Common Injuries from a Slip and Fall

An unexpected tumble can cause a wide variety of physical problems, many of which can alter your daily routine for months or even years. Recognizing how these physical injuries impact your life is a major part of building a solid claim for compensation. People who trip or lose their footing on dangerous property frequently experience a range of physical trauma.

• Fractures and Broken Bones: Landing hard on a solid surface often results in broken wrists, fractured arms, or shattered hips and ankles as people instinctively try to catch themselves.
• Head Injuries: A hard impact with a concrete floor or a store display can cause concussions and severe brain trauma that disrupts your ability to think or work.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: Falling backward or down a set of stairs can damage the vertebrae, leading to chronic back pain or even permanent paralysis.
• Soft Tissue Injuries: Severe muscle strains, ligament tears, and sprains happen when the body twists awkwardly during a sudden loss of balance.
• Bruises and Contusions: Heavy impacts against hard ground leave painful deep-tissue bruising that can take weeks to fully heal.

A sudden loss of balance rarely happens without a reason, and there are several frequent hazards that cause people to get hurt on local properties.
