more serious when complications, such as infection, are involved. When slip and fall is the result of filthy conditions, the likelihood of life-threatening infection and infection leading to amputations is heightened.
Slip and fall injuries can include:
- Brain injury
- Spinal cord injury
- Chemical burns
- Infections and sepsis
- Amputations
- Knee injuries
- Shoulder injuries
- Soft tissue injuries
- Broken bones and fractures
