Hidden Hazards
Types of slip and fall injuries
Most injuries caused by a slip and fall are not major accidents. Common types of injuries include scrapes, cuts, bruises, or perhaps a sprained ankle, dislocated shoulder, or broken bone. But any fall has the potential to be serious; indeed, falls are the leading cause of concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) nationwide. That's why it's critical that you get checked out by a doctor (and get a second opinion if your doctor doesn't take you seriously). Pay attention to every symptom, even as simple as a headache. Your health comes first.
Unfortunately, serious accidents causing severe injury do happen. An accident that leads to traumatic brain and spinal cord injury may need several surgeries to fix the damage caused by the fall. Other types of injuries may require physical therapy or dental work. Some falls leave people with a permanent back injury or increase the risk of a future need for surgery like knee or shoulder replacement. In severe instances, a victim could die when a slip and fall accident is caused by a property owner's negligent maintenance.
Slip and fall accident victims can seek compensation for the negligence of the owner of the premises. The owners of businesses, apartment complexes, and private residences are responsible for maintaining safe conditions on their property. Whatever the circumstances surrounding your slip and fall accident, it's crucial for you to get medical treatment from the appropriate specialists and legal representation from an experienced attorney. A slip and fall accident lawyer can aggressively fight for the compensation you deserve in Massachusetts or Connecticut.
