Common Slip and Fall Injuries
A slip and fall accident may seem minor at first glance, but the injuries sustained can often be severe or even life-changing. These accidents frequently involve sudden, forceful impacts that can result in significant harm.
Common Injuries Include:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): These can range from concussions to severe brain trauma caused by hitting your head on the ground or another object.
- Hip Fractures: A hard fall on a hip can result in painful fractures that often require surgery and extensive rehabilitation.
- Shoulder Injuries: Falls can cause shoulder dislocations or nerve damage, leading to lingering pain and mobility issues.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: A fall can strain or compress the spine, causing chronic back pain or even lasting paralysis in extreme cases.
- Sprains and Strains: These injuries to ankles, wrists, or other joints are common due to the sudden nature of slip and fall incidents.
Even if your injuries don’t seem severe immediately, it’s essential to seek a full medical evaluation. Some issues, like concussions or soft tissue injuries, may not become apparent until days later. Connecting your injuries to the accident is crucial for building a strong legal claim.
Determining Liability in Slip and Fall Cases
While property owners are responsible for maintaining safe environments for visitors, not all slip and fall accidents automatically result in liability. For your claim to succeed, it must be proven that the property owner acted negligently.
Key Elements to Establish Liability:
- Ownership or Control: Demonstrate that the defendant owned, managed, or leased the property at the time of your accident.
- Negligence: Show that the property owner failed to maintain safe conditions or ignored known hazards.
- Harm: Prove that you sustained an injury while on the property.
- Causation: Establish that the property owner’s negligence directly caused your injury.
Negligence can take several forms, such as the property owner creating a danger, failing to remedy a known hazard, or neglecting to inspect for risks that a reasonable property owner would have identified. At Carpenter & Zuckerman, our attorneys have extensive experience investigating liability in slip and fall cases, ensuring no detail is overlooked.
